Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a delightful breed of dog from Germany that is small in build, yet bold and spirited. It has long, muscular hind legs, a stumpy tail, and a short, delicately curved body, and a long snout. The breed is most recognized by its unique pattern of colors that are generally black, tan, and rust, although some variations may have other shades. Dachshunds are very friendly and loving, making them excellent family pets.
Dachshund coats come in a variety of colors, depending on the breed. The three primary coat colors are red, black and tan. The red coat can range from reddish blonde to a deep mahogany tone, while the black coat is usually a dark gray or black in color. The tan ranges from a dark tan to a light cream. Dachshund coats also come in a variety of lengths and textures. Common lengths are short, medium, and long. Common textures are smooth, wirehaired, and long-haired.
The best dog food for Dachshunds depends on the individual pup's diet and overall health. Consider a high-quality kibble that is specifically formulated for small, overweight, or active pets. Look for a food that contains all the essential fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins for a balanced diet. Additionally, ensure that the food is made with whole-grains, vegetables, and proteins to provide your pup with the best nutrition possible. As you consider different food options, pay attention to its fat, fiber, and calorie content.
First, it is important to puppy-proof your home by removing any household hazards or items that can easily be chewed and swallowed. Ensure that your space is free of toxic plants, as your new pup may try to munch on them. Dachshunds are known to be practitioners of the "digging arts", so it may be a good idea to create a designated spot where they can burrow whenever they please. An even better idea is to invest in toys for your new pup and set aside time to get them into a consistent exercise routine.
Dachshunds are commonly referred to as small dogs due to their petite frame. Although there is no definite size for an official small dog, dachshunds generally stand between 15.5 and 32 cm at the shoulder and weigh between 2.7 and 10.9 kg. So, with their relatively small stature, they are usually placed into the small dog category. Interestingly, dachshunds come in three coat varieties; smooth, long-haired, and wire-haired, and two sizes; standard, and miniature.
Dachshunds can enjoy swimming but their bodies are not designed to be strong swimmers. While they may want to paddle around and have fun, it's important to be careful to ensure they stay safe. They don't have webbed feet and generally have heavier body weights, so deep water can be too much of a challenge. It's best to supervise closely and make sure the area you are swimming in is shallow, especially around the edges.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds make excellent family pets and do very well with kids! Their personality makes them more likely to respond positively to energetic and playful children, as they tend to be loving and loyal. Moreover, Dachshunds are very patient with their families, so it is likely that they will show patience in dealing with the children’s unexpected activity and behavior. Generally, they are very sociable animals that build strong bonds with everyone present in the home.
Yes, Dachshunds are known to be an intelligent breed. Known for their lively, affectionate, and courageous personalities, Dachshunds can not only be obedient, but make strong emotional connections to their owners. Their smartness is attributed to their natural ability to seek out prey, which has been honed over thousands of years of selective breeding. Dachshunds have the capacity to learn quickly and can retain information just as well as many larger breeds. They also display impressive problem solving skills.
