Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, or "weenie dogs" as they are affectionately known, are among the most popular dogs for households. As one of the oldest breeds of dog, they have some interesting facts associated with their breed. One fun fact is that the breed was originally bred to hunt badgers, their barrel-like chests giving them the ability to pursuit small animals into burrows. They've also been a popular choice for dog shows, winning Best in Show 45 times at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
Dachshunds do shed Fur, but not as much as some other breeds of dog. While Dachshunds have short Fur, they can still have an abundant amount of Fur that they will need to shed. Shedding in Dachshunds typically occurs seasonally, though some may shed year-round, depending on the individual dog. Generally, brushing and keeping up with regular groomings can help minimize the Fur that is shed and help to keep it under control.
Dachshunds, also known as "sausage dogs" or "weenie dogs," are expected to consume a quality and balanced diet of foods that provide the vitamins, minerals, lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and calories they need to maintain their size and activity level. Quality dry and wet food formulated specifically for small breeds is ideal, and treats should be fed in small amounts. It is important for a good diet to consist of proteins such as beef, poultry, dairy, eggs, and fish that provide necessary nutrients.
Preparing your home for the arrival of a new Dachshund is an important step towards giving them a safe and comfortable environment. Before bringing them home, it's recommended to do a thorough check of your home to make sure that it is safe for them. Start by checking for any sharp edges or potential hazards that your pup could get into. Remove any food that is not part of a balanced and nutritious diet, and also things that are toxic to dogs. Additionally, create a dedicated regular potty area and get the right items to help with potty training.
Dachshunds are considered small to medium-sized dogs when compared to other breeds. They range in size from miniature (11 pounds and under) to standard (16-32 pounds). Despite being considered small or medium in size, Dachshunds can pack quite a bit of energy and have larger-than-life personalities. Dachshunds are strong and determined dogs, and their bravery is legendary. So even though they are well below the size of a large dog, they do not shy away from much larger animals.
Dachshunds are a lively breed and need regular exercise to stay healthy and fit. Exercise not only helps keep them in shape but also releases pent-up energy that could otherwise be directed into inappropriate behaviors. An ideal exercise plan should provide a mixture of activity types and amounts to meet their needs. A good rule of thumb is that dachshunds should get at least 45 minutes of exercise spread out over several different activities per day. Walking and playing fetch are great options, as are doggie daycare, agility classes, and doggie sports leagues.
Dachshunds can form a strong bond with other pets when introduced slowly and correctly. However, it is important to note that not all dachshunds have the same personality and some might need more training to learn how to properly interact with other pets. Generally, if socialized adequately, they can adapt to sharing their space with other animals. Depending on the individual dachshund's comfort with other animals, they can get along well with other pets, such as cats, small rodents, and other dogs of all sizes when appropriate introductions and training are provided.
To properly train your Dachshund, it's important to begin early with regular sessions and start off small. Some basic commands a Dachshund should know include sit, stay, come, down, and heel, as well as understanding when a certain behavior is undesired. Exercise is also important and being consistent with positive reinforcement can be greatly beneficial, such as providing tasty treats when desired behaviors are done. You should also be aware of potential behavior issues, such as barking, biting, and chewing.
