Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are easily one of the most captivating dog breeds due to their unique characteristics and unlikely proportions. It's true that this breed is known for being a short-legged, long-bodied "sausage" dog, but there's much more to them than their diminutive size. The breed is highly active and has a sometimes clownish yet unique personality that is often charming and endearing. Dachshunds have an exceptionally sharp sense of smell and can in fact be trained to aid in the search for truffles while hunting.
Dachshunds have a unique and recognizable double-coat that consists of a soft, smooth undercoat covered with a slightly longer and coarser topcoat. The coat protects their skin and traps heat to keep the dog warm in cold climates, while also helping to keep them cool in hotter environments. They can have a variety of coat colors, from the classic black and tan, to red, chocolate, and more. Their topcoat should be glossy and can range in texture from wiry to silky.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs that should be taken into consideration to ensure they maintain optimum health and wellness. These needs should be discussed with a qualified veterinarian to ensure that a balanced diet is met. A Dachshund's diet should include lean protein sources, whole grains, and a variety of fruits and vegetables. Additionally, they should be fed in small portions multiple times throughout the day as they tend to have a voracious appetite.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special requirements in order to stay healthy and active. It is important for them to get daily exercise, as they have a tendency to be more active and feisty. Along with exercise, they need to be trained properly and obedience classes are recommended. Dachshunds should also have their ears checked regularly to prevent infections and their nails trimmed as they tend to grow them longer than other breeds. Grooming is important as it helps control shedding.
A Dachshund puppy can range in size depending on the particular breed. Generally, a standard Dachshund pup will be around 8 to 9 inches tall from the shoulder to the ground and can weigh anywhere from 16 to 32 pounds as an adult. On the flip side, a miniature Dachshund puppy may only be 5 to 6 inches in height and 8 to 11 pounds as a full grown adult. It's impossible to predict exactly how large your pup will be when fully grown as puppy size can vary greatly depending on the size of the pup's parents and the genetics.
The amount of time you should walk your Dachshund depends on a few factors, including your pet's age, general fitness level, and any specific health conditions. As a general guideline, adult Dachshunds should walk for at least 30 minutes per day. However, younger or older dogs may need more or less walking time than their adult counterparts. Also, if the weather is good and your Dachshund shows enthusiasm for longer walks, it is okay to increase the walking time up to an hour per day.
Yes, Dachshunds can get along with kids very well. As long as they are trained and socialized properly, Dachshunds are usually quite playful and affectionate towards children. They have an exceptionally loyal and loving personality which can be an ideal companion for kids. It's important to remember though, that since these dogs are small in stature, they may feel threatened by an overly enthusiastic hug. Parents should teach their children how to properly interact with pets to ensure they do not engage in any rough or aggressive behaviour.
Training a Dachshund can be simple, yet exhausting. First, it is important to create a consistent training environment. Establish a few simple rules that the Dachshund understands and stick to those rules. Secondly, make sure to use positive reinforcement. While teaching tricks and commands, give the dog a treat when the desired behaviour is performed. This will help the Dachshund remember the behaviour more quickly and often. Additionally, it is important to remember to be patient with the Dachshund during training.
