Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small breed of dog that is distinguishable by its long body and short legs. Originally bred to hunt badgers, these dogs are loyal companions and very trainable. Dachshunds typically have a brown, black, or tan coat, and can weigh between 16 and 32 pounds depending on their breed type. Their alert and curious personalities often make them great watchdogs. Health-wise, Dachshunds are sometimes prone to health issues due to their long spine, such as intervertebral disc disease and obesity.
No, Dachshunds are not non-shedding. These dogs are known for their long and short-haired coats that shed moderately year-round and then heavily during seasonal molting. With the right grooming, however, the shedding can be manageable. Brushing your pet on a weekly basis with a soft-bristled brush can help to remove loose fur and keep the coat from matting. It is also important to bathe your pet occasionally in order to keep the skin healthy and clear of debris which can hold onto the fur and cause it to be distributed in the air.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs. It is important to feed them an appropriate, high-quality diet their entire lives to keep them healthy. It is especially important to feed puppies a specialized diet formulated for their age as their nutritional needs are different from adult dogs. Many Dachshunds may have sensitivities to certain ingredients, so it is recommended to research the best foods that are suitable for your pet. A premium, balanced diet with proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals is necessary.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to purchase the necessary supplies. Make sure to have a proper collar and leash. A collar should fit snugly and be made of material the pup can't chew. Buy a high-quality leash designed to last. A comfortable bed will give your pup a place to rest. Pick a bed that is easy to clean and sized appropriately for a Dachshund. Food and water dishes are also a must. Make sure to get both elevated dishes to help the pup’s digestion. Toys and treats are great for stimulating healthy playtime.
Dachshunds typically range in size from 8 to 9 inches for mini breeds, 11 to 12 inches for tweenies, and 16 to 32 inches for standards. Most standards will weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, while the smaller varieties can range from 6 to 18 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds generally reach their full size at 8 to 10 months of age, tweenies around 12 months of age, and standards at around 16 months of age. However, you should also note that Dachshunds may continue to grow and fill out after reaching their full size.
An ideal guideline for walking your Dachshund is 30 minutes to an hour per day. The amount of exercise your Dachshund requires depends on its individual needs and its health. Generally, a Dachshund should be taken on two shorter walks a day and have time for self-directed running and playing. Frequent and routine exercise will help reduce extra energy, ward off obesity, and improve cognitive development. If possible, avoid keeping Dachshunds inactive in cramped quarters for prolonged periods.
Dachshunds can make great family pets. Not only have they been bred to hunt since the 1500s, but they are also strong, loyal, and intelligent beings. With proper socialization, these dogs can be good with children and make good home companions. They crave human company and can be excellent watchdogs. Dachshunds can live for a fairly long time, so families should prepare for the consequences of a long-term commitment before getting one. They also need plenty of physical and mental exercise to stay healthy and well-behaved.
Training a Dachshund can be relatively simple with proper techniques and plenty of strategies. It is important to start the training process as early as possible, preferably when the pup is about 8 weeks old. When training, start off by teaching basic commands such as sit, stay, and come. Use your hand signal and verbal command for each one and reward your Dachshund with their favorite treats when the command is properly followed.
