Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied, and playful breed of dog originating in Germany. The word "Dachshund" is a combination of the German words for badger ("Dachs") and hound ("hund"). Dachshunds come in two sizes and three different coat types: smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired.
Dachshunds typically have low to moderate shedding levels, making them less prone to shedding compared to other breeds. Their long, wiry coats are easily maintained but require regular grooming to prevent the hair from matting and tangling. Additionally, there are ‘hairless’ varieties of Dachshunds that have been created through genetic modification and do not shed hair at all. These hairless Dachshunds typically require more maintenance due to their sensitive skin, and they must be bathed more frequently than coated Dachshunds.
Dachshunds should not be fed certain human foods such as garlic, onions, grapes, and chocolate. Additionally, they should not be fed raw meats or fish, as they can contain bacteria, viruses, and parasites. They should also not be fed bones, as they can splinter and cause choking or intestinal blockage. Finally, it is not recommended to feed your Dachshund dog treats or table scraps, as it can cause health issues. Instead, a nutritionally balanced diet is recommended in order for them to stay health and fit.
Yes, Dachshund do have special requirements. Since they are an active breed, they need to be taken on regular walks, ideally one long walk and several shorter ones, as well as given plenty of playtime and space to run. If they are not properly exercised, they can become frustrated, destructive, and disobedient. They are intelligent, so challenge them with obedience training, such as learning basic commands. Because they are small, it is especially important to handle them properly and provide them with supportive bedding and a warm spot.
Yes, Dachshunds are classified as a small breed dog. They typically grow to no larger than 16 inches in height and an average size weighs between 16 and 32 pounds. Their long bodies, short legs and big ears make them stand out from other breeds, and their spunky personalities often capture the hearts of dog owners. Dachshunds are lively and playful, with a clever and courageous spirit. While the breed does require training, these dogs are generally quite gentle and make wonderful pets.
Walking your Dachshund for at least 30 minutes a day will help them stay fit and healthy. Exercise is important for all breeds of dogs, and Dachshunds are no different. Depending on your dog's age, health, and activity level, you may need to adjust the amount of time you spend walking them. If your Dachshund is younger and/or in good health, you can increase the amount of time you walk them to 45 minutes or more.
Yes, Dachshunds are great family dogs and usually get along well with children. They have a playful and cheery temperament, which makes them a wonderful companion for kids in their household. Though, like all dogs, it is important for the Dachshund to be trained well in terms of respecting boundaries and understanding good behavior. As long as these basic foundations are established, chances are good that the Dachshund and the child will form a lasting bond with each other.
Training a Dachshund is possible, but it requires time and patience. The best way to start is to form a strong bond with your pet and develop a consistent and positive training routine. When it comes to potty-training, plan appropriate times and locations for your pup to do their business. Have patience and reward them for good behavior. Also, training your Dachshund to learn commands is a great way to show your pet who's the boss and help prevent bad behaviors. Keep each training session short and interesting.
