Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique and lovable breed of dog with lots of interesting traits. They are known for their courage and independence, intelligence and loyalty. They were originally bred to be badger hunters and as such they have some unusual physical characteristics short legs and a long, muscular body which enables them to fit into narrow spaces such as a badger's burrow! They also have relatively large ears which help in amplifying sound making them great for hunting in dense forests. They are also quite stubborn and smart so they need a lot of patience when it comes to training.
While Dachshunds don't shed as heavily as many other breeds, they are not completely non-shedding. They typically have two shedding cycles each year and may have shorter ones throughout the rest of the year. Generally, the hair loss is moderate but a few Dachshunds may shed heavily. If you are concerned about shedding, it's important to consider the type of coat your Dachshund has. Long-haired variations tend to shed more than short-haired ones, but they all require regular grooming to minimize hair loss.
Dachshunds are energetic and adventurous dogs, and it's important to give them a nutritious diet that offers all the nutrients they need to remain healthy and active. The best diet for your Dachshund will depend on their age, size, level of activity, and breed specific nutritional requirements. Generally speaking, an appropriate diet should encompass high-quality kibble that contains meat as the primary ingredient, along with fresh fruits and vegetables.
Preparing your home for your new Dachshund is relatively easy. Start by ensuring your home is puppy-proofed by putting all hazardous items out of pet’s reach and getting rid of any potential choking hazards. Next, set up a comfortable area that is mostly puppy-proof and put up a bed, blanket, and toys. It is also highly recommended to invest in a crate to provide your pet with a safe space.
Dachshund puppies are small in size, usually reaching heights of 8-9 inches and weighing no more than 11-32 pounds when fully grown. However, size is variable depending on the breed and individual puppies may exceed this range. To get an idea of how big your Dachshund puppy will be as an adult, it is recommended to look for an adult example of a similar breed to yours and use it as a guide.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are highly active and energetic dogs. While their small size might give the impression of an easygoing, low-key pet, the truth is this breed is always ready to go. Whether it's a long walk around the neighborhood or an afternoon playing in the yard, Dachshunds have the energy and enthusiasm to keep up with their families. They also make excellent jogging companions and are equipped with all the stamina they need to join in the fun.
Dachshunds can make great companion pets for families with kids. They are generally known for being friendly and loyal, with an abundance of love to give. As with any breed of dog, it is important to socialize them properly and provide proper training for children to ensure a safe bonding experience. Dachshunds are usually tolerant of a variety of ages, as long as they are introduced early on, and have no problem being around their "little humans.
The amount of minutes per day that a Dachshund requires for training depends on their age, experience level, and particular training goals. Generally, the amount of time needed to train a Dachshund can vary anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes per day. However, it is recommended that for the best results, a Dachshund should be trained about 30 minutes per day for a minimum of 4 times a week. This is so the dog will have enough time to learn and practice the commands "positively" and without feeling overwhelmed.
