Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a popular pet breed known for their long bodies, short legs, and trademark bark! They were originally bred in Germany to hunt badgers and other small animals, but today they’re just as likely to be found lounging on the couch with their owners. Dachshunds are actually considered to be one of the most intelligent dog breeds, and they also enjoy great longevity. On average, a healthy Dachshund can live up to 14 years, so they can be a great companion for many years.
Dachshunds have a characteristic coat comprised of short, thick fur that is often described as velvety. It can range from smooth and shiny to wiry and slightly harsher in texture. The breed usually comes with two varieties of coats which include a short-haired variety that requires minimal grooming, and the long-haired coat, which is slightly more high-maintenance and requires additional brushing and combing to prevent mats and tangles. The breed's coat is commonly reddish-brown, black and tan, or even a mix of colors.
Dachshunds are a breed of dog that can eat a variety of different foods. They typically eat a combination of high-quality dry foods marketed for small breed dogs, as well as occasional fresh, cooked meats and veggies. It's best to give any Dachshund a balanced, high-quality diet in order to ensure proper growth and development. All food should be age-appropriate, with younger Dachshunds requiring a higher content of proteins and fats than those that are older. For treats, there are many healthy, commercially-available options.
Yes, Dachshunds have special requirements that owners should be aware of. Dachshunds can be quite active and require frequent play and exercise in order to stay healthy and well-behaved. They are also prone to obesity, so careful monitoring of their food intake and portion sizes is essential. As a long-backed breed, Dachshunds are prone to intervertebral disc disease, so providing a supportive bed and avoiding activities that involve sudden jumping is important.
Dachshunds typically come in three distinct sizes--standard, miniature, and kaninchen. The standard size Dachshund is usually 16-32 pounds and anywhere between 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder, although some grow slightly taller. Miniature Dachshunds weigh 11 pounds or less and usually are no taller than 5-6 inches at the shoulder. The smallest size, kaninchen, weigh no more than 8 pounds and are less than 5 inches in height.
While it is generally not recommended, yes, you can take your Dachshund running. However, if you do so it is important to keep in mind that exercise should be limited and always stopped if your Dachshund shows signs of fatigue. It is also important to keep in mind that your Dachshund needs ample rest both prior to and after the exercise. Talk to your vet about appropriate amounts of running time for your particular pet; some may need more rest than others.
Dachshunds can make wonderful family pets, especially when it comes to being around kids. Generally, these dogs are friendly, loving, and affectionate, and they make excellent additions to any family. With their small size and playful personality, Dachshunds often crave the attention of children, and they typically get along with all members of a household. They are also intelligent, meaning proper training can help ensure they understand and respect the boundaries of early childhood development.
It depends on the age of the dachshund and what you hope to achieve through training. For basic obedience, two to three 15-minute sessions per day is usually recommended. More advanced training may require up to 30 minutes a day. Puppies should have no more than ten minutes of training per day, as they tire more easily and tend to be more easily distracted. A longer walk is better, as stimulation is important. Yearly checkups with your veterinarian can also help keep your dachshund healthy and well-behaved.
