Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, often referred to as “sausage dogs” because of their small size and elongated body shape, are a very popular breed of dog. Dachshunds hail from Germany and are famous for their prodigious hunting skills. They are intelligent and affectionate, making them great pets for families. Dachshunds can live up to 15 years, and should be groomed regularly. They are also quite rambunctious and active dogs, so they require regular exercise.
The Dachshund coat is short, smooth, and shiny. It mainly consists of a single layer of dense hairs that protect the dog from elements like rain and cold. Depending on the breed, colors range from yellows, reds, various shades of brown, or even black and chocolate. Generally, Dachshunds with wirehaired coats have specific criteria to adhere to, such as a topcoat of harsh, wiry, and thick hair and harshness in texture, as well as a protective undercoat.
Yes, Dachshunds have particular dietary needs. As a deep-chested breed of dog, they're prone to bloat, so it's best to give them several smaller meals throughout the day, rather than one large meal. Also, Dachshunds should avoid foods high in sugars and starches, as these can contribute to health problems like kidney disease, diabetes, and obesity. Instead, feed them a diet that's high in proteins and low in fat content.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is an exciting task! You should first consider the safety of the pup when it arrives. Make sure any potentially dangerous items are stored away, or out of reach, such as any chemicals or cords that may bring harm. Along with safety, providing a warm and welcoming environment is important for the pup. Make sure their bed and toys are set up, as well as other items such as food and water bowls. Lastly, providing the pup with plenty of love and attention is an essential way to help them adjust to their new home.
Dachshunds come in two different sizes, standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds typically measure 16-32 inches from the shoulder to the ground, while miniature Dachshunds are generally 11 inches or less. Typically, your Dachshund will reach its full size at around 12 months of age, but may continue to fill out until 18 months. There are also differences in weight standard Dachshunds typically weigh 16-32 pounds, and miniature Dachshunds usually weigh 11 pounds or less.
The amount of walking time your Dachshund needs each day will depend on his age, diet, and general health. As a general rule, a Dachshund should be walked for at least 30 minutes each day. It is recommended to split the 30 minutes into two 15-minute walks. For puppies, it is best to limit walks to five or ten minutes a few times a day. As they age, you can gradually increase the amount of time you walk them. Always consult your veterinarian to ensure that the amount of exercise your Dachshund gets is right for him.
Generally, Dachshunds get along very well with other pets they are familiarized with. At first, they may display shyness and may tend to be wary of other animal companions, but after getting to know them, they will quickly establish a close relationship. Socialization is fundamental in Dachshunds to ensure they establish respectful and friendly attachments with other pets, as well as people. Thanks to their balanced nature, most Dachshunds can learn to coexist with other pets and to obey the "rules" of the house.
The amount of training a Dachshund will need per day will depend on the individual dog, their age and their particular skill set. Ideally, it is best to dedicate at least 10-15 minutes of training each day. During this time, you should focus on teaching basic obedience, reinforcing good behaviors, and stimulating the mind. As the dog becomes more familiar with commands and understands what is expected of them, you can increase the training session to 30-45 minutes per day.
