Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a lively, playful breed of dog. Interestingly, they were originally bred in the 17th and 18th centuries in Germany to hunt badgers. As a result, they have long bodies and short legs to fit into tunnels underground. In fact, the word 'dachshund' is German for 'badger dog.' Dachshunds come in two size varieties, standard and miniature.
Dachshunds have three different coat varieties. The Smooth coat is short, glossy, and dense. The Longhaired coat is usually of medium length and slightly crimped. The Wirehaired coat has a thick, wiry double coat that stands off from the body. The coat can be black, chocolate, red, wheaten, wild boar, or isabella based on the color pattern of the fur. They shed coat twice yearly and require regular grooming with a brush and comb or a grooming glove.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs due to their longer backs and shorter legs. Due to their unique build, Dachshunds are prone to health problems such as obesity, skin and bone problems, and heart disease. It is important to meet all of their dietary needs by providing the right food in the right portions. When feeding a Dachshund, it is important to provide them with a balanced diet that is high in protein and low in fat.
Before getting a Dachshund, it's important to equip yourself with some essential items that will make life easier for you and your pet. A comfortable crate or carrier for travel and extra safety. Food bowls and treats that the Dachshund will enjoy. A collar and leash for walks and training sessions. Toys to keep your pup engaged and entertained. A brush and grooming supplies to ensure that your pet's coat is kept neat and healthy. Nail trimmers. A comfortable bed. And lastly, a good veterinarian that can help treat illnesses, injuries, and provide vaccinations.
Dachshunds typically range in size from 8 to 9 inches for a standard size, 11 inches for a miniature size, and up to 32 pounds for a "maxi" size. Of course, these dimensions can vary depending on the build of the individual dog. Generally, for an adult male, you’ll find a standard size falls between 16 to 32 pounds; while, a female normally falls between 16 to 26 pounds. The miniature sized dogs typically register between 10-12 pounds, while the maxi sized dogs range between 25-32 pounds.
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dog that seem to love a variety of activities and experiences. While the extent to which they might enjoy swimming may vary from one Dachshund to another, many have been known to take very well to it, and often find it to be a fun and stimulating experience. Generally, Dachshunds are quite active and enjoy exercising, and swimming is no exception.
Dachshunds are generally excellent family dogs! These loyal and intelligent pooches make great companions for families of all sizes and ages. Dachshunds tend to bond closely with their owners, and are often quite protective of their family members. They excel at providing lots of loyal affection and love, and make wonderful playmates for children. While they are energetic dogs that love to play, Dachshunds are also quiet and sensitive to their owners' cues, making them more amenable to training and learning basic commands.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for both the owner and their pup. To get started, socializing your Dachshund to other people and animals should be a top priority. This will help the Dachshund become more confident and better able to handle new experiences. Training your Dachshund should be done consistently and positively. Positive reinforcement, such as verbal praise or treats, will often lead to more successful training. You should take the time to clearly explain expectations and commands. Additionally, it helps to keep training sessions fun and brief.
