Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a type of hound belonging to the dog breed class. With a mischievous and playful disposition, these canines are known for their long, low stature and short legs, making them perfect for families with small children. The breed is known for their hearty bark and courageousness, as well as for being great companions. Dachshunds come in a variety of colors and coats, including smooth, long, and wirehaired, as well as a variety of markings including dapple and brindle.
Dachshunds have a unique double-layer coat that comes in a variety of colors. The inner layer is soft and thick, protecting the dachshund's skin from the weather. The outer layer is short, fine, and lies flat against the body. This breeds unique look is why they are often referred to as "sausage dogs". They also have a tendency to shed quite heavily, so regular brushing is key to keeping the coat looking healthy and in good condition.
Feeding your dachshund the wrong food can be dangerous and cause health issues. It’s best to avoid giving them table scraps, processed treats, or any type of chocolate, as these types of food will not provide balanced nourishment. Many human foods are not safe for pets, such as onions, garlic, & grapes, and so should not be given to dachshunds. Rawhide and bones, while often given to dogs, can be dangerous for dachshunds as they have a heightened risk of choking because of their build.
Start by researching the breed to make sure you have a full understanding of their needs, trainability,and health issues that may arise. Then, begin gathering the necessary items you'll need to give your puppy a great start, such as an appropriate sized crate for training, food, toys, collar, and a leash. Also, be sure to locate a trusted veterinarian to visit for necessary vaccinations and wellness checks. Make a plan for socialization and training classes for your puppy; you want to be sure they are well adjusted and have the proper skills to become a well-mannered pup.
Dachshunds typically are not considered to fall into the category of 'big dogs', as they generally fall into the toy or small breed category. They are a bit longer than tall, with a long body, short legs and a distinctive snout. Depending on the type, they can vary in size, with standard Dachshunds usually weighing 16-32 pounds, miniatures measuring 11 pounds and under and the miniature-tek weighing 11-15 pounds.
Dachshunds can certainly enjoy swimming, given the right environment. Generally, they are strong swimmers and may even take to the water naturally. They may need to be trained as to how to safely enter and exit the water. Dachshunds require appropriate supervision and flotation devices to help them swim if they get too tired. While some dogs can swim just for the fun of it, many Dachshunds may be more cautious and will need encouragement to get used to the water.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are known for their affectionate and loyal natures, making them a great choice for first-time owners. They are also fairly low maintenance, only needing daily exercise and regular brushing. As they can be quite alert and vocal, they make excellent watchdogs. However, they require plenty of attention, and being left alone for long periods can lead to behavioral issues. Dachshunds need a firm but kind hand when it comes to training so that they may become obedient and well-mannered companions.
The amount of minutes per day needed to train Dachshunds will vary depending on their age and past experiences, as well as the goals of the training. Generally, it's best to start with shorter training sessions and gradually increase the length as the dog becomes more accustomed to the routine. A good rule of thumb is to start with five to 10 minutes and then add a few minutes every few days. In general, Dachshunds do best with around 30 to 45 minutes of training per day.
