Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is an intelligent and lively breed of dog that originated in Germany during the mid-19th century as an extraordinarily skillful small-game hunter. They are recognizable due to their long, slender body and short legs, which enable them to maneuver into tight, narrow spaces when hunting. Although their charm and good-naturedness appeals to many, the breed is also known for its assertiveness and strong will. Dachshunds are quite alert and love to be around their owners and family.
Although there is a common misconception that all dachshunds are hypoallergenic and non-shedding, this is not the case. Dachshunds are actually considered to be moderate-to-heavy shedders even though their fur requires less regular grooming than many other breeds. All dachshunds shed, or lose dead hairs, which may be visible on clothing, furniture, and floors. Brushing your dachshund a few times per week will help reduce the amount of hair they leave around the house.
For Dachshunds, Nutrish Real Chicken and Veggies Recipe Dry Dog Food is a premium choice that is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of your pet. This formula includes real chicken as the first ingredient, plus sweet potatoes, peas, and carrots, all with no grain, fillers, artificial flavors, or preservatives. Its unique recipes also provide natural sources of fiber to help support healthy digestion, as well as a blend of minerals, vitamins & other nutrients for a complete and balanced meal.
Before bringing your new Dachshund home, there are a few things you can do to prepare your home for your new pup. First, make sure your home is “puppy proof”. Make sure to remove any small items that could be a choking hazard, as well as electric cords that your pup could chew on or become entangled in. Second, invest in a durable crate that will give your pup a safe and comfortable spot to call their own. This will also come in handy during potty training and when you are away.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: Standard and Miniature. Standard Dachshunds typically measure between 8 and 9 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds are smaller, usually measuring between 5 and 6 inches at the shoulder and weighing between 11 and 16 pounds. Dachshunds also come in a variety of fur lengths, including wire-haired, long-haired, and short-haired.
Dachshunds may enjoy taking a dip and swimming, but generally speaking they are not natural swimmers. Most Dachshunds prefer to stay on dry land, either running around in the yard or laying around in the sun. However, there are exceptions as some Dachshunds may actually love to swim. To determine if your Dachshund is one of them, you can watch them at the pool or beach and see if they look like they are enjoying themselves.
Dachshunds can be wonderful pets for first-time owners! With their loyal, playful, and affectionate personalities, they can become great companions for new pet owners. However, Dachshunds do need regular exercise, understanding of their breed traits, and appropriate medical care to be happy and healthy. It is important to research their history, physical characteristics, and special needs for potential owners to have realistic expectations. New owners should also ensure they can provide a safe and secure environment for their Dachshund to thrive.
Training a Dachshund requires commitment and patience. While they are intelligent and eager to please, any dog requires patience and consistency in order to really understand what is expected of them. If you are consistent and patient while training a Dachshund, they are capable of learning basic commands quickly and following complex behavior patterns. It also important to keep training sessions short, as Dachshunds tend to tire out easily. An understanding of behavior reinforcement and body language can help you to be successful with your pup.
