Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also known as "Weiner Dogs" or "Doxies," are a fun-loving, loyal breed of dog. They are known for their long, slender bodies, short legs, and big personalities. Some fun facts about Dachshunds include that they are one of the oldest breeds, with early references dating back to 15th century European texts. They were originally bred to hunt badgers and other small animals living in the ground. They were also popular in England and were called the "Royal Dog of England".
Dachshunds are not considered to be a non-shedding breed, but they have what is known as a low-shedding coat which means they do not shed as much as some other breeds. While Dachshunds can still shed their fur, it is usually only a minimal amount and can be dealt with by regular brushing and grooming. This breed is very easy to care for considering the minimal grooming required and minimal shedding, which can make them the perfect pet for those who don't want to deal with a lot of pet hair.
Dachshunds, like all dogs, need a balanced diet of quality proteins, grains, vegetables, and healthy fats. This can either be in the form of a high-quality commercial dog food or a homemade diet of cooked meats, cooked grains, cooked vegetables, eggs, cottage cheese, and yogurt balanced with dietary supplements as needed. Treats can also be offered, as long as it's done in moderation. Fresh, clean water should be available at all times to keep your Dachshund hydrated and healthy.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund begins with assessing your living environment. First, you'll want to identify any potential hazards, like electrical cords or toxic plants, and do your best to childproof the area. Next, be sure to create a safe and comfortable sleeping area with soft bedding and a cozy blanket for your Dachshund to curl up in. Additionally, make sure their food and water bowls are easily accessible and can be refilled as needed. You should also invest in some Dachshund-proof toys and chew sticks to provide plenty of entertainment.
The size of a Dachshund can vary depending on whether it is a standard, miniature, or a Kaninchen (rabbit) sized breed. Standard Dachshunds typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, and have a height that ranges from 8 to 9 inches. Miniature Dachshunds usually weight between 8 to 11 pounds, with a height of 5 to 6 inches. Kaninchen, or rabbit sized Dachshunds are even smaller, usually weighing between 2 and 7 pounds, with a height of 3 to 4 inches.
Absolutely! Taking your Dachshund running is a great way to give them the proper exercise and stimulation they need. It is important to remember, however, that they have shorter legs and longer backs than other breeds, so their stamina can be taxed more quickly. It's best to start out by going slowly and sticking to shorter distances. Make sure to bring some water for them and watch for signs of exhaustion. Additionally, uneven ground, rocks, roots, and other obstacles can pose a higher risk of injury to your pup, so plan your route ahead of time and start on a flat surface.
Dachshunds can make very loyal and endearing family pets. They are naturally friendly, active, and intelligent, which makes them one of the best breeds to consider when looking for a companion dog for the whole family. They are excellent with children and other pets and have a great sense of humor, making them even more enjoyable to be around. Dachshunds have a strong bond with their owners and are happiest when they get lots of attention and daily walks.
Training a Dachshund is not necessarily an easy task. While these breeds are usually intelligent and eager to please their owners, they do tend to have a bit of an independent streak that may make it more difficult for some owners to promote consistent behavior. It is possible to train a Dachshund, but it certainly requires patience, consistency, and dedication. It's important to spend quality time with your Dachshund, engage in positive reinforcement-based training, and remain consistent with rewards and boundaries so your Dachshund can understand what behavior is expected.
