Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a unique breed of canine that originated in Germany in the 16th century. Distinguished by its short-legged stature and elongated body of a sausage, this breed is affectionately referred to as the 'teckel' or 'sausage dog' in German. Its long body size makes it a sought-after breed for burrowing and hunting badgers and of course for companionship purposes. Their coats vary in colors such as red, black, tan, or a combination of the three.
Dachshunds are not considered to be non-shedding dogs, but they can be light shedders. Proper grooming and regular brushing can significantly lessen the amount of shedding. While the smooth-coated Dachshund generally sheds less than the wire-haired variety, they still require regular brushing. Dachshunds should be professionally groomed every 6 to 8 weeks, and brushing in-between to help reduce shedding. With consistent care from their owners, Dachshunds can be relatively low-shedding.
Dachshunds may be small, pudgy dogs with adorable droopy ears, but they require a specialized diet tailored to their specific needs. As such, there are certain foods that should never be fed to a Dachshund, as they can cause health problems, including obesity, gastrointestinal distress, and food allergies. It’s best to always steer clear of specific human food items. These include sugary and high-fat foods such as chips, candy, cakes, doughnuts, ice cream, fatty meats, and processed meats.
Creating a welcoming home for your new Dachshund is essential! Firstly, be sure to puppy-proof your home to make sure it is safe for your pup. Block off any potential hazards like cords and electrical outlets, and ensure that they don't have access to any toxic cleaners or hazardous objects. Secondly, get yourself the essential supplies your pup may need: an appropriate bed, food bowls, some toys, and a collar with identification and a leash. Finally, provide your pup with plenty of love and attention and make sure to be patient when they are learning.
Dachshunds come in standard and miniature sizes. Standard Dachshunds generally weigh 16-32 pounds and stand 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder, while miniature Dachshunds typically weigh 11 pounds or less and measure up to 5 inches in height. There is also a "tweenie," which falls somewhere in the middle at 11-16 pounds and 5-7 inches in height. All three sizes exist in both longhaired and shorthaired varieties.
Many Dachshunds do enjoy swimming since it presents them with an exciting and rewarding challenge. Swimming is not only great exercise for the breed, but it also affords them the opportunity to experience the great outdoors. Dachshunds have short legs, so a good floatation device like a life vest is an excellent way to provide them with a sense of safety and confidence while they explore the water.
Dachshunds are known to be loyal and intelligent companions, and often make great family members due to their capacity for attachment and affection. As far as kids, while Dachshunds are known for their more independent personalities, they can still make affectionate and loyal pets, and can bond with children if given the attention and time needed. It should be noted, however, that due to their small size they may not be able to withstand rough play, so they may be better suited for a household with children past the toddler stage.
The amount of time needed to train a Dachshund will largely depend on the specific training goals, the experience of the dog, and the individual temperament of the dog. Generally, you will need to dedicate at least 10 20 minutes a day to training your Dachshund. It is important to keep the sessions short and sweet with plenty of praises and treats. It is also important to keep the sessions consistent and take regular breaks so your Dachshund doesn’t get bored.
