Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an interesting breed due to their unique body shape and lovable personalities. Their short legs and elongated body give them an amusing appearance and make them great lap-dogs. They're friendly and sociable, getting along well with children and other animals. Plus, they love to snuggle! They have an extraordinary sense of smell and amazing endurance, so they make excellent hunting dogs. They're also relatively low maintenance and come in a variety of stunning colors and coats.
While some might assume that Dachshunds do not shed, this is not the case. Dachshunds are technically considered to be coat-shedding dogs, meaning that they do shed their hair. However, their shedding tends to be lighter than many other dog breeds. Due to their short coats, they don't shed as much as those with a longer coat. Generally, it's not a huge problem if you faithfully groom your dog on a regular basis, as brushing them does a great job of removing any excess hair.
Dachshunds should not be fed cooked bones of any kind, as they can splinter and can potentially cause an intestinal blockage. Additionally, whole-kernel corn, chocolate, whole-wheat products, and large amounts of fatty products, sugar and salt can all provoke health issues in Dachshunds. Feeding a Dachshund can also pose special challenges due to their long bodies.
Yes, Dachshunds do often have specific needs and requirements that must be taken into consideration when caring for them. Generally, Dachshunds are an especially active breed and tend to benefit from frequent, daily exercise. Since they are a small breed who often suffer from back problems, extra care should be taken to prevent them from jumping from heights or becoming overly-stressed. Additionally, they have dietary needs that should be carefully adjusted over time, as a pup's nutritional needs change as it matures. As with any dog, regular grooming is important.
Dachshunds are not typically considered big dogs, as they are generally classified as a small or miniature breed. While they can vary in size, most measure between 5-8 inches at the shoulder and typically have a body length between 8-20 inches. Also, these dogs are known for their short legs and elongated bodies, making them appear even smaller than they really are. Therefore, while they may appear bigger than other small breeds, dachshunds are actually quite small and usually fit in the miniature class.
Dachshunds can be enthusiastic when it comes to swimming or taking a dip in the water, but many owners find mixed reviews on this topic. Some dogs may enjoy swimming as a source of exercise, while others may feel a bit intimidated by deep water and larger bodies of water. Not all Dachshunds will have the same reactions, so it's important to not assume that they all like to swim. It's best to approach water slowly and with an upbeat, reassuring attitude.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds typically get along with other pets as long as they are properly socialized. As with any breed, it is important to ensure that the pets have been exposed to each other in gradually increasing amounts of time before being left unsupervised. Of course, some Dachshunds may show aggression and they should not be left in the company of another animal that could result in a harmful situation. As with any family, it is important to introduce pets slowly, monitor their behaviors, and provide a safe, secure, and healthy environment for the entire family.
Dachshunds certainly have their own unique intelligence! Generally, they are independent thinkers with a hidden saucy streak that exhibits itself in the form of creative problem solving and hiding things around the house. They can be obedient, especially when training is done properly and consistently, and they can understand and remember simple commands. Additionally, Dachshunds can be very emotionally intelligent, forming strong bonds with their owners and other family members, as well as responding to their feelings. All in all, Dachshunds can be very intelligent and loving companions.
