Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of hound, known for its long body and short legs. The breed originated in Germany in the 1600s, where it was developed as a member of the hound group to hunt badgers, rabbits, and other small animals. It is a small breed of dog, usually weighing 16-32 pounds and standing 5-9 inches at the shoulder. It has short, smooth fur and comes in a variety of colors, such as red, tan, black, gray and cream.
While Dachshunds do not shed in the traditional sense, they still require grooming to keep their coats healthy and maintained. This can include brushing every day to remove remnants of dead hair and skin, in addition to bathing them every few months. Dachshunds also have a tendency to “blow their coats” once or twice a year, which will result in a greater amount of shedding. During this period, you may need to invest in quality brushes to help limit this shedding.
Dachshunds need a diet that can accommodate their active needs and helps maintain their healthy weight. Depending on their age, size, and activity level, Dachshunds should have a high-quality dry commercial dog food. The kibble should be formulated specifically for adult Dachshunds or puppies, and high-quality canned food can also be offered depending on your dog's age and dietary needs. If your Dachshund needs extra calories, you can supplement with cooked meats, vegetables, and fish.
Yes, Dachshunds do have some special requirements that should be considered before adopting or purchasing one. They generally require regular grooming to keep their fur healthy and well-maintained, as well as a healthy diet to prevent obesity. Additionally, Dachshunds may require moderate exercise on a daily basis to stay physically fit and active. And finally, as with all dogs, it's always a good idea to include mental stimulation through toys and interactive play to prevent boredom and exercise their minds.
The size of your Dachshund puppy depends on what type you have. Standard Dachshunds typically grow to an average length of 16-32 inches and an average weight between 16-32lbs. Miniature or "Tweenie" Dachshunds, on the other hand, are smaller and usually grow to an average of 11-14 inches in length and weight between 11-16lbs. At 1 year old, your puppy should reach close to its adult size, depending on how much it is growing.
The amount of time needed to walk your Dachshund varies based on the age and activity level of your pet. Generally, Dachshunds should be taken outside for at least thirty minutes of exercise and potty break twice a day, with a few extra play sessions to keep them active and healthy. The more active your pup is, the more exercise and walks they'll need, so plan accordingly. Also consider weather conditions when determining the duration of walks; if it's summertime, your pet may need shorter walks and more breaks in shady areas.
Dachshunds can typically get along with other pets if they are raised and socialized together from a young age. Many Dachshunds are happy to make friends with animals of all kinds, from cats and ferrets to horses and goats. Of course, like all situations, introductions should be done slowly and carefully to ensure everyone is comfortable, and it's recommended that you speak to a professional trainer or veterinarian about the best processes for doing so. It's essential to be patient and take things slowly to ensure their relationship flourishes over the long term.
The amount of minutes per day needed to train Dachshunds will depend largely on the individual dog. Factors such as their age, breed, and experience will impact the length of time needed to train them. Generally, plan for a 15 to 30 minutes training session per day. If your Dachshund is particularly energetic or has a lot to learn, then it may be beneficial to split the session into two or three shorter sessions throughout the day. Ultimately, it's best to assess your individual dog and tailor the training sessions to their needs.
