Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique and beloved breed of dog that have been a favorite companion for people all over the world! Some fun facts about Dachshunds include: they are descended from ancient 'badger dogs' used to hunt small animals; they come in two sizes standard and miniature; and their long backs allow them to enter and maneuver their way through tight spaces like burrows, a trait which has made them popular for pest control. They are also quite athletic and can even compete in events such as agility trials.
The Dachshund coat is most typical a short and smooth coat, though it can range from long to a wire-haired coat. All coats keep the short, muscular body insulated and they come in variety of colors and patterns. The most common colors are red, cream, black and tan, and chocolate, though there are many other color varieties. The breed is also known for their eye-catching long eyelashes, giving these dogs a charming quality. The coat doesn't require a lot of grooming, but an occasional brushing and bath does help keep the coat shiny and healthy.
The best dog food for Dachshunds depends on your individual pup's specific needs. For example, if they're active and appear healthy, a complete and balanced diet that maintains good body condition and provides adequate nutrition is likely best. If they have any medical issues, it's best to consult a veterinarian to formulate a diet plan tailored to their health concerns. The food should be low-fat, high-fiber, and appropriate for your dog’s size and age. High-quality ingredients and enhanced digestibility can help ensure that your pet gets the most benefits from his meals.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special requirements. They require quality food, at least 30 minutes of exercise everyday, regular grooming, regular vet visits, and plenty of mental stimulation. Keeping them in an area with secure fencing and constant supervision is important, especially when outdoors. With their long backs, Dachshunds are prone to certain health issues including intervertebral disc disease, so you must be diligent about keeping their weight in check and avoiding activities that can result in traumatic injury.
Dachshunds are not traditionally considered to be large dogs compared to breeds like Great Danes and Mastiffs; however, they are larger than some toy breeds such as Pomeranians. A full-grown Dachshund typically weighs 16 to 32 pounds, and stands 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder, making them a medium size breed. As such, their size can vary depending on the particular environment they are in or the size of their litter.
Dachshunds need a moderate amount of exercise roughly 30 minutes of vigorous activity per day. While they are one of the smaller dog breeds, they are very active and have a lot of energy. Outdoor runs or off-leash walks are a great way to provide your Dachshund with the exercise it needs. Fetching, ball throwing, or running alongside a bike are great options.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are a great choice for first-time owners. They are incredibly loyal and loving companions and are great family pets. They can be relatively low maintenance and are a generally easy breed to care for. Dachshunds, more than other breeds, bond closely to their human family and make for affectionate and devoted animals. Overall, they are an ideal breed for first-time owners, as they don't require the same level of care and attention that some other breeds do.
Every dog owner should assess their Dachshund's unique personality and behavioral traits, as this will help determine how long and often training should be done. Generally speaking, a recommended minimum of 15 minutes per day can help ensure that your Dachshund is well-socialized and behaving in the home. Each session should be divided into 5 minute increments during the day and can be broken up into obedience related activities. Depending on the length of training sessions, the more experience your pooch has, the more comprehensive the training will be.
