Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also known as "wiener dogs" or "sausage dogs" due to their long and slender shape, are a breed of small hound-like dogs originating from Germany. They're known for their strong personality, intelligence, and loyalty toward their owners.
Dachshunds have short, sleek coats that vary from long and wiry to short and smooth. Their colors range from solid hues like red, black, and chocolate to two-tone patterns like dapple and piebald. In addition to their standard coat of short, sleek hair, some Dachshunds have longer hair including wirehaired and long-haired varieties. Their coats are low-maintenance and require only occasional brushing. It's important to brush the coat regularly, at least twice a week, to get rid of dead hair and keep the fur healthy.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs. As a deep-chested breed, they can be prone to gastrointestinal distress and bloat, which means you need to pay extra attention to their diet. It's important to feed them high-quality food that is tailored to their size, and provide multiple smaller meals that are spread out throughout the day. Monitoring the amount of food they eat and the type of treats they have is also important Dachshunds can quickly become overweight and suffer from additional health issues if fed too much.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is an important and exciting task that can provide your furry friend with a safe and comfortable environment. To begin, make sure to puppy-proof your house by moving any items that may be dangerous to your puppy, such as cleaning products, electrical cords, and small items that could be swallowed. Create an area in your house that can act as an off-limit zone, or your Dachshund's den, for naptime or when they need to relax.
The size of a Dachshund puppy can vary since it is influenced by both genetics and environment, so it is difficult to predict an exact size. Generally, standard-sized Dachshunds normally reach an adult size between 11-16 inches tall at the shoulders, and weigh between 16-32 pounds, while miniature Dachshunds grow to approximately 8-11 inches tall and can weigh up to 11 pounds when fully grown.
The amount of exercise that is recommended for a Dachshund depends on its age, size and overall health. A good rule of thumb is around 30 minutes of walking, 3-4 times per day, for an adult Dachshund. If younger, smaller or just starting to get in shape, your Dachshund may not be able to handle a full 30 minutes of walking such as when the temperature is high or when it is out of shape. In those cases, a shorter walk time around 10-15 minutes would be best.
Dachshunds can make great family pets and generally do well around kids. They are affectionate, friendly, and playful, so there is usually a strong bond created between the dog and the children. However, it's important to teach children to interact with the Dachshund in a respectful and positive manner, as they can be easily frightened and can bite if they feel threatened. Additionally, providing a safe space for the Dachshund to retreat to is important to help the dog feel comfortable and secure.
Dachshunds are often considered intelligent pooches and are sometimes referred to as "Wiener Dogs" for their distinctive shape. Dachshunds can be taught to understand basic commands such as sit, stay, down, come, and heel. They also learn quickly and are eager to please their owners. Their willful and independent nature, along with a keen sense of smell and good tracking skills, makes them excellent watchdogs. Dachshunds can be easy to train, but they do require consistent guidance and structure.
