Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are certainly a unique breed! They are known for their adorable long bodies and short legs, making them ideal for adventures in small spaces. Fun facts about Dachshunds include that they were originally bred to hunt badgers in Germany in the 16th century. It is also thought they earned the nickname “sausage dogs” because of their build.
Dachshunds are not considered to be non-shedding dogs. They may shed a small amount of fur, but it generally isn't enough to require regular maintenance. Despite their reputation for being low-shedding, they should still be groomed regularly to prevent mats and tangles in their coat. The amount a Dachshund sheds can differ based on the individual, as well as the season. Generally, they tend to shed more heavily during spring and summer. Regular brushing can help to keep their fur neat and help to prevent too much shedding.
Dachshunds should not be fed large amounts of fats, raw meats, bones, or some types of treats. As with all dogs, it is important to avoid giving them anything that is sweetened with xylitol, as this can be dangerous. Additionally, Dachshunds tend to be more meticulously groomed than other breeds, so it is important to make sure that they are not given food with artificial colourings, preservatives, or flavourings that can be harmful.
To properly prepare your home for a new Dachshund, there are a few important steps to take. First and foremost, it's important to make sure your home is dachshund-proofed. This means that you must check for any potential risks that could pose harm to your pup. Consider things like stairways, electrical cords, and any dangling objects which could be injurious. Secondly, assembling any necessary supplies and items beforehand. Get necessary items such as food, treats, bedding, collars, leashes, toys, and grooming items.
Determining the adult size of your Dachshund puppy can be challenging, however there are several factors that may affect the ultimate size of your pup. Typically, the breed can range between 8-9 pounds for a standard Dachshund, whereas Miniature varieties tend to weigh up to 11 pounds. The length of your pup may vary as well. Standard Dachshunds may be anywhere between 8-9 inches in length, while Miniature Dachshunds are usually 6-7 inches in length.
Dachshunds have mixed opinions when it comes to swimming. While some will happily jump into any available body of water, others are anxious and wish to keep away from any water activities. Many, however, do love splashing around and playing in the shallow water. Dachshunds are not as good of swimmers as other breeds, however, due to their short legs, so they need to be supervised closely if they are to engage in any sort of swimming activity.
Dachshunds can make wonderful family pets and they can be very sweet and loving with children. Generally speaking, they are patient and gentle creatures with a tendency to bond closely with their owners. Depending on the individual temperament, a Dachshund can be an excellent companionship choice for an active, loving family with children. Of course, as with any dog, it is important to closely supervise children's encounters with the dog and to train the dog to be well-behaved and respectful of the children in the family.
Dachshunds are often considered to be an intelligent breed of dog. They have the ability to comprehend instruction quickly and are by nature eager to please their owners. They are known to be independent thinkers which can manifest in stubbornness but when they have identified their owners as the source of all rewards, they become willing followers. Training sessions should focus on positive reinforcement techniques as consistency is key in the training process in order to effectively combine attention along with acceptable behaviors. Dachshunds are highly affectionate in nature and thrive on the companionship of their families.
