The Dachshund, also known as the Hog Badger, is a hunting dog with short limbs and a long body, native to Germany. Generally speaking, the Dachshund is around 18-25 centimeters tall and weighs around 9-12 kilograms. It has a relatively long life span, usually around 15-18 years. Of course it will live a long life, up to 20-22 years, so why is it called Dachshund? It's also because it resembles a sausage, with dark brown hair and a long body that looks interesting, but why do so few people keep it? This you don't necessarily know, I'll answer for you~
Dachshunds don't like to be overly tied down because of their hound nature, but the code sent out by the pet owner will still be completed perfectly. In fact, if you want to be serious, Dachshunds are still relatively easy to raise, but after actually raising them, pet owners will find them still difficult to raise.
1. If it is a puppy, pet owners need to spend a lot of energy and time. Puppies need to be fed regularly every day, so they must be taken care of by a person or persons, while adult dachshunds not only need careful care, but also need to groom and clean Regularly, but it should still be within the acceptable range for those who need to have a dog.
2. The Dachshund is a type of hunting dog. It is very agile, powerful and energetic in its movements and behavior. Therefore, it is important for pet owners to spend time exercising with it to burn off its excess energy. Code train it at home every day and take it out for a walk in the evening or morning to see the outside scenery. One thing that requires special attention is that Dachshunds are prone to obesity. If they are accidentally fed too much they can gain weight. Obesity is a huge threat to a dog's health. Obese dogs are also prone to illness. Be sure to control the amount of food you feed your dachshund.
3. Since Dachshunds also have a low chassis, somewhat similar to a short-legged Corgi, they are prone to soiling the fur near their abdomen. At this time, pet owners should clean it up or tie a bib for it to protect it. It has clean hair.
4. Daily maintenance is absolutely essential. Some lazy pet owners should not be lazy in these things. While breastfeeding, you also need to take them to the pet hospital regularly for body checkups to observe their physical condition and vaccinations. Meanwhile, internal and external deworming measures should also be taken.
So after understanding the above points of knowledge, I first summarized the following points of attention, I believe it is still helpful to raise Dachshunds:
(1) Communication is the first priority. Daily training and communication can also promote an emotional bond between pet owners and their dogs.
(2) Diet should be rationed. Sausages that are easily fattened cannot be fed too much. Once weight is gained, it will lead to various diseases.
Dachshunds are still very popular, but due to some bad habits brought about by their own nature, they can't be made to like them more, but the right training methods and the wholeheartedness of the pet owner can definitely cope with it!
