Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of dog in the hound family, originating in Germany. They are often referred to as a “wiener dog” because of their long, thin body and sausage-like shape. Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard or miniature, and three varieties: smooth-haired, long-haired, or wire-haired. Often seen in reddish brown, black, and tan, Dachshunds can also have brindle and piebald patterns.
Dachshunds have a short-haired, smooth double coat which is usually considered low-shedding; however, they can still shed a moderate to significant amount. They may not shed as much as other double coated breeds, such as the Golden Retriever, but you should still expect to see some hair around the house. Grooming will help reduce the amount of shedding, but regular brushing and occasional bathing will help a great deal. As they age, Dachshunds may start to shed more frequently and in greater amounts.
Dachshunds should not be fed high-fat, high-calorie foods, as these can increase the risk of obesity which could put further strain on their long backs. It is also best to avoid feeding them certain human food like chocolate, grapes, raisins, garlic, onions or foods with a high sugar content, as these can potentially cause illnesses like pancreatitis or other digestive issues. It is important to select the right foods for a Dachshund as their diet should have some limit in calories while still offering plenty of nutrients to keep them healthy.
Yes, Dachshunds do have some special requirements in order to lead a healthy and happy life. As a breed, they are prone to back troubles, so they need regular exercise and a regular grooming routine to keep their coats clean and healthy. They need regular mental and physical stimulation, which can include daily walks, various games, and activities. Dachshunds should also be given attention and socialization opportunities, as this breed can become overly attached to their owners and can suffer from separation anxiety if left alone for extended periods of time.
Dachshunds, otherwise known as sausage dogs, are not considered among the largest dog breeds. Generally slender and low to the ground, these dogs usually grow to be about 9-10 inches tall at the shoulder, and weigh anywhere from 16-32 pounds. When compared to other breeds like Great Danes or Irish Wolfhounds, Dachshunds are miniature compared to them! However, their personality is larger than life, with an enthusiasm for life that makes them a worthy companion pet.
The American Kennel Club recommends that a Dachshund should be walked for a minimum of 20 minutes a day. It is important to keep in mind that Dachshunds are lively and require plenty of activity. They are known for having plenty of energy so they require longer sessions of exercise and activity throughout the day. Walking your Dachshund for 20 minutes daily is just the base minimum for their daily activity requirements. This doesn’t include any playtime with them or any training or agility sessions.
Dachshunds can make great family dogs. Their size, intelligence, and loyalty mean they can easily fit into new environments and get along with other family members. They are usually very good with children and enjoy being in the middle of a family's activities. Their energy and determination can be a fun addition to the family. Dachshunds have an independent nature, so they won't always be looking to please their owners, although they can develop a deep bond with their family.
Yes, Dachshunds can be very smart. With proper training and socialization, these dogs can learn to do tricks and respond to commands. The key to successfully teaching a Dachshund lies in understanding their eagerness to please and providing them with positive reinforcement. Dachshunds may also be willing to learn tasks that require problem solving, like finding lost items. In addition to being bright, Dachshunds are considered loyal and loving companions. With lots of love and attention, they can be wonderful family members.
