Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are incredibly interesting canines, from their loyal and devoted personalities to their unique physical features. While low to the ground and short-legged, they are anything but small in size when it comes to heart and spirit. Dachshunds are clever, spunky, and full of life, loving being around people and other animals. They have been known to show a lot of physical and psychological resilience and eagerness to please their owners, making them fantastic and loving companions who enjoy being part of the family.
While no breed is non-shedding, Dachshunds are considered to be low-shedding breeds. They typically molt seasonally, and their coat may require upkeeping. In general, Dachshunds have a short and smooth coat that is easy to groom with the occasional hosing down and brushing. But even short-coated Dachshunds have a coarse layer of fur, which will still leave a bit of hair around the home.
It depends on your individual Dachshunds needs and preferences, but in general, a premium-quality kibble or canned wet food for small breed dogs is the best choice. Look for foods specifically formulated for Dachshunds, which often contain higher amounts of protein and fat to help meet their active lifestyle and condition their unique body shape. You may also consider adding in fresh vegetables and fruits to their diet to keep your Dachshund healthy and happy.
Before bringing a Dachshund into your home, it is important to make sure you have the essential items you need to ensure your pup gets a comfortable and healthy start. Stock up on food and water bowls, dog food, a collar and leash, puppy pads, toys, a brush, nail clippers, shampoo and a toothbrush with toothpaste, as well as a comfortable bed and crate. Additionally, if your Dachshund will go outdoors, then be sure to get a flea and tick preventative, and a sturdy and secure fence if you have a yard.
Dachshunds are smallto medium-sized dogs, typically standing between 8 and 9 inches tall at the shoulder and weighing between 16 and 32 pounds. Miniature varieties usually weigh between 11 and 16 pounds and may be as small as 5 inches at the shoulder. Dachshunds come in many colors and coat types, such as smooth-haired, wire-haired and long-haired. Uniquely shaped, their bodies are long and muscular with short legs.
Yes, it is possible to take your Dachshund running, but there are a few things to consider. Because Dachshunds are short-legged dogs, they can tire easily and are prone to injuries if they are over exercised. You will need to consider the age, body condition, and breed type of your Dachshund before deciding to take them out for a run. Start slowly, running a short distance and then gradually increasing it over time. Make sure your Dachshund is given plenty of breaks and is never forced to run if they are tired.
Dachshunds can make wonderful pets for first time owners, as long as the proper research and commitment is undertaken. These small, intelligent dogs are generally very devoted to their owners and are incredibly loyal. Dachshunds are typically quite low maintenance with grooming needs that can easily be tended to at home. However, it should be noted that Dachshunds can be quite independent and strong-willed at times. Therefore, they require dedicated and firm training to ensure good behavior.
Training Dachshunds every day is important for their obedience, socialization, and overall well-being. The exact amount of time needed to train them will depend on the individual dog and their current level of skill. Generally speaking, most Dachshunds should be able to benefit from a minimum of 15-20 minutes of structured and purposeful training per day, although more active breeds can benefit from longer training sessions of up to an hour per day. If you'd like to maximize the training potential, it's recommended to divide this training period into several smaller sessions throughout the day.
