Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small, intelligent dogs that are members of the Hound Group of breeds in the American Kennel Club (AKC) classification system. The AKC recognizes two varieties of dachshunds – longhaired and shorthaired – both of which share the same traits, such as their long, slim bodies and short legs. These courageous pups can make excellent companions and are known for their lively, loyal, and outgoing personalities.
The Dachshund coat is short, thick, and shiny, and can come in a variety of colors including red, black and tan, and chocolate. This breed has two coat varieties; smooth and wirehaired. The smooth variety has a short, sleek coat which does not require too much maintenance; while the wirehaired variety has a wiry topcoat and dense undercoat, requiring more frequent brushing to keep the coat free of mats and debris. Both varieties of Dachshund should be groomed regularly in order to keep the coat looking its best.
Dachshunds generally don't require a special diet, however they can benefit from certain dietary considerations. Dachshunds need a diet that's high in fat and protein without excessive filler ingredients. Because Dachshunds are prone to obesity, it's important to make sure their food is not too calorie-dense and is appropriate to their size. Additionally, they tend to need more fiber than other breeds, so the food should also have sufficient, natural sources of fiber such as fresh fruits and vegetables.
It is important to prepare for a new Dachshund beforehand. Research the breed thoroughly to learn about its behavior, nutrition, grooming needs, and health problems it may be predisposed to. Making sure your home is safe and secure for the Dachshund is paramount block off any areas of potential danger or damage so your Dachshund can explore without worry. Finally, provide your Dachshund with plenty of space, socialization, and stimulation throughout the day.
Dachshunds are a small breed of dog, with an average height of 8-9 inches and a weight of 11-16 pounds when fully grown. While some grow larger or smaller than the average, your Dachshund puppy's size can depend on a variety of factors including their genetic makeup, the nutrients they receive, and their exercise routine. Generally, you can expect your pup to reach their full size within the first 18 months of life, but some may reach their maximum size by 1 or 2 years old.
Absolutely! Taking your Dachshund running can often be a great and enjoyable way to exercise both you and your pup. Keep in mind that your dog's exercise needs should fit with its size, age, and fitness level. Begin slowly and gradually work your way up to longer distances. Even if your dog is a smaller breed, like a Dachshund, remember to never over-exert it by running too far, too fast, too often, or in extreme temperatures. If possible, run on softer surfaces to help protect their bones and joints.
Dachshunds are an excellent choice for first-time owners. These loyal and loving dogs are great family pets because they are known for being devoted to their owners, as well as being sensitive and responsive. They are also fairly easy to train due to their intelligence, and they tend to bond quickly with their handlers. Although these breeds can be stubborn at times, they respond best to gentle persuasive techniques, rather than harsh discipline. Lastly, Dachshunds are relatively low maintenance and do not require extensive exercise, thus making them suitable for small living spaces.
Dachshunds have often been considered smart dogs due to their extraordinary problem-solving abilities and even their agility. They are known for being very independent, yet also excellent companions and loyal friends.

Though they may not be as smart as other breeds, Dachshunds still have plenty of mental acumen, making them great companions for plenty of people.
