Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a magnetic and lovable breed of dog with a long history of being beloved family pets. They were initially bred to hunt small game such as badgers and rabbits and are famously known for their short legs and long bodies. Some fun facts about Dachshunds are that they have excellent noses and are still used as hunting dogs in certain countries; they are also very intelligent and make great watchdogs. Dachshunds come in two sizes, standard and miniature, and in three coats: wire-haired, long-haired and smooth-haired.
Dachshunds do not shed much, but they are not completely non-shedding. While it is true that they produce significantly less fur than other breeds, a Dachshund's coat needs regular maintenance and brushing to minimize its shedding. It's best to brush a Dachshund's coat for at least 10 minutes two to three times per week to ensure that the dog's coat remains healthy and free of dead fur. Furthermore, Dachshunds with long coats may require more frequent brushing and a monthly trim to help reduce the amount of hair shed.
Dachshunds should not be fed anything that contains grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, garlic, onions, alcohol, salt, or sugary imports. This is important to remember, as these foods can be dangerous and cause illness. Additionally, foods like raw meats or eggs, dairy products, or meat-based bones should also be avoided. Overfeeding can lead to obesity, so it is important to monitor how much and what type of food you are feeding your Dachshund.
Becoming the best Dachshund parent requires your commitment to providing the best possible care and environment for your pup. Start by learning all you can about the diet, exercise needs, grooming requirements, and other important care aspects related to the breed. Also, ensure that your pup is properly trained to prevent behavioral issues. Establish yourself as the leader of the pack and give your pup plenty of love, attention, and affection. Stimulate your pup's mind to help prevent boredom which can lead to unwanted behaviors. Make sure to socialize your pup to improve their tolerance of different people and animals.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. The size of a standard Dachshund ranges from 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder and weighs between 16 and 32 pounds. A miniature Dachshund stands 5 to 6 inches at the shoulder and can weigh 11 pounds or less. Both sizes have the same shape, but the miniature Dachshund has proportioned features that are the same, just smaller. When selecting a Dachshund, it is important to consider personality rather than size, as the personality traits remain very similar regardless of size.
Dachshunds do generally enjoy water and may enjoy taking a dip in the pool or pond, however, the breed is not known for its swimming abilities. Other breeds are more suited for swimming due to having a stronger muscular system, webbed feet, and a water-resistant coat. Dachshunds don't have these features and are more likely to tire out quickly while in the water. Additionally, due to their long backs, Dachshunds may be at risk for back problems if they are engaging in frequent splashing in deep water.
Dachshunds are an intelligent, loyal, and affectionate breed of dog, so they typically do well with other pets. While Dachshunds are known to be particularly protective of their family, they can be socialized from a young age and trained to accept new animals whether cats, birds, or other dogs. The key is to make sure your Dachshunds are properly trained, socialized, and given plenty of positive reinforcement when they interact with other pets in a gentle and respectful way.
Training your Dachshund is a fun and rewarding experience! It's important to be consistent and patient when training and always give positive reinforcement to ensure best results. Before beginning, it's a good idea to research the breed and learn how to best approach their unique needs. Start with simple exercises such as sitting and coming when called and progress to teaching more challenging behaviors like walking on a leash without pulling. Positive reinforcement comes in many forms, such as treats, verbal praise or playing with a favorite toy. Make sure you keep the training short, no more than 10 to 15 minutes.
