Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a lot of fun and make wonderful companions. They are known for their playful personality and unique physical traits. Here are some fun facts about them: Dachshunds come in a wide variety of colors and coat patterns, including piebald, brindle, and red. The fully grown adult size of dachshunds range from two different sizes, standard and miniature. Miniature dachshunds weigh no more than 11 pounds, while standard dachshunds typically weigh no more than 32 pounds.
While Dachshunds are generally known for their short and often fine coats which can make them seem non-shedding, the truth is that all breeds of dog tend to shed to some degree. Dachshunds in particular are known to moult seasonally, and may leave a considerable amount of fur around the home if not properly groomed. To help reduce shedding in a Dachshund, regular brushing is highly encouraged.
Dachshunds require a high-quality, balanced diet to stay healthy and happy. An ideal diet for a Dachshund should include a good quality protein source such as chicken, fish, or beef. Healthy carbohydrates, such as brown rice, oats, barley, and rye, provide a slow release of energy. Fruits and vegetables can be added to their meals toocarrots, apples, squash, and broccoli are all great options.
There are a few important steps to take when preparing for a new Dachshund. First, make sure your home is puppy proofed before your pup arrives. Secure electrical cords, tight cupboard doors, and move any plants or toxins out of reach. Second, gather all the necessary supplies such as dog food, toys, bedding and a leash with collar. Third, ensure their vaccinations are up-to-date and that you've made an appointment with the vet. Finally, research and establish a daily exercise and potty schedule to encourage good habits once your pup arrives.
While Dachshunds are a larger breed of dog, when considering size, they are still relatively small compared to other breeds. Depending on how they are measured, Dachshunds can range anywhere from 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder and anywhere from around 11 to 32 pounds, depending on whether a standard or miniature Dachshund is being measured. Clearly, a Dachshund is much smaller than a Rottweiler, a German Shepherd, or a Labrador Retriever. Their small size makes them great companion dogs.
Absolutely! Dachshunds have an innate need for activity, and although they may come off as more sedentary, these lovable dogs certainly have a lot of energy! Dachshunds were bred to be "earth dogs" which means they're designed to pursue small animals, such as rabbits, and dig for them in their underground lairs. This innate instinct means they need a daily outlet for their energy, such as regular walks, playtime, or outdoor activities. Plus, their size and breed characteristics make them great companions on almost any adventure.
Yes, Dachshunds typically get along well with children of all ages. They have a friendly and sweet-natured temperament that makes them great family pets. Dachshunds are usually very affectionate and love to cuddle and play with their humans, especially children. With their small size, they are the perfect size for playtime and snuggles. As always with any pet, it's important to introduce children to the dog correctly and spend time teaching the children how to interact with and treat the dog properly.
Dachshunds are known for their remarkable intelligence, with many owners claiming they are as bright and intelligent as other breeds. In fact, their intelligence has earned them proverbs like, "To hold a dachshund in esteem is to honour a clever dog." Furthermore, Dachshunds are quick learners and excel at problem-solving tasks, demonstrating their ability to pick up new skills quickly. They have also been known to learn hand signals, making them easier to train than some other breeds.
