Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also known as "Weiner Dogs," are fun-loving, loyal, and intelligent dogs. They are highly versatile, able to perform many different tasks. From being great family pets to excel in hunting, Dachshunds can do it all. They make excellent watchdogs and do very well in agility and other canine sports. Their overall size makes them perfect for apartment or city living, while their confident and affectionate personality allows them to make excellent companions.
Although different people have different allergies and sensitivities, the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology states that there is no scientific evidence that suggests dachshunds cause allergies. Dander, which can cause allergic reactions, comes from a pet's saliva, urine, and dead skin cells, not the breed of the animal itself. Additionally, regular grooming activities can help reduce the amount of dander that accumulates. Therefore, with proper care, owning a dachshund should not cause allergies.
Dachshunds are medium-sized dogs with unique dietary requirements. The best diet for a Dachshund will provide them with the proper balance of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, fats, and other nutrients that are essential for keeping them in optimum health. It is recommended to feed your Dachshund a quality dry kibble food formula that is specifically designed for adult Dachshunds as well as wet food or canned food that is safe for these types of dogs.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special requirements to be kept healthy and happy. Most important is that they need proper exercise such as short but regular walks, as this breed is prone to intervertebral disc disease. They also require mentally-stimulating activities to prevent boredom, as this can lead to destructive behavior. Additionally, Dachshunds benefit from regular grooming, brushing, bathing, and nail clipping. Furthermore, since Dachshunds are very sensitive to changes in their environment due to their short stature, they tend to need more attention and care than other breeds.
Dachshunds are certainly compact in size, but this doesn't necessarily make them small dogs. In comparison to breeds like Great Danes or Mastiffs, Dachshunds may be considered small. However, due to their spunky and adventurous personalities, they can seem much larger than they actually are. Additionally, they're heavily built with short legs, so it makes sense why many may classify them as big dogs.
While there isn't a universal consensus on the matter, many Dachshund owners report that their beloved critters enjoy a swim from time to time. In particular, due to their short legs and body configuration, they are known to be quite aggressive paddlers and have an impressive capacity for staying afloat. But not all Dachshunds feel as comfortable in the water for some, the experience can induce fear or discomfort. It is therefore recommended to introduce swimming to your Dachshund gradually, giving them time to adjust to the feeling and getting them to build up confidence.
Dachshunds, with their playful and active personalities, tend to be great companions for children. They are loyal to their families and considered to be very devoted pets. As an energetic breed, they can provide hours of activity for kids and are typically well behaved when socialized at a young age. Provided they are trained properly and given lots of love and attention, Dachshunds can make excellent family pets. Kids should never be allowed to take on the responsibility of the pet alone.
Training your Dachshund should be a fun and rewarding experience for both of you. For the best results, it is important to establish yourself as a calm, consistent, and firm leader with clear expectations. It helps to begin with basic obedience commands including sit, stay, lie down and come. Use positive reinforcement such as treats or praise when your pup successfully completes a command. When working with your Dachshund, make sure to keep training sessions short and engaging in order that your pup doesn't become bored or overwhelmed.
