Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are such unique dogs! There are a few fun facts about them that you may not know. Originally bred as scent hounds to hunt badger, they have abnormally long bodies, short legs and long noses. Did you know they have the ability to track scents for up to 40 miles? They are very loyal and courageous in spite of their small size. Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature, with a variety of fur coats including: longhaired, shorthaired and wirehaired.
Dachshunds have a unique and distinguishing coat that is smooth, short, and shiny. It is close-lying and does not require much grooming or effort to keep clean. Depending on the color and pattern of their coat, Dachshunds have one of four variations: smooth, wirehaired, longhaired, and dapple. The most common color for their coat is red, but it can also come in various patterns such as brindle, sable, and piebald.
Yes, Dachshunds have some unique dietary requirements due to their short stature. Their bodies are adapted to being able to eat relatively little, yet still have enough energy for activities and playtime. It is important to have protein as the main component of their diet, but this should be balanced with other minerals and vitamins as they are small dogs and tend to not have a lot of body mass to make use of small amounts of food. Healthy fats are also important in order to keep them full and energized.
Before getting a Dachshund, it's advisable to purchase items like a durable collar and leash for walks, several types of treats to reward good behavior, a bed, chew toys for teething, potty pads or doggy litter boxes to help with housebreaking, and food and water bowls. Additionally, it may be a good idea to invest in a grooming brush, nail trimmers, and a toothbrush so you can keep up with your pup’s hygiene.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. Standing only 8 to 9 inches tall and weighing an average of 16 to 32 pounds, their compact size and short legs make them well-suited for living in apartments. Dachshunds are also known for their bold personalities, which can often appear larger than their small size. Though they may be small in stature, Dachshunds are enjoy activity and exercise, which can help keep them physically and mentally healthy. They are often alert and lively when out and about and enjoy playing games with their owners.
Dachshunds are generally an active and lively breed, so they require plenty of exercise to stay healthy and fit. An adult Dachshund should get at least two walks of at least 20-30 minutes five days per week, and activity such as running, playing fetch, or agility training is also beneficial. If possible, give your pup at least an hour of exercise per day to help them stay in shape and prevent obesity.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can get along well with children if the dog is properly socialised, and the child is taught how to interact with the dog. Dachshunds are energetic, and usually quite friendly with people, but sometimes can be more of a guard dog, so it is important that the child knows how to respect the dog. It is important to note that Dachshunds, like all other dogs, should never be left alone with children, as the dog may act out of instinct in a way that may not be suitable for a small child.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered smart dogs. They quickly learn basic commands and demonstrate excellent obedience and even some tricks. Owners of these wiry, long-bodied canines often remark on their loyalty and intelligence. Dachshunds are intuitive, independent thinkers that can quickly learn by observation and recall. With the right directions, they can excel at training and agility tasks. Their comedic clown-like personalities often provide a welcome addition to the household. Dachshunds are attentive to their owners and aware of their surrounding environment.
