Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dog. They were originally bred in Germany to hunt badger and other small prey like rabbits. What’s more, they are recognized by their long bodies and short legs. Fun fact, they are even nicknamed “sausage dogs”. Dachshunds come in three varieties, smooth-haired, wire-haired, and longhaired. They are also available in a variety of colors including black, brown, red, and white.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are not considered a low-shedding breed. While they do not shed as profusely as some other breeds, they do tend to shed seasonally and throughout the year too. During shedding season, more regular brushing will help maintain a clean and healthy coat. If you're looking for a low-shedding pet, you might want to look into other breeds like the Bichon Frise or a Shih Tzu.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs. Like any other breed, Dachshunds need the proper balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and other nutrients to live a healthy life. High-quality dry kibble should be tailored to meet their needs and should contain digestible proteins and other sources of energy, minerals, and vitamins. Additionally, it's important to ensure that the food is appropriate for their size by avoiding overfeeding; this will help keep your Dachshund from becoming overweight or obese.
In order to prepare your home for your new Dachshund, you should evaluate the space and determine what changes you need to make. First, consider any hazards that your dog may encounter and make sure to prevent access to items such as cleaners, medications, cords, and other small objects that may pose a health or safety risk. Next, create a comfortable environment for the Dachshund with items such as a secure area for rest, play areas, and chew toys. This will all help to make sure your pup is well-adjusted and feels comfortable in their new home.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs, although their short legs and long bodies give them an unmistakable silhouette. Despite their small size, Dachshunds often have larger-than-life personalities. Dachshunds generally weigh no more than 16 pounds and usually range between 11" to 16" in height. Although some of the larger Dachshund breeds may weigh up to 32 pounds they are still considered small compared to most other breeds.
The amount of time you should walk your Dachshund each day can vary depending on age and activity level, but as a general rule of thumb, adults can benefit from getting anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes of exercise per day. If your Dachshund is young and still growing, or especially active, this amount of exercise can be increased to an hour or more per day. You should also ensure that your Dachshund is receiving quality playtime, and engaging in other activities that don't involve walking them, such as running in a large, open area or playing fetch.
Dachshunds are generally good-natured and friendly with other pets in the home, although they often have a special affinity for their primary owner. With the right introduction and socialization process, Dachshunds are usually happy to share their home with other animals. As long as they are provided with proper boundaries and ample supervision, it is likely that Dachshunds and other pets can learn to live peacefully together.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience. Start at an early age, as young as 8-10 weeks, by introducing basic commands like sit, stay, and come. Work gradually with your pup, and take breaks throughout each session so they don't get overwhelmed. Make sure to use positive reinforcement, including giving treats and providing verbal praise to mark achievements. You'll want to handle potty training carefully, as Dachshunds are naturally resistant to housetraining. Start with a schedule and be sure to have consistent expectations.
