Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a popular, distinctive breed of dog and belong to the hound class. While usually known for their long bodies and short legs, they can come in a variety of sizes and colors. Dachshunds are bred as both working and companion dogs and can have either short hair, long hair, or wire hair. They have a strong desire to hunt, making them good scent-followers and retrievers, as well as friendly companions. Those characteristics make them an ideal family pet, and even more suitable for people looking for a loyal companion.
A Dachshund's coat is typically short, smooth, and shiny with little maintenance or grooming required. Depending on the variety, the coat can come in a variety of colors ranging from black, brown, tan, or red, with possible mix of these colors. The markings on the coat include saddle, brindle, dapple, and piebald. The Dachshund's undercoat is soft and thick, providing great insulation. They also have long, tapered ears, almond-shaped eyes, and short legs that make them a distinct-looking breed.
Dachshunds should not be given large amounts of food, as they are prone to obesity and can end up with back problems or other health issues if they are overweight. They should not be given anything with caffeine, as that can be very dangerous for their heart. Other foods to avoid are grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, onions, garlic, chocolate, sugar, and anything with added salt or sugar. Additionally, any table scraps, as they can be fattening or contain ingredients that are unsafe.
Yes, Dachshunds have some specific needs that are important for their owners to take into account. For one, their short legs mean that they need to be kept at a certain weight obesity can cause serious health risks since their bodies have trouble efficiently supporting such a weight. In addition, Dachshunds need proper exercise to make sure that their bones grow properly and don't cause joint issues. When not walked regularly, such as in a home setting, other activities should be employed involving exercise such as agility training, or play with special toys like Kongs that can hold treats.
Dachshunds are indeed classified as small dogs, as their average adult size is around 11-12 inches. They typically weigh in at around 10-15 pounds. Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt badgers and other burrowing animals and so they have short legs and long bodies which gives them a rather unique physique compared to other breeds of dogs. While their size tends to make them appear cute and cuddly, Dachshunds can be a bit feisty and are considered to have an independent streak.
Dachshunds have an ambiguous opinion on swimming. While some may find it delightful to take a plunge, others may dislike it or even be scared of it. It really depends on the individual Dachshund. Some canines may enjoy a nice dip in a water trough or a long swim in the lake, while others may find it to be an intimidating experience. Since water is heavier than air, the body shape of the Dachshund could create more resistance and fatigue, so they might not be able to stay in the pool for very long.
Dachshunds can be an ideal family dog and make for a great addition to households with children. Although Dachshunds are quite small, they are known for being friendly, loyal, and loving companions. They also tend to be high energy and enjoy playtime with children. While their small size gives them an advantage of being non-threatening to younger kids, they may be too excitable and sometimes nip when they are over-stimulated. With proper guidance and socialization, they can do very well with children and even become quite attached.
It depends on the age and skill level of the Dachshund that you are training. Generally speaking, puppies may require up to 15-20 minutes of structured training per day, while an adult Dachshund may require 30 minutes per day. If you are dealing with an especially active and energetic Dachshund then up to an hour of activities may be necessary. The activity can be broken up into several sessions throughout the day if needed. Regardless, training your pup should always be kept upbeat and positive to ensure the best results for both you and your pup.
