Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an energetic breed of dog, commonly identified by their short legs and long bodies. One of their fun facts is that their name comes from the German word for "badger dog" due to their original purpose of hunting badgers. Some more interesting facts about Dachshunds include their impressive vision, as they have eyes placed up at the top of their head for better accuracy when tracking a scent. They are also known to have an incredible sense of smell.
No, unfortunately Dachshunds are not considered a non-shedding breed by general standards. They are, however, a low to moderate shedding breed, meaning that they sometimes lose small amounts of their fur in typical stay-at-home situations. They can also shed more depending on regularity of grooming, the weather, and stress. Regularly brushing your Dachshund will help control light shedding and keep their coat and skin healthy.
Dachshunds should not be fed anything containing the artificial sweetener xylitol, as it can be extremely dangerous for them. Additionally, it’s best not to give them raw or undercooked meats or eggs, due to risks associated with bacteria and parasites. Foods high in fat are also not recommended for Dachshunds, as they can lead to weight gain and digestive problems. Dachshunds are also prone to bloat, so it's best to avoid feeding them food that is too rich or fatty.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is important to make sure you have the essential items you need to make sure both you and your pup have a pleasant experience. This includes food/water bowls, a size-appropriate crate and bed, a couple of collars, a leash, and some kind of toy(s). Depending on where you plan on keeping your pup while you are away, you may also need a baby gate or a pet door. Additionally, it is important to stock up on food, flea and tick prevention, vitamins, and grooming supplies.
Dachshunds come in two different size variations: standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds stand up to 8 9 inches tall at the shoulder, weigh up to 30 pounds and require a great deal of exercise. Miniature Dachshunds stand up to 5 6 inches at the shoulder, weigh 11 pounds or less and do not require much exercise. Both sizes of Dachshunds can also be bred in a variety of coat types: smooth, wire-haired and long-haired.
Dachshunds can enjoy swimming, but they should be properly trained before they are exposed to water. Generally, they may have a shallow gene, not being as inclined to swimming like other breeds. For this reason, swimming should be supervised closely for the safety of the Dachshund. It is best to start the Dachshund with shallow water and gradually increase the depth. Proper training often includes teaching the word "swim" and then rewarding the Dachshund when it takes the desired action.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are great dogs for first-time owners. They are small, loyal, and generally quite easy to take care of. Dachshunds require minimal grooming and are low maintenance when it comes to exercise. Those traits make them ideal for novice owners because they do not require complex training. Furthermore, Dachshunds are intelligent dogs and can be taught basic commands using positive reinforcement. They make loyal, loving companions that will bond to their owners quickly, giving first-time owners the unique satisfaction of creating a strong bond with a canine.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience, but it does require patience and consistency. Dachshunds can get fairly stubborn, so keeping a positive and encouraging attitude is key. Like any breed, they thrive when they understand their boundaries and can trust their handler. Proper training sets a good foundation for a happy relationship with your pup for years to come. It's important to be gentle and consistent when teaching behaviors, while at the same time encouraging good behavior and rewarding successes. Socializing your dog to new people and environments will help a lot with the training process as well.
