Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an intelligent, energetic, and playful breed with a big personality. They enjoy being active, and usually require a moderate amount of daily exercise to stay happy and healthy. Despite their small size, Dachshunds can act tough and aggressive and may present a challenge to train. On the other end of the spectrum, they can also be moody and sensitive and may need extra love and patience. They are lively, inquisitive, and need mental and physical stimulation. They are highly loyal and form strong bonds with people they love.
No, Dachshunds are not non-shedding. They are a low-shedding breed, but it will still be necessary to groom regularly and brush them a few times a week to remove the loose hair. Regular baths and nail trimming might also be necessary to keep your Dachshund looking its best. However, managing Dachshunds' shedding is relatively easy in comparison to other breeds of dogs that tend to shed more.
Dachshunds are fairly unique in their nutritional needs, so it's important to pick a food that's just right for them. Look for an all-natural food that is species-appropriate and contains whole-food ingredients like real meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, and wholesome grains. Hogging down carbs and fillers isn't just an unpleasant sensation – it can also create unhealthy effects. Avoid by-products, toxic preservatives, artificial colors, and flavorings.
To get your home ready for your new Dachshund, start by investing in a crate for training and giving them their own space to go to when necessary. Make sure to use an area that is safe, secure and comfortable for them. Install baby gates to limit their access to any high traffic or high risk areas in your home. Be sure to puppy proof your home by removing any toxic plants, cleaning supplies, and small objects that could become a choking hazard for them.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. They are part of the Hound group, which also includes larger breeds like Beagles, Foxhounds, and Bloodhounds. Though their small size makes them perfect for cuddly companionship, they actually have an energetic, commanding, and tenacious personality that has earned them the nickname "sausage dog" or "wiener dog." They can fit in any size home, and their low-maintenance grooming routine makes them the perfect pet for the busy pet parent that is short on time.
How much exercise your Dachshund should get depends on its age and individual needs; however, you should aim for at least 30 minutes of walking daily. When you're walking your furry friend, let their activity level determine the length of the walk. When it's warm outside, make sure they have plenty of breaks to drink water and cool off. While you can take them for a couple longer walks per day, for optimal health, it is best to split the time up into shorter walks throughout the day.
Generally, Dachshunds can have good relationships with the right types of children. This breed is quite social and loves attention, but their small size and delicate nature can make them sensitive to kids that are too rough. In addition, given that the Dachshund breed is typically quite independent and can be a bit stubborn, they may not always want to follow commands from children. As such, it is important to make sure that interactions between kids and Dachshunds are supervised to ensure the safety and happiness of both parties.
Dachshunds are an intelligent breed that can quickly learn new commands and tricks. Research studies have reported they have the capability to interpret and remember not only visual cues but also human voice commands. Furthermore, they have an extremely high level of problem-solving skills and a strong desire to please their owners. Their overall intelligence is often underestimated due to their somewhat goofy and silly nature, yet these small dogs can prove to be surprisingly astute and capable of learning quickly. Indeed, dachshunds are a very smart breed of canine.
