Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly popular breed of canines, known for their signature, elongated bodies and lovable personalities! From their shockingly long life expectancy to their love of chasing, these loyal dogs often leave a lasting impression on their owners. Some fun facts about this special breed include: they can live up to 15 or 16 years of age, and their short legs make them great at chasing small animals, including foxes.
The Dachshund coat is short yet dense, providing insulation against the elements. Its texture varies, depending on the variety of Dachshund, and may include wiry, smooth, or wirehaired coats. A Dachshund's coat should be maintained with frequent brushing and combing, as well as occasional baths. Dead hairs should be regularly removed to ensure the coat stays at its best. Grooming should include brushing the coat, trimming excess hair around the feet, and other general maintenance.
Dachshunds should never be given chocolate -it can be toxic to them, and may even be fatal in some cases. Some other items to keep away from Dachshunds are dairy products, grapes/raisins, onions, avocados, alcohol, and macadamia nuts. Rich, fatty foods like hamburgers, hot dogs, nuts, and sausage should also not be fed to Dachshunds, as these can lead to digestive upset, pancreatitis, and obesity.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is an exciting process! You'll want to first consider your flooring. Since dachshunds have long backs, they can be prone to spinal injuries, so parts of your home like the stairs should have a non-slip surface. Hardwood floors with a big fluffy area rug is usually best. You'll also want to look for potential hazards. Block off any stairs or sharp rules that may injure your new pup.
Yes, Dachshunds are generally considered small dogs due to their typically small stature and short legs. They usually weigh no more than 32 pounds, although some have been known to reach higher weights. They typically stand between 8 and 9 inches tall. Even at their full size, they remain fairly compact and small compared to other dog breeds. Dachshunds have become popular for their small size and for how well they adapt to small homes and close proximity to their owners.
Dachshunds are not particularly known for being proficient swimmers, however, many owners report that these dogs enjoy taking a dip in the pool or chasing after a ball in the lake. Some even learn how to paddle around and become adept at swimming. Research reveals that short-legged breeds like the Dachshund typically perform better in deep water due to their low center of gravity. So, this breed should do fine if it is introduced to water and given the appropriate tools and training to become comfortable.
Absolutely, Dachshunds can make great pets for first-time owners! These delightful dogs bring lots of joy with their spunky spirit, but are also known for being loyal and loving companions. With patience and consistency during training, they can easily adjust to living with all kinds of owners, from experienced to newbies. Dachshunds also require relatively little maintenance—they don't need as much exercise as many other breeds, they rarely experience health issues, and their short coats don't need to much attention.
That is a difficult question to answer since every Dachshund is unique and may require different levels of attention during training. Generally, however, 10-15 minutes of formal training at least once a day is advised, with shorter, more frequent sessions throughout the day to reinforce the desired behaviors. As your Dachshund become more comfortable with the training, you can gradually increase the time spent to 20-30 minutes. Remember to keep your training sessions fun and interesting for the Dachshund to remain engaged; reward-based training often works best for these breeds.
