Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are known for their undeniably unique look and their spunky personalities, but one of the most interesting facts about this breed is that the original purpose of the Dachshund was to hunt badgers and other burrowing animals. The low-riding body and long snout of the Dachshund give it the perfect shape and length to pursue and dig after small animals. As a result, the Dachshund's brave temperament and obedient nature makes it an excellent hunter-dog.
It is possible for dachshunds to cause pet owners to suffer from allergies, but not all individuals will react to the same degree. Allergens that cause problems can come from pet saliva, urine, dander and fur. If you have pet allergies, the best way to determine if a dachshund is the right pet for you is to spend time with one and see how your body reacts.
Dachshunds are a small breed of dog and should be fed a balanced, grain-free diet that consists of high-quality proteins, fresh vegetables, and essential vitamins and minerals. Dry kibble is usually a good starting point and can be supplemented with finely chopped cooked meat or canned food. Fresh fruits like apples, bananas, or berries can also be fed in small amounts as occasional treats. As with all breeds of dog, owners should be careful to follow label directions on food packaging to ensure proper nutrition. Fresh water should also be available at all times.
To become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, it is important to provide your pup with plenty of love and attention, make sure they get regular exercise to stay healthy, keep them on a consistent schedule for potty training and socialization and, most importantly, show patience and remain calm when addressing any potential behavioral issues. In addition, it’s important to stay up-to-date on your pup’s vet visits and vaccinations, feed them a healthy diet, and provide lots of positive reinforcement and lots of toys to exercise their minds and bodies.
