Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of small hound dogs originating from Germany. They are known for their playful attitude and long slender body. Dachshunds come in two breeds short-haired and longhaired. They come in three coat colors red, black and tan, and a variety of patterns. Dachshunds are loyal and loving, making them great family pets. They may bark a lot but are easy to train with patience. Dachshunds are usually good with kids, but can be territorial when around other dogs.
The Dachshund's coat is typically comprised of a short, smooth outercoat with a dense, protective undercoat, giving it a distinctive sheen. Depending on the particular breed, these double coats may range from smooth to long hair. Additionally, many Dachshunds are available in a variety of different colors and patterns, including brindle, dapple, fawn, piebald, solid, and sable.
Dachshunds need a well-balanced diet to stay healthy and active. A quality kibble formulated for small breeds should be the main component of your dog's diet, supplemented with fresh fruits and vegetables, like blueberries, carrots, and pumpkin. You can also provide cooked white-meat lean proteins such as chicken, as a special treat. Lean ground beef and cottage cheese are also healthy options. Avoid giving your Dachshund fatty treats like processed meats, as they have a higher fat content that can lead to obesity and other health issues over the long term.
Dachshunds have a few special requirements that owners should be aware of. They are a highly active breed that require daily exercise and activity to stay healthy. Additionally, they do best when walked on a leash and not allowed to wander freely. They are also quite sensitive and require plenty of positive reinforcement, rewards, and love. Some Dachshunds have a tendency toward obesity, so it's important to maintain appropriate portion size and to ensure that your pup gets enough but not too much exercise.
Generally, a Dachshund puppy will reach its full size sometime between 12 and 18 months of age. The size of your pup will likely be anywhere from 8-9 inches in height when fully grown. However, if you have a standard Dachshund, they often reach heights of around 9-10 inches while miniature Dachshunds will typically reach heights of around 5-6 inches. Weight is impacted by the size of your pup's particular breed and you may find they are anywhere between 16-20 pounds when they reach full size.
Absolutely Dachshunds are lively and active dog breeds that love to get plenty of exercise, so taking your Dachshund for a run can be a great way to provide them with the physical activity they need. Before taking your pup out running, make sure they are fit enough for the activity by discussing it with a veterinarian. Also, remember that these dogs have disproportionately short legs and deep chests, so running can be harder for them.
Absolutely! Most Dachshund owners say their canine companion is a great addition to the family. Dachshunds are loyal, loving and eager to please, making them a delightful choice for those seeking a devoted companion. They thrive off daily interaction with their humans, which can include cuddling, playtime and belly rubs. Additionally, their small size makes them perfect for apartments or smaller homes. Not to mention, Dachshunds have entertaining personalities which can bring much laughter and joy to those who live with and love them.
