Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small breed of hound with long legs and a short body that comes in both a standard and miniature size. Dachshunds are social animals that enjoy being around their owners and playing with other dogs. They are loyal and intelligent, and tend to have an even temper. The breed has a strong prey drive and loves going on walks and exploring new terrain or running around an enclosed backyard safely. They usually tend to bark quite a bit, which is why training them from a young age is important.
Dachshunds are not known for being completely non-shedding, but they do typically have low maintenance coats that don't require a great deal of grooming. While some Dachshunds may have a tendency to shed less, there is no guarantee that a Dachshund will be completely non-shedding. The amount of shedding depends upon the individual care and lifestyle of the dog, as well as coat type and color. Regular brushing will help to reduce shedding and help maintain a healthy coat.
Dachshunds are social, energetic dogs that are known for their courage and intelligence. As such, they require an appropriate diet which should include protein from both animal and vegetable sources, essential fatty acids, complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Commercially prepared diets are widely available but pet owners should be mindful of the quality of ingredients included. It's also important to provide access to fresh, clean water at all times.
It is very important to prepare for welcoming a new Dachshund into the family. First, you should ensure that you have the necessary supplies such as a collar, bed, toys, and food. Additionally, it is beneficial to research the breed beforehand, learning about their personality traits and health related issues. Furthermore, it is beneficial to check if the Dachshund is up to date on all necessary vaccinations and to create a schedule for periodic check-ups.
Dachshunds come in 3 sizes: Standard, Miniature, and Kaninchen (or Rabbit). Standard Dachshunds weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, stand between 8 and 9 inches at the shoulder, and usually have short-haired, longhaired, or wirehaired coats. Miniature Dachshunds are the most popular size and weigh between 11 and 16 pounds, stand 5 to 6 inches tall at the shoulder, and usually have short-haired, longhaired, or wirehaired coats.
While some dogs love to swim, Dachshunds have a somewhat complicated relationship with water. Their long backs can often cause swimming to be uncomfortable, and if they did decide to go for a dip, their short legs wouldn't make for great propulsion in the water. Furthermore, due to their thick fur and tendency to obsessively groom themselves, a Dachshund in water might have trouble drying off properly, which could further dampen their enthusiasm.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are wonderful family dogs! They are very loyal and make great companions, and with the right training and environment they can be great around children. Dachshunds are also very social, so they enjoy nothing more than relaxing and hanging out with their family. Unlike many other breeds, Dachshunds are also famously low maintenance, so they're great for busy families or those with limited space. Last but not least, they make great watchdogs and are always happy to defend their family.
The amount of time needed to train Dachshunds can vary significantly depending on your particular goals and objectives. Generally speaking, however, it is recommended that you dedicate a minimum of 30 minutes each day to training. This would include both basic skills and any desired advanced commands. Including opportunities for playtime and additional exercises that encourage good behavior can also have a positive impact on the success of training. Consistency is also key, as making sure your sessions are regularly spaced and occur around the same time each day will keep them attentive and help establish stronger patterns of learning.
