Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied dog of the hound family. It is believed to have originated in Germany in the sixteenth century. They were originally bred to scent, chase, and flush out badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals. Today, Dachshunds come in a variety of sizes and colors. There are three sizes standard, miniature, and “rabbit-size” with either a smooth, coarse-haired, or wire-haired coat.
Although Dachshunds are well known for their long and low bodies, they are not considered non-shedding. Regular grooming and brushing are necessary to reduce the amount of shedding. Dachshunds have a double coat and shed any time of year, but especially in the warmer months. If left unbrushed, their coats will become matted and tangled. If you adopt a Dachshund, make sure to brush them every other day. This will help reduce shedding, as well as maintain an overall healthier coat.
Dachshunds require a balanced diet like any other pet. Great sources of nutrition for these dogs include lean protein and healthy fats from meat, fish, and poultry, as well essential omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, and dietary supplements. Commercial dry food for Dachshunds is readily available, but their diet can also be supplemented with fresh human-grade foods such as cooked chicken, beef, and salmon.
To become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, it is essential to make sure they have everything to be healthy and happy. Spend time building a bond with your pup through plenty of walks or other activities together so that they can get to know you better and understand your commands. Provide them with a healthy and well-balanced diet to help them grow and thrive. Additionally, thoroughly research the breed to understand what type of grooming needs, training, and exercise they require. Consistency with training and reinforcement is key in teaching your pup the commands and behaviors expected of them.
Yes, Dachshunds are classified as small dogs. According to the American Kennel Club, the breed standard for Dachshunds states that they should have an ideal adult size of 16-32 pounds, depending on the variety, and they should not exceed 13 inches at the shoulder. While individuals may exceed these size restrictions and still be considered purebred, the general statement is that they are a small breed and stay small throughout their life.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running, however, it is important to consider their size and energy level before doing so. Dachshunds, also commonly known as "sausage dogs", are small and may not be able to keep up with your pace if you are an avid runner. If you don't want to leave them out, you could provide them with shorter jogs instead, or long walks so that they still get some exercise, but don't tire themselves out too quickly.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can get along with other pets if they are introduced properly and are given ample space. While Dachshunds can be quite territorial, socializing them properly at a young age can help to alleviate some of those tendencies. Additionally, providing them with a comfortable and stimulating environment with ample room to explore can help to encourage cooperation and acceptance between the Dachshund and other pets.
Training a Dachshund is essential for a successful owner-dog relationship. First, be sure to keep an understanding and loving attitude towards your Dachshund throughout the training process. Start with the basics, like teaching them to sit, come when called, and stay in place. Praise and positive reinforcement should be used for good behavior, while punishing bad behavior should be avoided to prevent biting and yelping. Consistency is also key; do not make sudden changes or be erratic because your Dachshund will become confused and unresponsive.
