Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of small-sized hound that originated in Germany during the 1600s. They are easily recognizable due to their long, narrow body shape and short legs. Dachshunds are typically classified as short-haired, long-haired, or wire-haired, depending on their coat type. This loyal, friendly breed is often great with families, making them popular companion animals. It is important to remember that Dachshunds need a moderate amount of exercises and lots of mental stimulation, in order to stay healthy and happy.
The Dachshund is a fascinating breed with a unique and attractive coat. Their fur is typically short and smooth, though there are some that boast a longer and somewhat wavier fur. A common coat type is the double-coat that offers medium length hair with an undercoat. Though the breed is most commonly associated with shades of red, black and tan, some unique varieties feature brindle, cream, and even piebald. Dapples are common and oftentimes may even create interesting patterns.
A Dachshund's diet should consist of high-quality, well-balanced dog food that is specifically made for small breeds. A small breed's meal should contain additional protein, fat, and other nutrients to fuel their highly active lifestyle and help build strong, healthy bones and muscles. For best results, you should feed your Dachshund several small meals throughout the day instead of one large one. Additionally, don't forget to supplement your pup's diet with plenty of fresh, clean water and provide plenty of chewable, digestible bones and other treats to help stay engaged and content.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can be an exciting experience that you will want to take your time doing. First, make sure to create a safe environment for your dog by doing things like installing a fence, making sure all household toxins and hazards are out of reach, and installing gates to separate large and small spaces. Second, research a little about the breed, so you can provide the specific care and attention your new dog needs. It could be a good idea to start with basic obedience training early on, as Dachshunds are known to be difficult to train when older.
Dachshunds, or 'sausage dogs,' can come in mini, standard, and kaninchen (rabbit) sizes. On average, a mini dachshund will be 6-9 inches tall and weigh between 11-16 pounds, a standard will be 12-32 pounds and 16-32 inches tall, and kaninchen will be between 5-7 pounds and 8-12 inches tall. Ultimately, the size of a dachshund will depend on a number of factors like its diet, activity level, and age.
Dachshunds are an active breed and require regular exercise to remain healthy and happy. Depending on its age and physical condition, a Dachshund should receive between 30 minutes to two hours of exercise daily. To maintain its health, it needs to have a combination of walks, romps in the yard, and any other activities you can think of that can get a Dachshund moving. Keeping its mind and body busy is important, ensuring the Dachshund stays healthy while also getting the meaningful exercise it needs.
Dachshunds can make great companions to children and can be an amazing family pet. Their small size and loyal nature make them better suited to households with older children, as they can be easily intimidated or overwhelmed. They are intelligent, easily trained, and capable of forming a strong bond with their family, including children. They can also be quite playful and curious, perfect for kids who love engaging with their pets. When training Dachshunds it's important to use positive reinforcement, rewards, and patience, as they can get distracted easily.
Absolutely, Dachshunds are smart and can easily learn new behaviors with the right instruction and reward system. They demonstrate intelligence through their eagerness to please their owners, their enthusiasm, and their ability to remember commands and form habits quickly. They are trainable, loyal, and independent, so they may become bored when not given tasks or commands by their owners. Dachshunds are also known for their resourcefulness and willingness to explore their environment.
