Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have an incredibly curious and active streak. They were initially bred to hunt animals like badgers and other tunneling prey. This bold attitude, along with their tenacity and stubby leg structure, gives these dogs unique physical characteristics. They often show off their courage during play by running and jumping and even have the capacity to adapt to swimming. On top of that, they often display endearing personalities and will certainly provide an interesting companion to anyone who appreciates their loyal, brave nature.
Dachshunds do not shed excessively, however since all dogs sometime shed, it is not completely accurate to say that Dachshunds are non-shedding. While their fur is short, it is not hypoallergenic, and brushing your Dachshund regularly can help to decrease their shedding. Compared to other breeds, however, Dachshunds tend to shed much less. Special shampoos, conditioners, and sprays for Dachshunds are available to help contain shedding and keep it to a minimum.
It is very important to feed your Dachshund a healthy and balanced diet. Your pup will need a diet that is rich in high-quality proteins like fish, chicken, eggs, beef, and lamb. You will also want to include a variety of vegetables such as peas, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, and broccoli to provide valuable vitamins. Additionally, healthy grains such as oats, barley, and brown rice can provide your pup with carbohydrates.
Before you bring home a Dachshund, you want to make sure you are prepared with all the necessary items. First, you should buy a soft collar or harness and a leash, as Dachshunds require frequent walks. You also need to acquire a comfortable bed to give them a safe and secure sleeping environment. Another essential is food and water bowls. Make sure to get bowls that are specifically made for small breeds, so your Dachshund can easily reach and can eat comfortably. Additionally, you need to buy a brush and grooming supplies to keep their coats healthy and shiny.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. The breed standard states that a standard-sized Dachshund should be between 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder. However, sizes generally range from 4-32 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds, on the other hand, should be no taller than 5-6 inches at the shoulder. According to the breed standard, these miniature Dachshunds should be no more than 11 pounds, however many pet owners find their Dachshunds to be a bit larger than that.
It depends on the age and current health of your Dachshund, as well as the climate and terrain in which you are walking. Generally speaking, a leisurely walk of 15-20 minutes per day is recommended for an adult Dachshund, while puppies should get five minutes per month of age, up to twice a day. If your Dachshund is older and not as active, you may need to focus on shorter, more frequent walks and allow plenty of rest in between.
Dachshunds can make excellent pets for first-time owners. Despite their small size, they can have a big personality that makes them highly entertaining companions. Dachshunds are also affectionate and, while prone to being independent, overall they are friendly and can be loyal to their owners. As long as they receive plenty of regular exercise, they can make wonderful additions to the family. However, since they are a hunting breed, they can be very active, so it's important to be prepared for that kind of energy level.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered to be smart dogs. They are highly trainable and are great students in obedience classes. Their curiosity and eagerness to please their owners feeds into their intelligence. Dachshunds have an uncanny ability to figure out tasks quickly with minimal effort. They are quick learners and can remember commands easily and are even known to pick up some tricks as well! Their alertness and clever nature is something that cannot be denied. Additionally, they are very protective when it comes to their owners and environments.
