Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are playful and affectionate dogs that have become very popular in recent years. Here are some fun facts about Dachshunds you may not know: they originated in Germany, were bred primarily to hunt badgers, and have been around since the 16th century. They come in three different coat varieties: short-haired, long-haired, and wire-haired, and their size can range from a miniature variety (11 pounds) to a standard variety (32 pounds or more).
It is possible that you may have allergies to Dachshunds, but it is not the same for every person. Allergies are individual and different people may react differently based on their own environment and the particular Dachshund they are around. If you believe you may have allergies it is important to speak to a doctor who can advise you on a plan that could provide relief from symptoms. In some cases, over-the-counter medication or limiting your time around a Dachshund may be beneficial.
Dachshunds should not have any foods that are high in fat, as obesity will increase the risk for IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). They are also sensitive to certain foods, so owners should avoid feeding them pork, onions, garlic, and other spices. They should also avoid grapes and raisins, as these can cause acute kidney failure in these little breeds. Additionally, Dachshunds should stay away from chocolate--it's toxic for dogs and can lead to serious health problems.
Yes, Dachshunds have specific needs that require commitment and care from their owner. They have a life expectancy of 12 to 16 years and need proper nutrition for a healthy lifestyle. Exercise is also important for the breed, both in the form of playtime, walks, and focused training sessions. Dachshunds are also prone to a variety of health issues, such as obesity, back problems, joint problems, and respiratory issues. Proper grooming is an important part of their daily routine as their long fur can easily tangle and knot.
It all depends on your definition of "big". By size alone, Dachshunds are certainly small breeds; the standard size typically ranges from 8-9 inches and about 16-32 pounds. However, when thinking about their personalities, they can be pretty large and bold, which gives them a "big dog" persona. As long as you provide them with enough exercise and a safe environment to explore, they can live happily in apartments and other small living quarters. Dachshunds may be small, but they certainly have a large presence!
Yes, you can definitely take your Dachshund running! It's important to first ensure that your pup is healthy enough for the exercise, since Dachshunds are prone to back injuries and easily tire. Start slowly and with relatively short distances and help them build up their endurance. Make sure to bring enough water, and if you're going to be out for a while bring extra food. Pay attention to the temperature and if it's hot, make sure to keep your pup cool and hydrated as over-exposure to heat could be dangerous.
Dachshunds are known for being friendly and loyal dogs, and have the potential to be a great companion for children. As with all breeds, supervision should be a priority when introducing a pet into your home. Socialization with other animals is key for Dachshunds if they're expected to be around other animals and children, and should start early on in the dog's life. Additionally, it's important to provide the pup with appropriate toys, give them boundaries, and train them with positive reinforcement.
The amount of time you need to train your Dachshund each day will depend on their age, temperament and experience level. Generally, a good rule of thumb is at least 10-15 minutes per day, but you may want to aim for 20-30 minutes if possible. If you have a puppy, you may want to extend this time to ensure that they are developing strong habits, making it easier for them to learn and remember commands later on.
