Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also known as "wiener dogs" or "sausage dogs", are small but brave hunters known for their characteristic long, low-slung bodies. Some fun facts about the breed include: they have a strong sense of smell; they come in three sizes (standard, miniature and kanilyn); they can be trained to hunt, make great therapy dogs and generally love people, especially children. They're also one of the few breeds that can actually do well in both cold and warm climates.
The Dachshund is known for its short, smooth, and sleek coat. Generally, this pup has a solid-color coat that comes in hues of black, tan, red, and cream, with occasional patterns. The undercoat is often dense and soft to the touch, while the outer coat is thicker and protects the pup from any environmental factors. Depending on the breed, the length of the coat can be more wiry or even slightly fluffy. In addition to its lovable appearance, this breed should be groomed regularly to help keep its coat clean and healthy.
Dachshunds should not be given nuts, seeds, popcorn, avocado, human foods such as chocolate, or anything that may contain the sweetener xylitol. Giving a Dachshund food with high fats and oils should also be avoided, as this can result in issues such as obesity or pancreatitis. Furthermore, bones of any kind are a no-no, as they can splinter and cause injuries, or even worse, pass through the intestines and cause blockage. All treats should be moderated, as feeding too many can also cause health issues.
Before bringing home a Dachshund puppy, there are certain essentials to purchase. The most important of which is a good quality food and treat that will provide the complete nutrition your pup needs to grow into a healthy, happy pet. Additionally you will need to pick up some toys, bowls, collar and leash, grooming supplies, and a bed or crate for your pup to feel safe and secure. And of course, don't forget the quality puppy training to get your pup off to the best start – training to help raise a well-adjusted, behaved, and lovable pet.
Dachshunds typically range in size based on three variations – standard size, miniature, and kaninchen (the "rabbit" size). Standard Dachshunds typically weigh 16 to 32 pounds and measure 8 to 9 inches in height. The miniature variation can be up to 12 pounds and 5 or 6 inches in height. The kaninchen size is usually 11 pounds or less and measures 4 to 5 inches in height. All variations of the Dachshund breed are considered small in size, compared to other types of dogs.
Absolutely! Dachshunds make excellent running partners, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind. As with any breed, you'll need to ensure that your Dachshund is in good health and that you start the running routine gradually to ensure your dog doesn't get over tired or injured. Make sure to always check the temperature outside as well, as Dachshunds do not do well in extreme heat.
Yes, Dachshunds usually get along well with other pets. They are typically social and friendly dogs, and they typically enjoy interacting with other animals. In most cases, they make great companions for other (even much larger) pets. However, the success of having multiple pets in the home will ultimately depend on the individual dog's temperament as well as its socialization during its puppy development stages. As with any kind of multi-pet home, consistent and ongoing proper training is key to ensure all household pets get along peacefully.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience, though it does require commitment, patience, consistency, and a good training plan. Depending on the individual Dachshund and the training objectives set forth, no two training paths will be the same. It is important to think carefully about what kind of behaviors and skills you are looking to train and incorporate those objectives into a plan. Additionally, it is important to remember that Dachshunds have their own personalities and may need an alternate approach than traditional training protocols.
