Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied breed of hound. They were originally bred to hunt badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals in Europe, centuries ago. A Dachshund is playful and has a loyal, feisty, and curious nature. They make excellent family companions and watchdogs. They come in a variety of colors and coats, including; smooth, long-haired, and wirehaired. The breed is most recognized for their short legs and long, muscular body.
The Dachshund coat is short, yet silky, with its coat lying close to the body. Variations of the breed may have a longer, wavy outer coat, with a softer, shorter undercoat. Colors may include black and tan, chocolate and tan, wild-boar, cream, red, blue, brindle, fawn, and piebald. The texture of the Dachshund coat is in good condition when groomed regularly and their coats are low to non-shedding.
Dachshunds require a diet tailored to their small size and specific dietary needs. Depending on its age, size, and activity level, a balanced diet for your Dachshund should include a combination of high-quality dry food, animal fats, digestible protein sources, fresh vegetables, and occasional treats. Adult Dachshunds should not consume too much fat, and their food should be low in calcium and phosphorus. Avoid overfeeding and provide fresh water daily.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special requirements that one should be aware of before committing to the breed. Due to their long back, Dachshunds should not be allowed to jump off of furniture or participate in activities that create high impacts on their joints, as this can lead to health issues later on. They should also be provided with regular exercise to help strengthen their joints. Additionally, Dachshunds should be kept on a healthy diet with glucosamine supplements that will promote good joint health.
Dachshund puppies can vary in size depending on a few factors such as breed, sex, and family lines. Generally speaking, an adult miniature Dachshund will normally grow to between 8 and 11 inches tall and weigh between 11 and 16 pounds, while a standard Dachshund will typically grow to between 15 and 20 inches tall and weigh somewhere between 15 and 35 pounds. In order to accurately estimate the size your specific puppy will reach, it is best to contact a trusted breeder who can provide more precise information.
Yes, Dachshunds are active dogs! They generally have an abundance of energy and require regular exercise to lead a full and healthy life. Not only do they need a daily walk or two, but they also benefit from engaging in play. This helps to keep them mentally stimulated while having fun. However, proper care must be taken to ensure they don't over-exert themselves they are small dogs so can tire quickly. Pursuing activities at their own pace, such as Frisbee or agility training, offer incredible opportunities for owners to bond and stay active together.
Typically, Dachshunds can get along quite well with other pets, particularly if they are socialized from a young age. These dogs can be very friendly and adapt quite well to a new environment with other animals. It's important to remember that any pet, no matter the breed, will need adequate training and supervision to ensure that all animals in the home are living harmoniously. With proper training, socialization, and care, Dachshunds can make wonderful companions for other pets in the home.
The amount of time that you need to spend training your Dachshunds each day depends on several factors, such as their age, training level, and attention span. Generally speaking, younger puppies will need to have shorter training sessions while older dogs may be up for longer training times. An ideal minimum amount of time that is recommended is 10-15 minutes per day, with the possibility of other added activities throughout the day. Certain tricks or more detailed commands may take several sessions to learn, so it is important to be consistent and review these commands often.
