Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small hound dog breed, originating from Germany, characterized by their short legs, long bodies, and standout ears. Their loyalty, intelligence, and active personalities make them an excellent choice for companionship. They are the consistent top choice for those looking to bring a small breed pup into their home and can often be found with young children and seniors alike. Dachshunds are very dog-reactive and thrive in a pack environment, making them relatively easy to train.
Dachshunds are not non-shedding breeds. However, there are some variations in coat type and length that make the amount of shedding differ from one breed to another. Generally speaking, breeds with thicker coats, such as longhaired Dachshunds, tend to shed more than those with smoother or shorter hair. In addition to seasonal shedding, daily brushing and occasional stripping or trimming will help keep shedding to a minimum and properly maintain your Dachshund's coat.
It is generally best to avoid feeding your Dachshund table scraps and people food, as they are often high in unhealthy fats, sodium, or sugar. Furthermore, it’s also important to avoid giving your Dachshund bones, especially cooked bones, as they can be a choking hazard. Additionally, avoid giving your Dachshund any foods high in carbohydrates, as they can lead to health issues.
Dachshunds are generally active and friendly dogs, however, they do have some specific requirements that can serve their well-being. Firstly, they need daily exercise. Without it, they can become destructive and restless, and may also experience health issues. Additionally, dachshunds need to be groomed regularly, as they can be prone to skin issues. They should also be kept out of hot weather to prevent overheating. Lastly, dachshunds are prone to back issues, and so should not be allowed to jump off furniture or other high surfaces.
Dachshunds generally reach an average of 8-9 inches when measured from the paws to the shoulder blade. Their average weight tends to range from 16-32 pounds, depending on their size whether it be standard, miniature, or even teacup. Standard size and miniature Dachshunds tend to be considered small-sized dogs; however, the teacup variety is a much more petite breed. Regardless of which size you may be looking for, a Dachshund will bring full-sized personality and energy to your home.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running. Dachshunds are well known for being one of the most energetic breeds and love to get their exercise. However, it's important to keep your pup's size in mind and start with shorter and more manageable runs—Dachshunds are not quite as well suited for long-distance running as their larger counterparts. After some warm-up and stretching, you should be able to share a comfortable, enjoyable running experience with your pup.
Dachshunds have great personalities and can be very loyal and affectionate family members, making them great around children. Dachshunds can make wonderful playmates who are playful and loyal. Because Dachshunds are smaller than many breeds, they don’t have the same instinct to be overly rough. However, it is important to keep in mind that any small dog can be injured if handled too roughly.
Training a Dachshund can vary significantly depending on the dog's age, training experience, and personality. Generally speaking, most Dachshunds need at least 30 minutes to an hour of instruction and practice time each day for optimal development. Though merely 15 minutes of training per day may still produce positive behavioural results, especially for young puppies, it's best to allot at least 30 minutes to make the most out of the training session and ensure that your pup learns the basics quickly and efficiently.
