Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed that is sure to capture the interest of any pet lover. Their long and low body type makes them extremely agile, allowing them to wiggle and slink their way through even the tightest spaces. They are also incredibly curious, always keen to investigate their surroundings and brave enough to tackle small problems head-on. This courageous side is balanced out with a mellow vibe, as well as a sense of loyalty and dedication to their owners.
No, Dachshunds are not non-shedding. Unfortunately, these delightful little dogs have a double coat that does shed throughout the year. However, regular brushing and grooming can help reduce the amount of shedding. Not to worry, though! A little bit of extra hair here and there is all part of the charm of owning a Dachshund. As long as you're prepared to do a bit of extra vacuuming and possibly invest in plenty of lint rollers, a Dachshund can still make a great addition to your family.
The best dog food for a Dachshund will depend on their lifestyle, age and weight. Generally, a diet composed of proteins like chicken, beef, fish, eggs and vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes and leafy greens are a good choice. Look for food specifically formulates for Dachshunds as well, such as dry kibble with smaller shapes to make eating crunchy food easier. You might also consider a food that has added vitamins and minerals, depending on your pup's needs.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can be a very exciting time! To ensure that your Dachshund is healthy and happy, you should make sure you have the necessary supplies. Be sure to have a collar and leash, as well as any medications that your Dachshund may need. You should also consider a crate if you plan to leave your Dachshund alone for any length of time. Additionally, it is important to ensure that your home is suitable for a Dachshund.
Dachshunds come in two sizes standard and miniature. A standard dachshund is usually considered to be between 16 to 32 pounds in weight and 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder. The miniature version of this breed is smaller, usually from 11 to 16 pounds in weight and 5 to 6 inches tall at the shoulder. Typical sizes within each of these categories can vary greatly, depending on the specific bloodline.
Yes, many Dachshunds enjoy swimming. Some will even completely submerge their nose and ears while swimming! Not all Dachshunds take to swimming right away, however, as the breed is naturally leery of deep water. With gentle guidance and patience, most will learn to appreciate a nice swim in the lake, pool or ocean. A secure, safe environment that allows them to feel comfortable and in control are necessary for water enjoyment.
Yes, Dachshunds are usually good with kids when properly socialized and trained. They are intelligent, loyal and friendly dogs that enjoy spending time with their families, including children. However, some Dachshunds can get anxious around small children, so it's important to properly acclimate them by introducing them to different environments, people, and situations early on in their development. Also, as with any dog, supervision is always required when children and dogs are together to ensure the safety of both.
Dachshunds are intelligent and perceptive dogs who are known for their loyalty, resilience, and occasionally their independent nature. They can be trained to obey commands like any other dog breed, but they tend to forget what they've learned easily. With consistency and patience, however, they can learn tasks and tricks in the same manner as other breeds. Dachshunds can be especially sensitive to their owners' emotions; they will often bond with one specific family member, and may even understand spoken commands in certain cases.
