Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of canine that have a truly fascinating history. Dating back to the 17th century, these dogs were bred in Germany to hunt small animals like badgers and weasels. They have an amazing long body and short legs that enable them to easily fit into burrows and underground dens, an adaptation that makes them perfect for the task of flushing out their prey. They are also incredibly loyal and intelligent dogs, thriving on human companionship and adapting easily to new environments.
Dachshunds may appear to be non-shedding, but in reality they do shed. However, they may shed less than many other breeds of dogs due to their short hair. Shedding is normal for any animal with fur and even moreso for dogs, and Dachshunds are no exception. The amount of shedding they do can be managed with regular grooming and brushing. To reduce the amount of fur around the house, regularly vacuuming can help to retain the fur on the brush.
Yes, Dachshunds do have some special dietary needs to consider in order to maintain their health. In general, it's best to provide them with a balanced diet consisting of high-quality dry and wet food in order to provide essential nutrients and energy. Wet food can help keep them hydrated and moisten their kibble, while dry food helps keep their teeth clean. Additionally, Dachshunds may need supplements, such as vitamins, minerals, or omega-3 fatty acids, as well as regular dental chew treats to help promote healthy gums and teeth.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires you to commit to understanding your pup's needs, temperament and behavior. Staying informed about the breed's physical and mental characteristics is a great way to provide the optimum level of care. Spend time with your pup each day, bonding and getting to know one another so that you can better understand their needs and behaviors. Exercise is important to keep them healthy and prevent behaviors linked to boredom. Make sure to feed them the best diet possible and train them properly using positive reinforcement techniques.
Dachshunds typically come in two sizes: Standard and Miniature. A Standard Dachshund typically weighs between 16 and 32 pounds, standing 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder. A Miniature Dachshund typically weighs 11 pounds or less and stands between 5-6 inches tall. There is also a Toy version, which can weigh up to 12 pounds and is only about 4-5 inches in height. Additionally, within the breed there are three official coat types: Smooth, Longhaired, and Wirehaired.
Dachshunds are intelligent and active dogs that require a moderate level of exercise each day to stay healthy and happy. Regular exercise will help keep them in shape, reduce boredom, alleviate anxiety and encourage them to be well behaved dogs. In ideal circumstances, an owner should aim to provide their Dachshund with at least 30 minutes of exercise twice a day with some off-leash playtime and two good walks in a variety of stimulating places.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are renowned for being fantastic companions with children, thanks to their friendly and affectionate nature. They love nothing more than to play with their human friends, and they make great loyal and loving pets. While they may have a stubborn side, with proper training and socialization, a Dachshund can be a perfect family member. Plus, they are small in size, making them well-suited for households with young kids. So if you are thinking about bringing a loving companion into your home, a Dachshund is certainly a great option.
The amount of time you need to spend training your Dachshund each day will vary, depending on the age and individual nature of your pup. As a general guideline, you should aim to spend 10 minutes to rewarding behaviors you like and addressing behaviors you don’t want. You can also use this time to practice basic commands such as sit, stay, come, and leave. Depending on the progress you and your pup are making, you should also include 5 to 10 minutes of dedicated play time to keep the training session fun and engaging.
