Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are full of interesting facts and fun quirks. According to the American Kennel Club, the breed has been around since the 1500s and was originally bred to hunt badgers and small game. Dachshunds are incredibly loyal and will often attach themselves to one person in particular. Further, these dogs have brave temperaments and have even been trained to detect cancer. Physically, they have elongated bodies with short legs, and their small size makes them easy to transport.
Dachshunds are not a non-shedding breed, however, they do minimal shedding compared to other, larger dogs. Their coats are typically very short and fine, which makes them easier to maintain and groom. While they are not as prone to shedding as some other breeds, expect your Dachshund to lose hairs daily and more during seasonal changes. The key to minimizing shedding is to brush your Dachshund regularly and keep their coats in good condition. Bathing and grooming with an appropriate shampoo can also help minimize shedding.
Dachshunds are prone to a condition known as 'Intervertebral Disc Disease', so it's important to be aware of what you feed them. Foods that should generally be avoided to ensure their health include chocolate and caffeinated drinks, onions and garlic, fruits and vegetables high in phosphorus, foods containing the sweetener xylitol, and raw or undercooked meat. Additionally, care should be taken to ensure that their diet has the right balance of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, and that treats are offered in moderation.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund requires some basic steps. First, it's important to puppy-proof the house, so fence off any valuable items which may be hazardous if chewed or scratched. Make sure to block off any areas which might be unsafe, such as stairwells or off-limits rooms. Next, consider a cozy bed for your pup. Look for a bed that's sturdy, well-padded and easy to clean. Finally, gather some supplies such as toys, treats, food and water dishes, a collar/harness, and a leash.
Dachshunds come in three sizes: Standard, Miniature and Kaninchen (or Rabbit). The original Standard Dachshund is typically 16 to 32 pounds and 16-32 inches tall. The Miniature Dachshund is 11 pounds or less with an average height of 8-11 inches at the shoulders. Kaninchen Dachshunds are the smallest size, typically weighing 4-5 pounds and measuring 6-8 inches tall. All three sizes come in Smooth, Wirehaired and longhaired varieties.
The amount of exercise time needed for your Dachshund depends on its age and health. An adult dog should get between 30 to 90 minutes of moderate exercise per day. Depending on your Dachshund's age and current physical abilities, a good rule of thumb would be to start with at least 30 minutes per day and work your way up to 90 minutes. A general rule is to space the walking times out throughout the day as physical activity in short increments is more beneficial to your dog's overall health and well-being.
Absolutely! Dachshunds make great family pets due to their good-natured personalities and enthusiasm. Despite their small size, they have an impressive level of energy and stamina that helps them keep up with active, outdoorsy families. They also form a strong bond with their owners and handle changes in routine, environment, and family dynamics with grace. Dachshunds also have a high tolerance level for children and won't mind being petted and played with. In short, their combination of intelligence, loyalty, and energy makes them an excellent fit for families of all sizes and ages.
Absolutely--Dachshunds are highly intelligent dogs! They possess a strong sense of loyalty and an eagerness to please, two traits that make them quick learners. Dachshunds are very observant and can pick up new behaviors or tricks relatively quickly. They are known for their problem-solving skills and can identity patterns or cause-and-effect scenarios in no time. Given the right training, these dogs can be taught complex tasks quickly and efficiently. Dachshunds are courageous and independent, and have the inner drive to accomplish their goals.
