Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have unique characteristics that make them a lot of fun. They are often referred to as "Doxies" or "Wiener Dogs" and have a natural hunting instinct. They are known for their amazingly cute and outgoing personality and often times can be found cuddled up with their owners. Physically, Dachshunds tend to have short legs that can lead to the old joke of them being able to "walk under a snake". They are also known for their unique variety of coat colors and patterns.
Dachshunds have short coats that are typically considered low-maintenance and easy to groom; however, shedding is common as they do have a double coat. High-shedding times occur twice a year, when the coat experiences seasonal shedding, and regular brushing and vacuuming is recommended to help keep shedding to a minimum. Although not completely non-shedding, careful brushing and vacuuming will help offset potential shedding.
Dachshunds typically eat a balanced diet of high quality food designed specifically for small-breed dogs. This may include dry kibble, wet canned food, or a combination of both. Some owners may also opt for a homemade diet for their pet. In general, the main sources of nutrients for dachshunds should come from lean proteins like chicken, fish, and beef, carbohydrates like sweet potatoes, brown rice, oatmeal, and grains, and healthy fats like olive oil and salmon oil.
An important step in preparing your home for a new Dachshund is ensuring it is a safe and secure place for them. Make sure there are no small objects or items that the puppy could potentially choke on. Your pup should have their own bed, food and water bowls, and toys. Designate a space in the house for them—try to make their space one that is near you. The next step is to puppy-proof the house. Block off any dangerous areas or assets that the puppy may try to get into.
Yes, Dachshunds are generally considered to be a small breed of dog. They have short legs, elongated bodies, and compact frames that make them appear small in size compared to other breeds. Dachshunds usually weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and stand 8-9 inches tall when fully grown, so they meet the criteria to be classed as a small dog. They possess a bold and spirited personality that belies their small stature, making them an appealing choice for many pet owners.
Generally speaking, your Dachshund should receive at least 30 minutes of physical activity and exercise per day. This can include walking, running, or playing in a securely-fenced area. However, it is important to think about your Dachshund's age, health conditions, and individual needs when determining how much exercise and how often they should receive it. For example, if your Dachshund is older, you may want to spread out the physical activity into two or three smaller, 15-minute segments to reduce the strain on their joints and muscles.
Absolutely! Dachshunds typically love the extra attention they get from children, and can be great companions. They are generally friendly and loyal, making them excellent pets for both adults and kids. However, because these little dogs are active and love to dig, they do require supervision. Teach your kids to be gentle when playing with them and they will surely become great friends. Dachshunds can even prove to be brave and protective when necessary but this varies dog to dog.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered relatively smart dogs. They are intelligent and show their wit through their ability to learn commands and tricks and also by their resourcefulness. They are known to be one of the most trainable breeds and solve puzzles with ease. In addition, their unique reasoning skills allow them to understand their owners’ expectations and follow it through. Furthermore, they are quick learners and could potentially learn more complex instructions with proper coaching. With their desire to please, they prefer to stay close to their owners and form strong emotional bonds.
