Questions & Answers
Dachshunds belong to the Hound Group of dogs and are known for being very tenacious and brave. These active little dogs have a reputation for being independent and are often used in hunting and tracking. As stated by the American Kennel Club, Dachshunds can be divided into two distinct categories: standard and miniature. Due to their long backs, short legs, barrels of energy, and devotion, they were named the national dog of Germany in 1937.
No, dachshunds unfortunately are not non-shedding. All mammals with fur or hair shed some amount of hair occasionally. The amount of hair that dachshunds will shed will vary greatly from individual to individual, however as a general rule of thumb, most dachshunds shed relatively heavily all throughout the year with two or three shedding peaks that are more intense. The lighter the coat, the more dropping will occur and since most dachshunds have long, short coats, their shedding will be rather noticeable.
The best dog food for Dachshunds depends on the individual pup's age, activity level, and any other health considerations relevant to their breed. Generally speaking, Dachshunds require a food that is low in fat, with recipes that are specifically designed to provide the best nutrition possible for these pups. Look for a diet that provides lots of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to maintain their health and help keep their coats shiny and smooth. Additionally, a species appropriate balance of protein, fats, and carbohydrates is important for your Dachshund's overall health.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund starts with understanding and meeting their needs. To do this, ensure they receive adequate exercise every day by taking them on walks, hikes, or to the park to play. Additionally, provide positive reinforcement and praise when they follow commands or behave appropriately. Feed your puppy a nutritious diet that prioritizes their specific breed necessities, and make sure all their vaccinations and check-ups are up-to-date. By providing a calm, secure environment with positive reinforcement, your pup will become accustomed to house training and forming good habits.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: the standard or "Classic" size, and the miniature size. The standard size Dachshund is typically around 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs approximately 16-32 pounds. The miniature Dachshund is typically 5-6 inches tall and weighs 11 pounds or less. Color and coat type vary, but each type of Dachshund generally has the same body shape. A standard Dachshund can be a single-coat or double-coat, while the miniature will typically only come in a single-coat.
While every Dachshund is different, many of them enjoy swimming. While some Dachshunds don't show an affinity for the water, some take to it immediately. When swimming, Dachshunds tend to paddle strongly with their short legs, giving them a unique underwater look. Since they have such short legs and long bodies, they don't really "dog paddle" like other dogs and instead have a very 'dachshund-like' swimming pattern.
Dachshunds are a great choice for families. Not only are these dogs hardy and relatively low-maintenance due to their size, they also bring a lot of joy and companionship. Dachshunds typically have friendly personalities and are often eager to please their owners. Owners should prepare for a high-energy, sharp-witted pup that loves adventuring and playing. They also tend to be fiercely loyal, loving members of the family. Dachshunds are smart, and although they may take some time to train, they can learn a variety of tricks.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered to be quite smart dogs. Their intelligence allows them to learn tasks as well as tricks quickly. They are very proficient in solving puzzles and are even capable of solving simple problems of their own when given the opportunity. Dachshunds are also highly adaptive and can make quick decisions, such as recognizing danger or learning from past experiences. In addition, their drive and obedience makes them a great choice for even the most challenging of training regimens.
