Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of dog known for its distinctive long and low physical features. They typically weigh between 16-32 pounds and are not what most people would consider a traditional “large” breed of dog. Dachshunds have a strong, muscular body with short legs and a long, droopy tail which they are known to carry high. Although they may be small, their personalities are anything but! They are tenacious by nature and always want to explore. Because of their inquisitive nature, they typically get into trouble more often than other breeds.
The Dachshund's coat is short, solid-colored, and sleek. It often corresponds with the color of their eyes and can also come in various patterns and colors such as black and tan, red, gray, or even a mix. The coat of a Dachshund is thick, dense, and a perfect protector from rain, cold, and sun. Additionally, a Dachshund's coat can be slightly wavy or curly depending on its origins.
Dachshunds have a robust appetite and can thrive on a variety of foods. Depending on your pup's size, they can require anywhere from over 700 to 1600 calories a day. From dry kibble to canned wet food, Dachshunds prefer a high-quality food that includes nutritious ingredients like whole grains, protein from meat, fruits, and vegetables. Some opt for a raw diet of easier-to-digest fresh produce, raw meat, and bone meal, however, it is important to do your research as to what is best for your pup.
Dachshunds have a few specific needs that their owners should be aware of. First, it is important to provide ample exercise so that they can maintain their physical health and mental well-being, as well as reducing boredom and destructive behavior. They also need regular, consistent training and socializing as puppies to ensure they develop good behaviors as adults. Dachshunds may also require extra care for their distinctive back to avoid spinal issues, so owners should be aware of proper body mechanics for lifting their canine companion.
Dachshunds may not be considered big dogs compared to other canine breeds but they can be quite long. Generally, a standard Dachshund is about 8 to 9 inches tall and can reach up to 16 inches long. Thus, while a standard Dachshund may not be considered "big," they certainly can be quite substantial in size and bring a lot of joy and companionship. Additionally, a larger Dachshund, such as a miniature Dachshund, can reach nearly twice the size and may bring an even bigger presence.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running, but they can't run as far or as fast as some other breeds. An adult Dachshund typically only needs 30 to 45 minutes of exercise per day and can generally walk about two miles per day. If you take your Dachshund too far, it can lead to exhaustion and injury. It's best to start with shorter outings and gradually increase the length of time and distance that the Dachshund runs.
Dachshunds make wonderful family pets! This breed of dog is known for its loyalty and strong bond with its owners. They are also quite active and require a good amount of daily exercise. Dachshunds are intelligent and learn quickly, so they appreciate having plenty of interesting something to occupy their minds, like learning tricks and participating in activities with their family. Additionally, since they are quite small, they may be a better fit for smaller spaces. Dachshunds enjoy being around their families and will often follow their owners from room to room.
Training a Dachshund can be a challenge, but it is possible with commitment and patience. They are often intelligent and learn quickly, but they can be quite stubborn and independent. Having a consistent routine for training is key; you always want to reward desired behaviors and correct any misbehavior in the same manner. Training should take place on a regular basis, and you may need to break daily activities into smaller tasks in order to keep your pup’s attention and progress steadily.
