Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small, dog-like creatures with long bodies and short legs, long ears, and big eyes. They usually weigh between 16-32 lbs and are typically very friendly and affectionate towards people. Dachshunds are also quite intelligent and can get easily bored if not stimulated enough, so they require lots of love and attention. They are a very active breed and thrive with daily walks and outdoor playtime, as well as strictly monitored indoor time. Despite their small size, Dachshunds have a lot of energy and require plenty of exercise.
Dachshunds are known for their iconic long and slender bodies topped with a beautiful coat of fur. Their coat can come in many colors including black, fawn, chocolate, and cream, and patterning can range from solid, dapple, and brindle. Regardless of the color or pattern, the Dachshund coat can come in both short and long-haired varieties. The short-haired coat is smooth and shiny, while the long-haired coat is silky and dense, with feathering around the ears and tail.
Dachshunds have specific digestive requirements due to their small size that should be taken into consideration when creating a healthy diet. It is important to feed them a high-quality, balanced diet according to their size and age. For adult dachshunds it is advisable to feed a diet consisting of two-thirds protein and one-third fat which is especially important for the short-haired breed which is prone to putting on weight. For younger puppies, it is important to provide more fiber and carbohydrates in their diet.
To ensure your new Dachshund has a safe and comfortable start in their new home, there are a few essential preparations you can make. First, make sure to puppy-proof your home, ensuring that items like electronics, cords, houseplants, and sharp or breakable objects are in a secure location and away from your new pup's reach. Invest in chew toys and treats to encourage positive chewing habits as well as comfortable, supportive beds for restful sleeping.
Dachshunds are a small breed of dog that often look and behave like larger breeds. While they are usually small, some Dachshunds can grow to be quite large, with many reaching 22 pounds or more. Because of their size, they are not considered large enough to be safely taken off-leash around unfenced areas, as going on-leash can pose a safety hazard. Generally, Dachshunds are seen as a small-sized breed and aren't usually perceived as 'big dogs.
Generally speaking, it is suggested that Dachshunds get around 30-60 minutes of exercise per day, with at least some of it being a brisk walk. Since Dachshunds are prone to spinal issues, it is best that the walk should be done in a minimum number of intervals, of about 10 minutes each. If your Dachshund is particularly energetic they may need up to 90 minutes of exercise each day. Take into consideration their age, size, health and temperament, and adjust accordingly.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds get along well with other pets, depending on their upbringing and the specific dynamics between them. With proper socialization and positive reinforcement, Dachshunds can live harmoniously with other animals. It's important, however, to monitor their interactions to ensure that any aggression or negative behaviors, from one pet to the other, don't become a habit. Certain breeds may be more temperamental than others, so it's important to consider this when introducing a Dachshund to another pet.
Dachshunds are known for their independent and determined personalities; however, they can also be quite intelligent. Studies suggest that they can learn and remember commands just as easily as any other dog breeds, and respond to positive reinforcement training techniques well. Additionally, dachshunds tend to be quick problem-solvers and have an innate ability to anticipate their owners' needs. Furthermore, they can learn a variety of tricks and have a good understanding of body language. When given the right stimulus and direction, they can learn just as smartly as any other dog breed.
