Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are nothing short of fascinating! Not only are they incredibly loyal and intelligent companions, but their long body and short legs make them an adorable sight to behold. Their long history dates all the way back to the 16th century where they were bred to hunt badgers! They also come in a variety of colors and might even have the occasional dapple pattern in their fur. Dachshunds also have great dexterity, which means they can crawl into small spaces in search of prey.
The Dachshund coat is a double coat consisting of an outer coat, better known as a guard coat, and an inner coat, also known as an undercoat. The coat of a Dachshund can come in a variety of colors, ranging from a light colored cream to a dark black and tan. The texture of the coat tends to be short and smooth and is slightly wiry. The most common coat length for a Dachshund is the short-haired coat, although there are also long-haired coats.
Dachshunds are a small breed of dog and have different nutritional needs than larger breeds. As such, they should avoid eating any food that may be hazardous to their health, such as dairy, onions, grapes, raisins, garlic, and avocado. Additionally, table scraps, bones, candy, chocolate, and greasy foods are not recommended for Dachshunds. Be sure to provide them with a balanced, nutritious diet tailored to their size, and an occasional treat is okay, as long as it is healthy and given in moderation.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires dedication, time, and resources. To get started, research the breed and fully understand their exercise needs, personality traits, and health concerns. Spend as much time as possible with your pup by playing with them and talking to them. Offer lots of praise and rewards when they do something right. Prepare a safe environment for them in your home, removing any items that can be taken or chewed on. Develop a routine and use positive reinforcement when training them, and remember to always be patient and consistent.
Dachshunds, while small compared to breeds like Mastiff, may be considered "big" dogs when weighing up their personalities. Dachshunds are known for having a curled tail and small, compact body, but they also have a large, bold character. They are very protective of their family and loyal to their owners. They are tough and spunky and not afraid to take on big dogs double their size. So in terms of their attitude and protective nature, Dachshunds are definitely big dogs, making them great companions for their owners.
To determine how many minutes per day your Dachshund should walk, consider its age, size, and energy level. Puppies and senior dogs will not need the same amount of exercise as adult Dachshunds. Generally speaking, longer, brisk walks of 10-20 minutes each, two to three times daily is a good start. If your Dachshund enjoys long walks and has the stamina for it, you can increase the amount of time and intensity by adding in some jogging and/or hikes.
Yes, Dachshunds can be good with kids if both have been socialized correctly. As with any breed, proper introduction and training are important for all dogs and children to get along. Because of their size and long backs, dachshunds do better with older, more gentle children. However, when raised correctly, these unique little dogs will bond with family members and can become very trusting and loving. They also retain their playful personalities, and can be a great companion for a child.
Training a Dachshund can be both easy and difficult, depending on several factors. With patience and consistency, achieving obedience behaviors and socialization with others typically comes relatively quickly for pups, as the breed is eager to please. However, some Dachshunds can be quite stubborn and willful due to their independent nature, and further effort and professional help may be needed to reinforce desired behaviors. If given proper exercise and mental stimulation, a Dachshund can excel with training and become a well-behaved and enjoyable companion.
