Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are known for being incredibly loyal and devoted companions. They have an interesting origin story, as they were originally bred to hunt badgers in Germany. Dachshunds come in two sizes standard and miniature, and there are three varieties of coats smooth, long, and wirehaired. They also come in an impressive variety of colors including black, white, brown, cream, and red.
No, Dachshunds are not a non-shedding breed. Their coats tend to vary, but they all have a double coat; a short, thick undercoat and a topcoat, which can be wire-haired, smooth-haired, or longhaired. This double coat will shed year-round and experience heavier shedding during spring and autumn. There are some maintenance steps that can be taken to minimize the amount of shedding, such as regular grooming and brushing to remove dead fur and also supplementing a moist diet with daily oral supplements like fish or flaxseed oil.
Dachshunds are often small, but they have hearty appetites and need a balanced diet to stay healthy. A good diet for a Dachshund should include a variety of foods including high-quality dry and wet kibble, fresh vegetables and fruits, and small amounts of lean meat, eggs, and dairy products. Make sure to avoid table scraps and limit human snacks and treats. Also, watch for signs of weight problems and adjust their diet as needed. Proper nutrition is important for these active companion dogs and will ensure high energy levels and optimal health.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires dedication, responsibility, and quality time. The best way to ensure you are being the best pup parent possible is to do your research. Learn all you can about Dachshunds and their specific needs. The more you know about this breed, the better you can provide care and support. Establish a routine, including regular potty breaks, daily walks, and interactive play. It's also important to meet your pup's socialization needs and provide proper nutrition.
Dachshunds are considered a 'standard' size breed, which typically stand between 8 and 9 inches tall at the shoulder and can weigh anywhere from 16 to 32 pounds. They come in two varieties: standard and miniature, each with their own size range. Standard Dachshunds can range from 9 to 18 inches at the shoulder and weigh in between 16 and 32 pounds, while miniature Dachshunds range from 5 to 7 inches tall and generally weigh between 8 and 11 pounds. Both varieties are known for being playful and fiercely loyal companions.
It is possible to take a Dachshund running, but it should be done with caution. In order to avoid strain on their legs and spine, a Dachshund's running should be limited to shorter distances and shorter sessions and only with your veterinarian's approval. Running with a Dachshund should be done with caution and only on even, soft ground, such as grass. Avoid running with them on hard surfaces, such as concrete, which can cause wear and tear on their joints.
Dachshunds can generally get along well with other pets. Socialization is key in helping them adjust to living with another pet in the house, but they have a reputation for being quite independent. Generally they may not become best buddies with other animals, but they can learn to exist peacefully and respectfully with them. It is important to provide them with early and frequent exposure to other pets, so they can become used to this new presence in their territory. This helps them learn to get along and avoid conflicts.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience when approached in the right way. Generally, Dachshunds are intelligent and eager to please their owners, which are great qualities for training purposes. While your Dachshund may quickly learn basic commands such as 'sit', 'stay' and 'heel', they may require more patience and effort to learn difficult commands. It is important to remain consistent with their training and stay positive to ensure they learn quickly and continue to stay motivated.
