Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are perhaps one of the most interesting breeds of dog, as they offer a unique combination of characteristics. They are loyal and enthusiastic, often quite active but also known for being lazy, lively but can also be quite stubborn. In addition, they are intelligent, extremely sociable and love to be near their owners. Perhaps most interestingly, Dachshunds are also incredibly versatile! Their short legs allow them to move through tight and difficult spaces that other breeds cannot go through, and their impressive noses can track down almost any kind of scent.
Dachshunds are generally considered to be low shed dogs, meaning that they do not tend to shed as drastically as other breeds. However, despite their low or minimal shedding tendencies, Dachshunds can still shed enough to create a noticeable amount of excess hair around the house. Also, due to their short hair coat, Dachshunds do tend to retain dead skin, dirt, dead hair, and other debris that has the potential to be spread throughout your home.
Dachshunds are relatively healthy dogs and do not usually have many special dietary needs. However, due to their unique physicality, Dachshunds can benefit from certain dietary components. As a breed they are prone to digestive issues, so an easily digested, highly nutritious diet is optimal. Additionally, Dachshunds often experience spinal issues, so providing extra Vitamin D, fatty acids, and protein in their diet can help support healthy joints and strengthen their musculoskeletal system.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special requirements which need to be taken into consideration when caring for them. They have a long body and short legs which means they are predisposed to conditions such as a slipped disc. This can be prevented by avoiding injury or over exercise. Providing a supportive bed for them to sleep on can also help to prevent this condition. Dachshunds are also prone to dental disease, so it's important to provide regular dental hygiene such as brushing with a specifically designed canine toothbrush.
Dachshunds typically reach an adult size of 9 to 12 inches tall and between 6 to 12 pounds in weight. Depending on their breed variety, some doxies are considered to be standard-size and others are miniature. Generally, it takes a full year for them to reach their full adult size; however, don’t forget to factor in their distinct “weiner dog” shape, which makes them appear larger or smaller based on their posture. Furthermore, male Dachshunds typically weigh more than females.
Many Dachshunds do indeed love to swim! This playful breed loves to exercise, so it can be a great opportunity for them to cool off and have some fun. In fact, some Dachshunds even take pleasure in jumping in water and may even do so on their own initiative! However, not all Dachshunds are built for swimming, as their relatively short legs can make it a bit more difficult for them to paddle. For these dogs, swimming can also be a bit overwhelming, as water can cover their face and impede their ability to breathe.
Dachshunds have a very loyal and playful nature that tends to help them bond well with other pets. Generally, Dachshunds are sociable and can get along well with other animals in the house, if they are introduced properly and given enough time to get used to one another. If properly socialized, Dachshunds will become close with other pets, especially if they are raised together and are exposed to different people and environments from an early age.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience, though it is not the easiest breed to work with. Patience, routine, and consistency on the owner's part are important elements in training a Dachshund, particularly in teaching them basic commands. They can be stubborn at times, so having positive reinforcement at the ready can be beneficial. It is recommended to start training a Dachshund early in their life, as the more consistent you are the better results you will have.
