Questions & Answers
Dachshunds belong to the Hound dog group, which is one of the seven categories used by the American Kennel Club (AKC) to categorize dogs. With long bodies, short legs, and long snouts, Dachshunds are often referred to as "Sausage Dogs," and they come in a variety of colors, sizes, and varieties. Though they're small, they have larger-than-life personalities and are known for being loyal companions. They are great hunters, as their impressive sense of smell helps them to root out pests.
The Dachshund coat is typically short, dense, and glossy. They usually have a smooth, sleek feel to the touch and can come in a variety of colors including black, brown, tan, red, and various shades of grey. This breed's coat helps them build an insulated layer in colder climates. Regular brushing is recommended in order to maintain their signature look and get rid of loose hair and dirt. Baths are also necessary as needed, especially if they spend a lot of time outdoors or playing in the dirt.
Dachshunds should not be fed high-fat or higher-protein foods, as these can easily cause digestive problems and could even lead to health issues down the line. Similarly, it's best to avoid giving Dachshunds cooked bones, such as chicken bones, as they can splinter and cause obstruction. And while many dogs love fruit and vegetables, some fruits and vegetables are harmful for Dachshunds and should be avoided, such as grapes, raisins, onions, leeks, or garlic.
Dachshunds tend to require some unique considerations that owners should be aware of. As a smaller breed, Dachshunds can be easily injured if allowed to jump off couches, beds, and stairs, because they do not have the same cushioning as larger breeds. Owners should also be mindful of the Dachshund’s weight, as this breed is prone to obesity if not given proper exercise and a controlled diet. Having an appropriate exercise routine and providing chewing toys can help keep Dachshunds mentally stimulated.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. The Dachshund breed ranges between 11 and 32 pounds, depending on the variety, and typically stands between 8 and 9 inches tall. Additionally, there are two distinct varieties of the breed, separated by size. The standard Dachshunds range anywhere from 16-32 pounds and 11-12 inches tall, while miniature Dachshunds will usually weigh between 11 and 16 pounds and measure 8-9 inches tall.
Yes, Dachshunds are quite active dogs. They have full of energy and love to run around and explore. That said, these dogs still need daily exercise to stay healthy. Mental stimulation is also important, as they are an alert breed that is known for their intelligence. So although this breed is well-suited for city living, it is important to provide them with lots of activity, whether that's running, playing games or even long walks. Dachshunds are also likely to enjoy canine sports such as agility, or just chasing a ball in the family's backyard.
Dachshunds are usually excellent with kids because they are typically active and loyal, with lots of affection to share. Their small size also means they won't be too intimidating for children. Most Dachshunds enjoy being around people, especially those they're familiar with, so they can form strong attachments with family members of all ages. These dogs often have an innate sense of protection for their families and tend to watch over youngsters as if they were their own. At the same time, they need to be taught proper boundaries to ensure good behavior.
Training a Dachshund can be a challenge, but it is certainly not impossible. Dachshunds are known for their intelligence and other characteristics that make them able to be trained to obey commands. With patience and consistency, an owner can teach a dachshund basic commands and potty training cues. Positive reinforcement and rewards are essential, as is providing a clear structure and consistent messages from their human. Training a Dachshund requires effort and dedication, but most owners will find that, with the right reward-based approach, it is not particularly difficult.
