Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are playful and friendly dogs that make a great addition to any family. They are loyal to their people and love to snuggle. Here are some fun facts about these adorable pooches: Dachshunds have an excellent sense of smell and have often been used in the past to hunt badgers. Dachshunds come in a variety of sizes and colors, including red, tan, black, and cream. They have an average lifespan of 12 to 16 years, and can weigh anywhere from 11 to 32 pounds depending on the size.
No, Dachshunds are not considered non-shedding. Commonly referred to as 'doxies', Dachshunds can shed quite a bit depending on the interaction of their coat type, environment and health. That said, although they are not considered true non-shedders, their fur tends to be very short and fine, making them a relatively easy-to-care-for breed. You may experience less shedding by brushing your Dachshund regularly and providing them with good nutrition.
For optimal canine health, it is best to choose a dog food specifically formulated for Dachshunds. Generally, the best Diet for Dachshunds should consist of high-quality proteins such as chicken, turkey, beef, and lamb. Additionally, pet owners should look for a food that offers important vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support overall health and wellness. It is also essential to select a kibble size that is suitable for the Dog's jaws. Larger breeds of dogs can easily consume larger pieces of food while small breeds of dogs may struggle with larger portions.
It's a good idea to prepare your home for a new Dachshund to ensure they have a comfortable and safe living space. Firstly, check all public areas of your home for anything they may be able to chew or swallow that may be potentially hazardous to their health. Secondly, purchase food and water bowls that are appropriate for the size of your Dachshund. The bowls should be made of a durable material such as stainless steel or ceramic. Thirdly, provide your Dachshund with somewhere comfortable to rest, such as a dog bed or soft crate.
Dachshunds, commonly known as 'Sausage Dogs', can grow to a comfortable size when introduced to a healthy diet and exercise routine. On average, Dachshunds stand between 8-14 inches tall, and will usually weigh between 16-33 pounds. Although some can weigh slightly more, the breed's standard size is typically on the smaller side. When it comes to length, a full-grown Dachshund can measure up to 18 inches.
Absolutely! As long as your Dachshund is comfortable with running and is in good health it can absolutely be a part of your running routine. It is important to pay attention to your pup's level of exertion. Make sure to take breaks and be mindful of your pup's energy level so they aren't over-exerting themselves or becoming dehydrated. Depending on the breed of your Dachshund, they may need a little extra rest and make sure you are also providing them with proper nutrition and hydration.
Dachshunds can make wonderful companions for kids. Though they have a lot of energy and can be protective, they tend to have a gentle and affectionate nature which makes them great family pets. They are also highly intelligent and learn quickly. When trained and socialized well, Dachshunds can be both friendly and tolerant of young children. That being said, due to their small size they may be particularly sensitive to rough treatment, so young kids should be supervised when interacting with Dachshunds, as they need to learn how to interact with them appropriately.
The amount of minutes per day needed to train Dachshunds truly depends on the individual dog's behavior and the skill level of the trainer. Generally, it is recommended that Dachshunds be trained for 15-20 minutes per day in short sessions--using positive reinforcement methods, such as treats, playtime, and praise. This can provide both mental and physical stimulation while teaching basic commands such as sit, stay, and come. If you are an experienced dog trainer, you can move on to more advanced commands and longer training sessions.
