Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small to medium-sized hunting dog belonging to the hound family. They have long, wire-haired or smooth coats and short legs and have been around since at least the 15th century, when they were used to chase animals like rabbits and hares. With their iconic long bodies and short legs, Dachshunds have long been a popular breed for families due to their adaptability and eagerness to please. They are friendly, intelligent, alert, and independent dogs who are often willing to work hard and please their owners.
Dachshunds are not generally a non-shedding breed of dog; they do, however, tend to be light shedders or go through seasonal shedding cycles. With regular grooming such as regular brushing and/or bathing with special shampoos, it may be possible to reduce the amount of hair present. As with other dog breeds, regular, good quality nutrition, and overall positive health may help prevent excessive natural shedding.
Dachshunds should not be fed fatty foods, sugary treats, chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, macadamia nuts, or any other food that is toxic to dogs. Dachshunds should be fed high-quality commercial dog food specifically created for Dachshunds, as it is specially designed to meet their needs for protein, fat and other nutrients. Table scraps should not be provided as the extra calories can be detrimental to their health. Additionally, it can lead to bad behaviors when begging around the dinner table.
Every pup parent has a unique challenge with their specific pup, requiring different strategies and approaches. To become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, it is important to consider their individual traits and needs, such as breed characteristics and their level of activity. Researching online, talking to veterinarians and animal behaviorists, and/or consulting books can provide valuable insight into how to properly care for your pup. Constructive and positive reinforcement-based training can also benefit your Dachshund.
It's impossible to accurately predict the size of your Dachshund puppy, as a variety of factors can affect their physical size and development. Dachshunds range in size from a miniature of less than 11 pounds to a standard of up to 32 pounds, so your puppy could be anywhere within that range once fully grown. Generally speaking, the weight of a Dachshund puppy may range from 12 to 16 pounds when they reach 8 to 10 months old, making it easy to predict their adult size.
While some Dachshunds may enjoy swimming and find it a fun activity to do, most Dachshunds seem to be less enthused with the idea of taking a dip in the pool or the lake. Depending on their personality and individual preferences, some Dachshunds may even downright hate swimming, so it's not something that should be done without considering their comfort level beforehand. If you do decide to take your pup out to the water, it's important to keep an eye on them in case they decide that the water is a bit too much.
Yes, Dachshunds can be a great breed of dog for first-time owners, provided they are aware of the breed's specific needs. Dachshunds need daily exercise, so they may not be a good fit for someone with a hectic lifestyle. It's also important to note that these small-sized dogs have big personalities and can be quite stubborn. However, their independent nature also makes them low-maintenance and a relatively easy breed to have.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered smart dogs. They are very quick-thinking and fast learners, so it doesn't take them long to pick up on new commands and behaviors. With good ongoing training and socialization, they can become very well-behaved companions. They are also good problem solvers which gives them an edge when it comes to showing off their smarts. Dachshunds may be small, but don't let that fool you; they have a lot of intelligence and a strong desire to please their owners.
