Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an entertaining breed with many surprising and interesting facts. They were originally bred as scent-hunting dogs for badgers; their unique short legs were designed to help them fit in tight, dark burrows. Despite their short legs, Dachshunds can be surprisingly speedy; they have several agility titles to their names. All dogs of this breed share long backs relative to their body size and can be found in four distinct coat varieties: smooth, wirehaired, longhaired, and wirehaired.
Dachshunds do shed, though not as extensively as some other breeds of dog. They typically drop some fur throughout the year, particularly during the spring and fall when the weather is changing. However, the amount of shedding is highly variable, and some dogs may shed more or less than others. Regular grooming and maintenance is key to ensuring a healthy coat and reducing the amount of loose hair. Brushing your Dachshund once or twice a week is often sufficient to keep the shedding at a minimum.
Dachshunds are small, lively dogs that need a nutritionally balanced diet. Generally, their diet is made up of high-quality canine food that is specifically formulated for their age, activity levels, and health. This food should include proteins, carbs, sweet potatoes, quality fats, blueberries, apples, carrots, spinach, and other vegetables. To provide optimal nutrition for your pup, premium dog food with grain-free, organic, or natural ingredients should be chosen when possible.
Preparing for a new Dachshund is an important step to ensure their needs are met and they become a well-adjusted part of the family. It’s important to purchase all necessary supplies such as a dog crate, toys, food and water dishes, collar and leash, and any potty training materials. Additionally, devote some time to researching the specific needs of Dachshunds. Speak with your vet, family, and friends who have Dachshunds for helpful advice.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered to be small dogs. This breed of dog has an average weight of up to around 32 pounds, with the smallest Dachshunds weighing no more than 11 pounds. Dachshunds can fall into two size categories: standard and miniature. Standard size Dachshunds can reach lengths between 16 and 32 inches and Miniature Dachshunds are usually between 8 and 11 inches long. The height of a Dachshund can range from 5 to 9 inches tall.
Dachshunds need ample exercise and should be taken on 45-minute walks each day. There should also be time throughout the day for them to engage in outdoor and indoor play activities to keep them healthy and active. Dachshund owners should aim to plan for two play sessions a day, since this breed of dog has a lot of energy and loves to explore. If weather prevents daily outdoor walks, make sure there is an indoor space such as a long hallway for your pup to exercise and stay stimulated.
Dachshunds are generally considered to be good with children provided they have been properly socialized as puppies and receive proper training. They have a gentle nature and their small size can make them less intimidating to children than some other larger breeds. Dachshunds have great energy and are known for being incredibly affectionate, playful, and curious. They enjoy interacting with their families and can form close bonds with children. However, it's important to supervise all interactions between children and dogs and teach children how to respect and treat animals properly.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding task for both you and your pup. The key to success is early and consistent training, positive reinforcement, and lots of patience. With any type of training for any breed, it's important to start small and keep training sessions short. Treats are a great motivational tool for your Dachshund. When introducing a behavior, repeat the same command or hand signal consistently and follow up with the desired reward. Try to create a consistent learning schedule so your Dachshund knows when to expect training time.
