Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are unique and highly interesting dogs. They have a great sense of humor, with an amusing sense of adventure and curiosity that make them a joy to have around. They are also incredibly loyal, often becoming incredibly attached to their owners and families. Furthermore, their incredible stamina and strength mean that they are active and playful throughout the day, making them a perfect companion for people with an active lifestyle.
The Dachshund coat can vary depending on the type of Dachshund, but is most commonly short, smooth, and shiny. Particularly for Long-Haired Dachshunds, their coat tends to be on the longer side and can be light, fluffy, or even wiry, whereas Short-Haired Dachshunds tend to have a much denser, straight or slightly wavy coat. For both coats, their fur is low-shedding so minimal grooming is required to keep them looking sharp and healthy.
Dachshunds require a high quality diet to ensure they remain healthy. While there are a variety of commercial options available, you may want to consider carefully researching if an alternative homemade diet is most suitable for your furry friend. It should be composed of lean proteins such as cooked eggs, small amounts of chicken, fish or lean beef; whole grains such as brown rice, quinoa and oats; and vegetables like spinach, sweet potatoes, carrots, zucchini and pumpkin. If feeding raw food, ensure it is from a reputable source and follow a veterinary nutritionist's advice.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to make sure you have all the supplies needed to provide a safe and comfortable home and environment. At the very least, the dog will need a sturdy collar with an identification tag, dog bowl for food and water, leash, a crate, bedding, toys, grooming tools, waste bags, and a brush or comb. Additionally, it would be wise to invest in pet insurance, as well as a supply of heartworm prevention medication. Depending on the age of the dog, you may also need a puppy-specific food.
Dachshunds, otherwise known as wiener or sausage dogs, are small dogs. Their typical size generally ranges from 8 to 9 inches tall and weighing anywhere from 16 to 32 pounds. It's important to note, however, that there is quite a bit of variation in size. Some Dachshunds are larger while some may be smaller. As with any breed, proper nutrition and exercise is essential for maintaining good health. In general, Dachshunds are great for apartment living as they don't require too much space.
Dachshunds generally enjoy taking a dip in the water. This breed is often fond of activities that involve getting wet, especially when they are done in the company of their owners. While it is true that some owners have reported that their dachshunds loved swimming, this doesn't always extend to all members of the breed. Other Dachshunds take more convincing, some may fear the water, and some may seem uninterested altogether.
Dachshunds typically get along very well with other pets, particularly those in their own household. They are known as being very loyal to their family, so they tend to view other pets in the home as part of the pack. With proper socialization from a young age, and regular interaction with other pets, they generally accept and get along with other animals.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience, as these intelligent breeds love learning new things. To begin, it's important to set clear boundaries for your pup, such as where they are allowed to go and when they should follow commands. It also helps to provide consistent and positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise. Socialization and exposure to new environments are also beneficial. Establish a daily routine for your pup of activities, treats, sleep, potty breaks, and play. Start with simple commands, such as sit, stay, and come.
