Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a low-bodied, long-bodied breed of dog that originates from Germany. It is a small and energetic breed that is often characterized by its short legs and long body. A Dachshund is known for its devotion to its family and its hunting ability. Despite their small size, they are quite powerful and can be quite capable when trained properly. They have straight, muscular legs that allow them to quickly traverse short distances with great agility.
Dachshunds are not a non-shedding breed of dog; they do shed a small amount. However, due to their short hair and small size, the amount of shedding tends to be manageable and can generally be kept under control. Regular grooming is encouraged to minimize shedding. During shedding season, it may be necessary to increase the frequency of grooming to stay on top of the shedding. Grooming involves brushing your Dachshund regularly and having their nails trimmed, in addition to providing regular baths and coat care.
Dachshunds need to be fed a high-quality diet that is specifically formulated for small breed dogs. Generally, it's best to feed your Dachshund a healthy combination of wet and dry kibble that includes real meat and other protein sources like chicken, fish, or eggs as the primary ingredient. Other nutritious ingredients like fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats (such as fish or flaxseed oil) should make up the rest of their meal. Avoid products containing additional fillers like wheat, corn, and soy.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special requirements that should not be overlooked. As a breed with a long body and short legs, Dachshunds can suffer from back problems, so it’s important to be mindful of their exercise and not let them jump up and down from furniture or other elevated surfaces. Dachshunds should also be taken for regular walks to keep their muscles strong and prevent these back issues.
The size of your Dachshund puppy depends a lot on the specific breed. Generally, Dachshunds typically grow up to be around 8-9 inches tall and can reach anywhere from 8-32 pounds for Standard size breeds. Miniature breeds usually grow to be around 5-6 inches tall and weigh in at 11 pounds or less. Depending on the age and weight of your puppy, you can expect them to grow to be in the given range within the next year.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running but it is important to remember that Dachshunds have relatively short legs, so you want to be careful not to overexert them. If possible, avoid running for too long or too hard. It is important to know your dog's limits and to make sure your pup isn't too hot and is getting plenty of breaks along the way. Taking your dog out running is a great way to get exercise and bond, so make sure your pup is fit enough to enjoy the run with you.
Yes, in most cases dachshunds are great with kids. They are generally friendly and patient, with a reputation for being especially good with families. They have lots of energy and love to play, making them a natural fit for an active family. When properly socialized, they are comfortable around children and often form strong bonds with them. However, dachshunds can be stubborn and sensitive, so it is important to be mindful of their temperament, and that kids know to be respectful and responsible around them.
Dachshunds are known for their intelligence and trainability, so one could say they are smart! Depending on the individual, some may be more responsive to commands than others, however most traits are rooted in their heredity. For example, some may learn to recognize unique words and commands faster than others, while still others may develop an easily discernible sense of humor. Additionally, Dachshunds can be extremely alert and active, making them excellent watchdogs. With proper training and socialization, they can become loyal companions and a pleasure to have around.
