Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small breed of hound or scent-hound dog that originated in Germany. It is most easily recognized by its long body, short legs, and long muzzle. This breed of dog is easily friendly and loyal, making it a great companion. Dachshunds have a very recognizable personality, active and persistent, as well as courageous and bold. They have an even-tempered attitude, although they can become frustrated if they are not able to complete a task. This breed loves to dig, bark, and cuddle.
Although Dachshunds are considered to be an “average shedder”, they are not a nonshedding breed. During the spring and fall, Dachshunds may shed heavily and require more grooming during these times. If you live with a Dachshund, you can expect to be vacuuming and regularly brushing your pup in order to keep its coat and your home in good condition.
Dachshunds should not be fed anything that is high in fat, such as pork, bacon, and/or greasy or processed foods. It is also important to avoid anything with a lot of sugar or artificial sweeteners, like candy and other sweets. Foods that are difficult to digest, like corn, beans, and raw/undercooked meats, should also be avoided. Additionally, table scraps from the human family are generally not recommended, as it can lead to nutrient imbalance and possible gastrointestinal upsets.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is important to consider what essentials you will need to provide a safe, comfortable and healthy environment for your pet. First, you should purchase a crate or a kennel to offer your pet a secure and familiar space. Additionally, you will need to buy comfortable bedding, such as a pillow or a mattress, and toys to keep them entertained. It is also essential to provide regular grooming items, such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, nail trimmers, and quality shampoo specifically designed for their skin and coat.
Dachshunds are a breed of small dog that comes in two size varieties: standard and miniature. Standard dachshunds have an adult weight range of 16 to 32 pounds, while miniature dachshunds weigh between 11 and 16 pounds. When full grown, standard dachshunds typically measure 8 to 9 inches in height at the shoulder, while miniature dachshunds measure 5 to 6 inches tall at the shoulder.
Sure, you can take your Dachshund running—just make sure to pay close attention to their fitness level. Generally, short-legged breeds of dogs should only be taken on limited runs—no more than 50 to 200 yards in a day—so as not to put too much strain on their little legs. If the terrain is more difficult—like a steep hill or difficult terrain—cut back on the distance to make sure not to over-exert them. Also, be sure to use the right leash and provide plenty of water and breaks.
Dachshunds can make wonderful and loyal companions for children of all ages. They are generally patient, friendly, and bubbly, and with proper training and socialization, they can develop strong bonds with the whole family. Dachshunds are a medium-sized breed, so they're small enough to make great playmates without being overwhelming. However, it's important to remember that like with all breeds, they should be monitored and supervised around children as they do possess a certain prey drive that may lead them to chase and nip, especially when they're excited or playing.
Training a Dachshund can take patience, energy, and dedication. In order to achieve the most success in potty training, start by having a consistent outdoor routine. Take your puppy out at the same times every day to eliminate and reward when he or she successfully goes outside. It's also important to provide plenty of chew toys and playtime activities to keep your pup occupied and out of trouble. Provide enrichment activities like sniffing games and puzzle toys to keep the dog engaged and be sure to keep a reward system in place for positive behaviors.
