Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of a small-sized canine that belongs to the hound family. This dog is known for its distinctive, long body and short legs that give it an appearance of a wide, low-to-the-ground pooch. The breed is originally from Germany, where its name actually means “badger dog”. These dogs are incredibly loyal, friendly, spunky and courageous.
The coat of a Dachshund is generally short, smooth, and shiny. They are double-coated dogs, meaning that they have an outer coat of longer, stiffer hairs, and a softer, denser inner fur coat. The hairs of the coat can be straight or wavy, but they should never be curly. These dogs come in a variety of colors, including black and tan, red, chocolate, wild boar, and badger-like coat combinations.
Dachshunds should not be fed anything that is fatty, sugary or highly processed. Also, avoid foods with rapid sugar release like starchy potatoes, pasta and bread, and opt instead for healthy carbs like quinoa, brown rice and sweet potatoes. Chocolates, grapes, onions, garlic and raisins are all poisonous, while cooked bones can splinter and become a choking hazard, so foods such as these should be avoided at all costs. Consider variety in their diet, as this will help to ensure that they receive the best possible nutrition and are maintaining the proper weight.
If you're looking to bring a Dachshund into your life, there are some essential things that you should go ahead and purchase beforehand. First, you'll need a comfortable bed for them to get some restful sleep each night. Additionally, a leash and collar (or harness) will help you to bring them outside for walks or bathroom visits. Some toys will also be great to entertain them throughout the day.
Dachshunds typically stay small, but the size of your pup will vary depending on factors like genetics and gender. Adult Dachshunds usually range between 8-9 inches in height at the shoulder and weigh between 12-18lbs, but there can be variation from pup to pup. Generally, Dachshunds that are bred for conformation competition are bigger, while those bred for performance may be on the smaller side.
Dachshunds can certainly be comfortable in the water, although it largely depends on the individual pooch. Some Dachshunds take to the water naturally and can even become proficient swimmers with the right encouragement. Other Dachshunds, however, may need a bit more prodding or even dislike the water altogether. The best way to establish if a Dachshund is averse to swimming is to introduce it to the water gradually, starting off with calm, shallow areas where the water slowly stills.
Dachshunds can make wonderful family pets! They have lively personalities that can help keep family members entertained, and they are usually good with kids. They are generally friendly and loyal to their owners, making them great companions, and while they are small dogs, they can be quite fearless. Dachshunds are bred to be hunters so they are usually quite active and require regular exercise as well as plenty of mental stimulation. Keeping them socialized with plenty of interaction and playtime is key to having a well-behaved family pet.
The amount of time you need to dedicate to training your Dachshund each day depends on a variety of factors. Generally, for puppies and younger dogs, you should plan to devote at least 10-15 minutes of focused training time a day. The more mature the dog, the less time is required, although there should still be daily reinforcement of basic commands, rewards for good behavior, and correction for teachable moments. As the dog matures, you must also make sure that constructive playtime is part of their daily routine.
