Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a popular dog breed with a lot of fun facts! They were originally bred to hunt badgers and their name, "Dachshund", literally translates to "badger hound" in German. They come in a variety of coat colors including red, black and tan, and chocolate. Dachshunds are energetic dogs and may act like puppies up until the age of four or five! Despite their small size, they can make excellent guard dogs if necessary. They are highly intelligent and learn quickly, making them easy to train.
It is important for those living with Dachshunds to be aware of ways to manage allergies, as the breed tends to shed quite a bit of fur. The first thing to do is to brush your dog’s fur regularly, as this helps to reduce the amount of dander spread around your home. Vacuuming carpeting, upholstered furniture, and other surfaces that come in contact with your pet’s fur should also be done on a weekly basis.
Dachshunds do have unique dietary needs, and it is important to understand what they are in order to keep your pup as healthy and happy as possible. Dachshunds are prone to becoming overweight, so it is important to feed them food that is high in lean protein and low in fat. Furthermore, because of their elongated backs, it is beneficial to feed them food that is easy to digest and contains essential vitamins and minerals to ensure their nutrient needs are met.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can be an exciting and rewarding experience.
Dachshunds come in two standard sizes: standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and may have a shoulder height of anywhere between 8 and 9 inches. On the other hand, miniature Dachshunds rarely weigh more than 11 pounds and have a shoulder height of about 5 to 6 inches. Additionally, there is a less-common third size known as the Kaninchen Dachshund, which is smaller than a miniature, weighing between 4 and 9 pounds and having a shoulder height between 5 and 6 inches.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are built for running and can make great running companions. Before you take yours out for a long run, however, it's important to ensure they are fit and healthy enough to do so. You'll want to make sure your Dachshund is at a healthy weight (which means not too skinny or overweight) and that they don't have any health issues or age constraints that may make running difficult. A simple but thorough checkup with your vet isn't a bad idea, either.
Dachshunds can make outstanding first-time pets! They are relatively easy to care for, make great indoor companions, and thrive on companionship. They are intelligent dogs, and with positive reinforcement and consistency, can be easy to train and very loyal. Plus, they don't require much space, and they can thrive in apartments! However, without physical and mental stimulation, they can become hyperactive and destructive so it's important to give them plenty of exercise and keep them engaged with stimulating activities.
Dachshunds have been known to possess a great level of intelligence. In fact, many owners of these canines comment on the in-depth problem-solving skills and adaptability of these dogs. The ability to recognize patterns and obey commands quickly implies a higher than average intelligence. Additionally, owners swear by Dachshunds loyalty and their fast learning ability, which indicates that these dogs are quite smart. Even more, it is not uncommon for Dachshunds to pick up-on cues from humans and use their environment to figure out situations.
