Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have a unique physique which makes them renown̓ as one of the most interesting dog breeds. With their long muscle-packed, low-slung body shape and short stubby legs, they are instantly recognizable as ‘Sausage dogs’ and have a capacity for lots of love and affection combined with a clownish sense of mischief. Not only is their shape entertaining, but their unrelenting loyalty and intelligence has been displayed over centuries.
The Dachshund has a narrow, elongated body covered in a single coat. Its smooth, sleek fur is commonly seen in short-haired or longhaired varieties. While short-haired Dachshunds have a glossy, short coat, longhairs have a much denser, thicker fur. The fur is waterproof and can range in color anywhere from cream to black and red to silver. The Dachshund's ears are usually long, and its legs are usually short, giving it an iconic, recognizably dachshund look.
It depends on your Dachshund's individual needs. There are many foods available that are specifically formulated for Dachshunds, which may provide them with the optimal nutrition they require. These foods are typically high-protein, grain-free options that help support healthy joints, tendons, and bones, which are especially important for Dachshunds given their tendency to be prone to back problems. Additionally, look for a food with whole ingredients so that you're able to detect and avoid potential allergens.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires you to be informed about their needs and behaviors. Some important aspects to consider are proper diet and exercise, dog-proofing your home, providing daily mental and physical stimulation, and teaching obedience and socialization. For their diet, consult with your veterinarian to determine the right food and serving sizes for your Dachshund. Make sure to give them plenty of exercise with walks, jogs, or runs. Keep your house safe by removing hazardous items that your puppy can choke on or ingest.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on its breed as there are several varieties which typically range in size from standard to miniature. Generally speaking, Miniature Dachshunds, also referred to as ‘Tweenies’, are popular due to their small size at full maturity, typically weighing no more than 11 pounds or so. Standard Dachshunds on the other hand, can reach up to 32 pounds when fully grown.
Yes, absolutely. Dachshunds are an active breed of dog that can easily handle a short run, as long as it is done gradually and with plenty of breaks. Before running with your Dachshund, make sure it is healthy and up-to-date with all of its check-ups and vaccinations. A nice warm-up will also help it keep up good form. Start small by jogging around the block or taking a leisurely stroll in the park.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are affectionate and loyal to their owners, which makes them excellent family pets. They are also very social and thrive in households that have other people or dogs around. Dachshunds enjoy spending time with their families and are known for being funny and playful. They're great family dogs because they are easy to train and highly intelligent, making it easy for the whole family to understand and follow basic commands. Additionally, Dachshunds of all sizes are usually quite low-maintenance and do well with apartment living.
There are several steps to training a Dachshund. First, set up expectations and define boundaries for your pup. Give them specific commands that will help them learn proper behavior. Next, reward good behavior with treats and lots of verbal praise. This positive reinforcement will help the pup learn simple commands like sit, stay, and come. To deepen understanding of commands, repeat them in the same order and keep sessions short. Additionally, introduce the pup to simple agility activities to channel its energy, such as weaving through ladders or navigating jumps.
