Questions & Answers
One of the most interesting aspects of Dachshunds is the large variety of sizes that they come in. These pups range from miniature to standard length, meaning that whether you are searching for a smaller lapdog or a pup capable of lengthy hikes and long runs, the Dachshund breed has you covered. Even within the standard size category, these canines are known to have long—or short—legs! Not to mention those cute floppy and upright ears, that big smile, and that bumbling personality that Dachsunds are known for.
A Dachshund's coat is usually short and smooth like other short-haired breeds. However, unlike other short-haired breeds, Dachshunds can have two different coat types. The standard type coat is usually of medium length and lacks an undercoat. The longhaired Dachshund's coat is more abundant and long with wavy hair, particularly around the neck and flanks. Dachshund coats can come in many colors including black, brown, yellow, red, cream, blue and fawn.
Yes, Dachshunds can be sensitive to certain foods. It's important to provide them with the appropriate diet that meets their specific needs, such as a high-quality food that's balanced in fatty acids and protein. Additionally, it's best to avoid foods that are high in fats and carbohydrates, as well as sugary treats. A poor diet can easily lead to health problems for a Dachshund, such as pancreatitis and obesity.
Start by familiarizing yourself with the breed. Research the Dachshund's temperament, behavior, diet, and exercise needs so you can provide an environment that meets their needs and makes them happy and healthy. You will also need to provide basic supplies like food and water bowls, a collar, leash, and toys for your pup. It's best to set up a dedicated space and pick up and unfamiliar odor or noiseand introduce these safely. Establishing rules and routines is very important in house-training your pup, so be sure to have consistency.
Absolutely Dachshunds are considered small dogs. Depending on the breed, these low to the ground pups usually stand between 6 and 9 inches tall and weigh between 16 to 32 pounds at full maturity. While small, Dachshunds are surprisingly energetic and courageous dogs whose sporty build and short legs are ideally suited for burrowing. Because of their compact size, they make perfect apartment and town house companions they tend to be just as happy living in a small space as they are running around in the backyard.
Dachshunds are an active breed of dog and, as such, need regular exercise to remain healthy and happy. While their exercise needs may vary based on their age and size, it's generally recommended that they get up to two walks per day, ideally of at least 30 minutes each. Additionally, they enjoy playing interactive games with their owner to help with physical and mental stimulation. Consider adding daily play sessions with toys, feeding meals with puzzles toys, and going to a dog park for socialization.
Dachshunds are generally very friendly and outgoing, making them suitable pets for families with children. Generally speaking, they do very well around kids, but like any pet, an appropriate amount of supervision is required. Dachshunds are loving and loyal creatures, and they may even try to protect their owners. In addition, they usually have a playful, energetic nature and may even try to join in on outdoor activities and play. Dachshunds are easily trainable too, so teaching them proper behavior around the kids won't be difficult.
The amount of minutes you need to train your Dachshunds depends on the age and level of training they possess already. Generally, it's best to begin with short, regular bursts of around 10 to 15 minutes of training per day and gradually increasing the length as your Dachshunds become acclimated to commands and exercises. It's important to break up the training sessions and ensure that you take enough time for EACH session and be sure to reward them throughout to keep them interested and motivated.
