Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, long-bodied German dog breed. They are often referred to as "sausage dogs" due to their short legs and elongated shape. Dachshunds have an athletic build and are known for their courageous and lively behavior. They are loyal, social, and intelligent, making them a great pet for people of all ages. They usually have a short-haired or wire-haired coat, although there are many more varieties. Although they may be small, they are surprisingly resilient and can make great outdoor companions.
Dachshunds are distinct among dog breeds for their long, stretched-out bodies, short legs, and iconic coat. A few defining features of the Dachshund’s coat include a single-layer, straight, short, and glossy fur. Colors range from black and tan, chocolate and tan, auburn, grey, yellowish red, or red. Usually, it has a crinkled or wavy texture with slight feathering on the ribs, legs, and head.
Dachshunds are a small breed that require a balanced diet so it's important to know what not to feed them in order to keep them healthy and happy. It is vital to avoid giving them any type of human food, as it can cause stomach problems. Food items such as chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, and raisins should be avoided, as they can be toxic to the breed. Avoid feeding table scraps and salty snacks, as they are high in fat and sodium which can lead to weight gain and gastrointestinal upset.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special requirements. As they are a small breed they are more prone to developing orthopedic problems, so regular exercise is important to keep them at a healthy weight. Additionally, because they have longer backs than other breeds, extra care should be taken to provide a supportive surface when sleeping, such as an orthopedic bed or memory foam. It is essential to provide your Dachshund with enough mental stimulation, as this breed is known to become bored easily without proper engagement.
Dachshunds typically grow to a height of 7-9 inches and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds when fully grown, varying in size depending on the breed. Generally, the standard-sized dachshund will reach a larger size, the miniature a smaller one, and the toy size an even smaller one. This breed of dog is known for its long body and short legs, so their size is shorter and stockier than many other breeds. Despite their size, these dogs have plenty of energy and enthusiasm for life, so they make good indoor companions.
Many Dachshunds enjoy the water and swimming! Some owners have reported that their Dachshunds took a dip on their own accord they simply can't resist the taste of the waves. Other Dachshunds have become good swimmers after being trained to do so. Some even compete in swimming competitions. The physical demands and mental stimulation of swimming is the perfect outlet for the enthusiastic and energetic Dachshund. Regardless, it's important to take caution when introducing your Dachshund to the water.
Yes, Dachshunds can be great with kids! These little but mighty breeds are playful and affectionate and can make wonderful family pets. Dachshunds adapt easily to life with children and, in particular, children who treat them kindly and with respect. With proper socialization, Dachshunds can learn to interact happily with other family members, children included. As long as their owners maintain proper leadership over them and teach their children how to properly handle and interact with them, Dachshunds can make delightful companions to children.
Training a Dachshund can be quite easy with proper knowledge and patience. To get started, it is beneficial to research the breed to get an understanding of their physical and mental characteristics. Seemingly small differences in genetic disposition can have a major impact on training and the success of each individual Dachshund. Once you have a general understanding of the breed, focus on getting the most out of every training session. Strategy is important, as every dog has a unique personality and attention span.
