Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, sometimes also called 'weenies' or 'sausage dogs', were bred specifically to hunt badger and other small mammals underground! They have an incredible sense of smell, making them excellent trackers. They love to burrow and stay in 'safe places'. The breed's name literally translates to 'badger dog', and it’s still used for the same purpose today. They also come in three different sizes: standard, miniature, and toy.
Whether or not you will experience allergic reactions as a result of owning a Dachshund largely depends on the individual. All breeds of dogs produce dander and saliva, which can cause or worsen allergic symptoms in some people. However, individual Dachshunds may produce more dander or saliva than others. It's important to note that even non-shedding dogs such as Dachshunds may still cause allergy-related reactions. It's therefore advisable to spend time with a few different Dachshunds before committing yourself to owning one.
The best dog food for Dachshunds depends on a few things. Firstly, consider your pup’s age and activity level as this should be taken into account when choosing a food. Secondly, you have to think about what kind of food best suits your Dachshund's specific nutritional needs. If your pup is an active adult, look for a food high in protein, low in fat, with omega fatty acids that promote healthy skin and coat.
Preparing your home for your new Dachshund is an important step. First, make sure that your home is safe and secure, with the entrance securely latched to avoid any escape attempts. Then create areas in the home that are welcoming and comforting to the pup. Invest in some comfy beds and blankets and dedicate a special play area if possible. Provide plenty of chew toys but be sure to store them away when the pup is not occupying the area to avoid potential choking hazards. Create an area for food and water bowls with some tasty canine treats.
Dachshunds are indeed considered to be small dogs as they usually weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. According to the American Kennel Club, they fall into the category of small-sized dogs. While Dachshunds are small in stature, they are quite strong and known for their endurance and lively spirit. They have a long slender body and are often referred to as 'sausage dogs' or 'wiener dogs' due to their size and shape. Dachshunds are cheerful and curious dogs that do best with daily exercise and mental stimulation.
Dachshunds are an active breed, who need regular exercise to stay healthy and happy. Generally, between thirty minutes and two hours of exercise per day is recommended, depending on the age and activity level of the individual Dachshund. It's important to keep in mind that Dachshunds are known for having back problems, so jumping or running up and down stairs should be avoided. Instead, opt for longer walks on flat surfaces or occasional playtime indoors; swimming is also a great activity for Dachshunds with strong joints.
Dachshunds are often affectionately referred to as "weiner dogs" due to their long, slender bodies. But despite their size, Dachshunds are generally good family dogs. They make excellent companions for single adults, couples, and families, with both children and other pets. Their spunky personalities and loyalty to their owners make them wonderful, devoted family members. Dachshunds are intelligent and usually easy to train, so they are enjoyable to have while teaching kids about responsibility.
Training a Dachshund can be easy, depending on how quickly your pup catches on. Of course, individual personalities and intelligence levels can vary within any breed, so it's possible that at least some obedience instruction will be necessary for most Dachshunds. Generally, Dachshunds are relatively intelligent and eager to please their owners, which should make it relatively easy to work with them.
