Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a toy class of hounds, and are known for their short legs and elongated bodies. Perhaps the most recognizable feature of a Dachshund is their smooth and sleek coat with very little shedding. Although their size can vary, most Dachshunds are smaller than the average size of a standard dog breed and are usually between 8 and 10 inches tall, weighing between 16 and 32 pounds. Their personality is feisty and energetic, and they can have a lot of drive.
No, Dachshunds do not qualify as a non-shedding breed. Though some may shed less than others, Dachshunds cannot be guaranteed to not shed as other breeds can. While they may have a lower activity level than other breeds, they do need regular grooming which includes brushing twice a week to help keep loose hair to a minimum. Dachshunds also require regular nail trims and ear cleaning to keep them healthy, as well as healthier skin and coat. Consider investing in a high-quality pet vacuum to make keeping your home clean a bit easier.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs in comparison to other breeds of dogs. Dachshunds are known to be prone to pancreatitis because of their long bodies and short, straight legs. Due to this they may need a higher fiber content in their diets. However, because of their predisposition to obesity, it's important to keep Dachshunds' diets balanced and low in calories. Some dogs may also benefit from a low-fat, low-protein diet.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is an important task that should be completed prior to bringing your pup home. The first step is to puppy-proof your living space to make sure that your pup is safe in its new environment. Remove any small items and hazardous materials that your pup may have access to, and put them out of reach. You should also block off any areas where your pup may wander and get themselves into potentially dangerous situations.
Dachshunds come in three size categories: Standard, Miniature, and Kaninchen, also known as Rabbit size. Standard Dachshunds typically measure 8-9 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds measure 5-6 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 11 and 16 pounds. Kaninchen Dachshunds measure 4-5 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 3 and 6 pounds. Depending on the variety and parentage, Dachshunds may vary slightly in size and weight.
How much exercise your Dachshund should have depends on factors like their age and energy level. Generally speaking, it's recommended that Dachshunds get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day either a brisk walk or an interactive game such as fetch or hide-and-seek. Regular daily exercise can help keep them in shape and healthy, so it's important not to skip out on it. To maintain their overall health and happiness, aim to walk your Dachshund for a minimum of 30 minutes a day.
Yes, Dachshunds are often quite sociable and typically get along well with other pets. While their size may lead some to think they have a bravado attitude and are not as friendly with other animals, that is not the case. If you can, it is best to start socializing them with other animals, including cats, early on, or at least introducing them when they are puppies. This will help ensure friendly, relaxed interactions between the Dachshund and other pets.
The amount of minutes per day you will need to train a Dachshund depends on the individual approach and your dog's learning style. Generally, it's recommended to train a Dachshund for at least 20 minutes per day, every day of the week. It's important to remember that this may vary as too much training, or too little, can negatively affect your pup's progress. Young dogs may require shorter training sessions and the intensity should increase as the pup matures.
