Questions & Answers
One of the most interesting traits about Dachshunds is their genetic diversity. By crossing different coat colors and types, their breeders have been able to create a wide variety of appearances, from the classic long-haired and wire-haired varieties to miniature versions. Furthermore, these dogs have an interesting and unique body shape, with their short, elongated legs and robust bodies making for great agility and chasing ability. What's more, Dachshunds are incredibly loyal animals, making them great companions for many decades.
Dachshunds have a very unique coat, which comes in a variety of colors and types. Most Dachshunds have a short-haired coat, which is shiny and wiry with a slightly hard feel to the touch. Others may have a longer-haired coat, which can range from straighter to more curly, while others may have a softer and fluffier coat. In fact, some may have markings like stripes or patches that can be different shades of the same color. In addition, some have a curly "tailed" coat that lays close to the skin.
Dachshunds should not be fed foods like chocolate, grapes, or raisins which are toxic to dogs, nor should they be given acidic foods like citrus fruits or anything containing a lot of sugar. Also, they should not be fed raw meat, eggs, or bones as these can present a choking hazard. Additionally, foods with a high amount of fat should not be given to Dachshunds as this can lead to a painful condition known as Pancreatitis.
Dachshunds are fun-loving and loyal companions. Before bringing them home, it is essential to gather some basic necessities to ensure that your pup gets a healthy and happy start. At a minimum, you should purchase a well-ventilated crate, comfortable doggy bed, food and water bowls, food, quality chew toys, and a collar and leash.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will vary, but a full grown adult could reach anywhere between 6 and 9 inches tall and weigh between 10 and 32 pounds. It's important to note that even though the breed standard for Dachshunds is on the smaller side, your puppy's adult size will depend on a variety of factors like diet, exercise, and the size of the parents. Generally, smaller Doxies are more suitable in smaller homes or apartments since they need less exercise than larger breeds.
Absolutely! Taking your Dachshund on runs can be a great way to keep your pup physically active and mentally stimulated. Just remember to start out slowly in order to build your pup's stamina. Consider taking shorter, slower runs during the cooler times of day and always bring plenty of fresh water for your pup to drink. Additionally, always make sure to monitor your pup's behavior and activity level, especially when the temperature is high. Be sure to enjoy the run yourself but be watchful of your pup during the entire journey.
Dachshunds can typically get along with other pets, although it all depends on the individual dog and the circumstances. Generally, Dachshunds can be very social and friendly. Introductions between the Dachshund and other animals can be done gradually in order to minimize any stress they may have around each other. With the proper amount of socialization and training from an early age, your Dachshund can likely learn to co-exist peacefully with other pets in the household.
Training Dachshunds can be a rewarding experience, but it is important to understand their unique behavior and temperaments. The key is to be patient and consistent with your training. Ensure your Dachshund has a consistent routine so they know when to expect physical activity, meals, and other activities such as walks and potty breaks. Positive reinforcement, like providing rewards, such as food or playtime when they do something correctly, is an effective and gentle approach to training. Teaching basic commands like "sit" or "stay" are great places to start.
