Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also known as "Weiner Dogs" or "Doxies", are one of the most recognizable breeds of dogs. They are small-sized but have a big personality! Interestingly, a Dachshund's name comes from the German word for "badger" because of their original work which was to burrow into badger dens in search of prey.
The coat of a Dachshund is usually short and smooth. It is a very shiny coat that comes in a wide variety of colors, such as red, chocolate, and black, as well as a few different patterns. The coat is quite easy to maintain, needing only occasional brushing and the occasional bath. The Dachshund coat is also quite resilient, and can withstand quite a bit of adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow, and mild cold.
Dachshunds should not be fed human food such as beef, pork, or chicken as these can cause pancreatitis and other gastrointestinal problems. Avoid foods containing sugar, especially chocolate, as these can lead to diabetes. Other foods including onions, grapes, and raisins are toxic to Dachshunds and should always be avoided. It is best to consult a qualified veterinarian and make sure your Dachshund is on a diet specifically designed for its age, weight, activity level, and specific breed requirements.
To ensure a safe and smooth transition for your Dachshund to their new home, it is important to be prepared. Make sure your home is free of hazardous items and secure areas in which they can’t escape, such as an open window. Also, consider Dachshund-proofing your home to protect your pup from stairs, sharp edges, and furniture. Have your home cleaned and vacuumed to limit allergens. Provide your pup with cozy bedding and toys, and create designated areas for the food and water dishes.
Although Dachshunds are usually classified as "small dogs," they can be considered large, depending on their specific size. There are three different types of Dachshunds: standard, miniature, and remote-controlled. The standard Dachshund ranges between 16 to 32 pounds and up to 15 inches tall. These dogs are considered to be much larger than their miniature or remote-controlled counterparts.
While not all Dachshunds may enjoy swimming, there is certainly potential to introduce and train these loyal and loving dogs to swim. Some Dachshunds are content with just wading through shallow waters, while more adventurous doggos may have a tendency to jump right in with enthusiasm. It's important to consult with your vet prior to introducing water-based activities to ensure your pup is healthy enough to swim. Additionally, always make sure to expertly fit and monitor your pup's use of a life jacket to ensure a safe journey into the water.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are known for their affectionate, loyal, and gentle nature, making them excellent family dogs. Dachshunds are a great addition to any family because they are easily trained and incredibly playful. They also have a lot of energy and love to cuddle, which makes them great companions. Dachshunds have a natural knack for making people laugh. They get along well with other animals, as well as children, making them an ideal pet for families.
Dachshunds are not typically viewed as the smartest breed, yet with their tenacity and eagerness to learn, they are known to be surprisingly intelligent. They can understand and follow human instructions as well as comprehend feelings and emotions. Dachshunds usually learn quickly, have good memories, and put plenty of effort into understanding their owners' commands. With the right training and patience, Dachshunds can become obedient house pets, capable of responding to obedience commands and understanding individualized commands and cues.
