Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most beloved canine breeds in the world! Here are some fun facts about them: they were initially bred in 17th century Germany to hunt badgers and other small animals, their name comes from the German word dachs meaning "badger" and hund meaning "dog", they come in two sizes standard and miniature and three coat types smooth, wire-haired and long-haired, their short legs and long bodies make them great diggers, and they can live up to 15 years with proper care.
Dachshunds are not known as non-shedding dogs. While they may not shed as heavily as other breeds, they still do shed to some degree. Dachshunds can have either short, smooth coats or longer, wiry coats, and the amount of shedding may depend on which type of coat your pet has. Generally, those with short coats tend to shed less than those with wire-coated fur. Regular brushing and occasional professional grooming can help reduce shedding.
Dachshunds are best served with a food that is rich in protein and fat to meet their higher energy requirements. The best dog food for Dachshunds would be one that is specifically designed for small-breed dogs with an increased protein and fat content. This type of food is designed to provide the vitamins and minerals that are important for Dachshunds. Additionally, it should also contain ingredients that are easily digestible in order to support their sensitive tummies.
Dachshunds do have some special requirements to make sure they stay healthy. Generally speaking, they require plenty of exercise, such as regular walks and playtime, as well as proper nutrition and an appropriate environment in which to thrive. Dachshunds have a longer back than other breeds, making it important to pay attention to the amount and intensity of exercise they receive, as too much can lead to an unhealthy spine. Additionally, it's important to groom their coat regularly and keep their nails trimmed, paying close attention to keeping their fur and ears clean to prevent infection.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on their breed—standard, mini, or toy. Standard Dachshunds weigh up to 32 pounds and can be up to 8 or 9 inches tall, while mini Dachshunds weigh up to 11 pounds and can be 5 to 6 inches tall. Toy Dachshunds are even smaller, usually only weighing six pounds and no more than 4 inches tall when full grown. No matter the size, your Dachshund puppy will always have the same lovable, playful personality.
Dachshunds generally enjoy being in the water and some even enjoy swimming, however breeders recommend not forcing a dog into the water. Older and younger Dachshunds may not enjoy swimming and should be monitored at all times when in the water. Although the breed is generally enthusiastic about being in water, it requires a slower and much more gradual introduction to the pool. Owners should strive to create a positive experience for their Dachshunds to ensure that they learn to associate swimming with fun.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds do get along with other pets, though they may develop a strong loyalty for just one person in their family and be less welcoming to other animals. It's important for them to spend time around other pets from a young age if possible, as this can make them more comfortable with the idea of sharing their space. That said, much like with humans, Dachshunds may experience some personality clashes with other animals and may need to be kept separate from particularly rambunctious or aggressive pets in homes with multiple species.
Yes, dachshunds are quite intelligent. They are easily trained, can be taught a variety of tricks, and may even alert their owners to suspicious activity or when someone is at the door. Because of their small size, they are also an ideal fit for small apartments and households, and can be easily taken for walks with the aid of a harness. Dachshunds are also incredibly loyal, forming strong attachments to their owners. This means that they may be a source of comfort and solace during hard times, or when their owners are feeling down.
