Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are energetic, cheeky, and lovable pets that can make wonderful additions to any family. They are lively and playful and enjoy regular exercise to fully express themselves. As a breed, they are known to be particularly loyal and protective of their people. Dachshunds may be a little stubborn at times and require patience and consistency when training. They need to be groomed regularly in order to maintain healthy skin and coat. Because of their elongated shape, they are susceptible to back problems and should not be allowed to jump up and down from furniture.
Dachshunds are not considered non-shedding, and they can be relatively heavy shedders. Their short hair, however, means that there will likely be less hair accumulation around the house when compared to longor medium-haired breeds. To reduce the amount of shedding, regular brushing and grooming is recommended. In addition, a balanced diet, plenty of exercise, and regular visits to the vet for check-ups and preventive treatments will help keep shedding in check.
Dachshunds should not be fed human food, as it is usually too high in fat and not balanced in nutrients for a dog's diet. Some dangerous foods for dogs to ingest are grapes, onions, chocolate, and anything with a lot of sugar or salt. Bones should never be given as they can splinter and cause choking or damage to the gastrointestinal tract. Belching or vomitting after eating a certain type of food may indicate a food intolerance and the pet should then be taken to the veterinarian for further testing.
Becoming the best puppy parent for a Dachshund starts with investing in the right supplies for your pup a comfy crate, collar and leash, and plenty of training snacks. Keeping your pup on a consistent and healthy diet is also important. Provide plenty of exercise and activities in order to meet your pup's needs for mental stimulation, socialization, and physical activity. Socializing your puppy is very important for their behavior development, so make sure to introduce them to new sights, sounds, and people in controlled environments as early and safely as possible.
Dachshunds may be considered a medium-sized breed of dog, but they can be considered big dogs, depending on perspective. They are typically small in height, growing up to around 9-12 inches, but can weigh between 16-32 pounds depending on the family line, giving them a larger presence than their short stature would suggest. The physical appearance of a Dachshund may lead some to assume their size is more diminutive than it actually is.
Dachshunds are generally known for having a high energy level and playful personality, proving them to be an active breed. In addition to their athletic nature, these dogs require daily physical exercise to remain healthy and happy. Walking, playing fetch, or running in your yard are all excellent ways to help your Dachshunds stay physically active. However, due to their short legs and long backs, extra precaution should be taken if your Dachshunds participate in higher-impact activities such as agility or flyball, as it could put additional strain on their spines.
Dachshunds are generally friendly and trusting with children, but individual personalities can vary. Most parents report that their Dachshunds are loving and patient with their children. Dachshunds are small, so supervision is recommended when they are interacting with smaller kids. Teaching children how to handle small dogs is also recommended. When properly socialized, a Dachshund can be an ideal family pet and make a wonderful companion for children. Just make sure that your family's expectations of the dog match the dog's energy and temperament.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience. It's important to establish a consistent approach that your dog can learn from, so that they understand what it is they are supposed to do. Start by showing your Dachshund that you are in charge by using commands such as ' sit' and 'no'. Provide praise and reward your Dachshund with treats or verbal praise when they obey your commands. Practice commands in multiple settings, such as indoors and outdoors, to ensure that your Dachshund continues learning and obeying.
