Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a truly interesting breed of dog, as they are small but have big personalities. They are also extremely intelligent, which can be seen in their ability to learn commands quickly. Interestingly, they have been bred for centuries to hunt badgers, so they have a bold spirit and are naturally alert and courageous. Additionally, their long bodies make them well adapted to the task of burrowing underground, allowing them to quickly pursue their prey.
Managing allergies with Dachshunds is possible, when proper precautions are taken. First, it is important to ensure that the environment is kept as allergen-free as possible. Vacuum frequently, bathe your Dachshund regularly, and consider a hypoallergenic shampoo. Additionally, try to remove as much dust and pet dander from the home as possible. Additionally, you should wear a mask and gloves while grooming to help prevent lung and skin irritation.
Dachshunds should never be fed chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, nuts, or any food with a high-fat content as these can all be toxic to the breed. Owners should also be mindful of any bone fragments that may be hidden in canned or dry dog foods. Bones can easily splinter in a Dachshund's digestive system, so it is important to check that no small pieces are present before feeding.
To become the best possible puppy parent for your Dachshund, start with some research. Understand the breed and characteristics of Dachshund puppies, such as their need for exercise, active play, socialization, and training. Provide your puppy with a safe, secure environment and consistent boundaries. Establish a routine that your pup can count on, establishing regular mealtimes, potty breaks, playtime, and opportunities for affection, and uphold it consistently. Spend quality time together to foster a deep bond and enroll your pup in an obedience class.
Absolutely, Dachshunds are considered a small breed of dog. They typically weigh between 11-32 pounds and stand from 8-9 inches tall. While the breed can vary in size, they maintain a generally compact demeanor with their long but relatively thin bodies and short legs. Dachshunds may not be as small as a Chihuahua, but they are among the ranks of the smaller companion dogs.
Dachshunds can be a very active breed, depending on the individual. With a combination of their keen intelligence, strength, and stamina, Dachshunds can keep up with their real-life characters that hunt and explore, if they are given the opportunity to do so. While their short stubby legs don't appear to hold much endurance, they are actually surprisingly speedy and can process complex obstacle courses. In addition, daily walks and frequent playtime are key to channeling their energy, while stimulating their minds.
Absolutely, Dachshunds make incredible family dogs! Their loyal and loving nature makes them a wonderful companion for kids and adults alike. Not only do Dachshunds harbor intense affection and loyalty with their families, but they are also highly intelligent and eager to please, making them incredibly easy to train. Dachshunds truly thrive in the company of their families and they'll provide unconditional loving companionship for years to come. Of course, Dachshunds need ample exercise and plenty of mental stimulation to remain healthy, happy, and balanced.
Training a Dachshund can be rewarding, but requires patience and consistency. Start with teaching basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, come and heel. Proper use of rewards and consistent reinforcement will help keep the Dachshund's attention, and provide motivation in the training process. Beyond basic obedience, it is important to create a routine and establish acceptable behaviors. The crate can be an effective tool to provide a safe space and establish boundaries. Socialization is also key with any breed, and makes the introduction of new people and environments more pleasant.
