Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are quite unique! They are a long-bodied, short-legged breed of dog, developed to hunt small game, such as badger, rabbits and foxes. They are known for their independent spirit, strong-will, courage and intelligence and they have the same loyal and devoted personality that make other dog breeds so loveable. One of the most interesting things about Dachshunds is their array of coat colors, which range from the traditional black-and-tan to solid red, yellow, cream, chocolate, grey and even brindle.
Generally, Dachshunds are not considered to be non-shedding dogs. While Dachshunds do not produce a great deal of hair compared to some other breeds, they still shed year-round, which means they may not be ideal for those seeking a hypoallergenic companion. That being said, daily grooming and occasional brushing can help to keep some hair from becoming airborne, and while they may not be able to stay clean all the time, regular maintenance can help to keep the shedding to a minimum.
Dachshunds are omnivores, meaning they are able to eat a variety of both plants and animals. A balanced diet for them should include a variety of foods with proteins from meat, fish, eggs, and dairy as the basis of their meals. Fruits and vegetables like carrots, peas, and apples are also a great source of vitamins for your Dachshund. Additionally, owners may choose to supplement their pet's diet with commercially available pet food.
To properly prepare your home for your new Dachshund, you should start by puppy-proofing your living space. Make sure that small and hazardous objects are inaccessible to your dog and check for any potential dangers to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Additionally, consider setting up a dedicated, comfortable sleeping area, such as a dog bed, along with an area specifically meant for its feeding bowl and toys. Finally, it is important to give your new dog plenty of exercise to keep it physically and mentally stimulated, so map out walking routes and designate play areas to keep your pup engaged and active.
Dachshunds, sometimes referred to as 'sausage' or 'weiner' dogs, are generally considered small dogs because of their short legs, long body shape, and smaller size. However, their personalities can be quite big and they often like to take charge of their environment. Dachshunds have been known to bark, dig, and even challenge larger dogs, which can give them the illusion of being larger.
Dachshunds are energetic and active dogs, and typically need anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours of exercise per day. That could include walking, running, playing fetch, or any other type of activity you can think of to keep your pup moving and mentally stimulated. Consistent exercise is important for keeping your pup healthy and can help prevent some conditions associated with this breed, such as back problems. Providing plenty of exercise will help make sure your Dachshund leads a healthy and happy life.
Dachshunds are beloved small dogs that can make wonderful additions to any family; in fact, they are often referred to affectionately by their nicknames "hot dog" and "sausage dog." They are often quite loyal and loving with their families, and their small size makes them great apartment dogs for busy families. While they may initially be mobile and active, Dachshunds can fit right in with members of nearly any age group. With proper training, they can be incredibly obedient and even help child-members of the family learn to become responsible dog owners.
The amount of minutes per day required for training a Dachshund will depend on the age, breed, and temperament of the dog, as well as the specific training goals you have in mind. Younger dogs typically require more frequent and shorter training sessions, while adult dogs may require longer training times spread out throughout the day. Generally speaking, an hour per day is a good amount of time to dedicate to training a Dachshund, but this may change depending on the individual dog and the training program set in place.
