Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a truly unique breed of dog! One of the most interesting traits of the Dachshund is their prodigious courage. They were originally bred to hunt badgers and their behavior reflects this determination to this day. Moreover, the dachshunds is versatile as it comes in three different varieties: the standard, miniature and toy, which range in size from 8 to 32 lbs. Their short, sausage-like shape also lends them an undeniable charm, and kids of all ages adore them.
No, Dachshunds are not non-shedding. They have a dense, wiry coat that sheds year-round. Though they don't shed too heavily on a regular basis, their shedding does increase two to three times a year when they 'blow out' their undercoat to adjust to changes in temperature. Regular brushing will help contain the fur within the house, but it won't stop it from coming off of the dog. Owners of Dachshunds should be prepared to find themselves vacuuming and sweeping on a regular basis.
Dachshunds typically have a hearty appetite, and with that comes special dietary needs to keep them healthy. It is recommended that Dachshund owners feed their pup a balanced diet of high-quality, nutrient-dense food that is specifically formulated for mini breeds. This should include protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals which should all be tailored to their age, size and activity level. Dachshunds should also have access to fresh, clean water at all times.
To prepare for your new Dachshund, it is important to start planning ahead of time. Research the breed while considering your lifestyle and the daily activities you and your Dachshund will be doing. Make sure to stock up on quality dog food and other supplies such as treats, a collar and leash, toys, and a dog bed. Read up on housebreaking and consider if you will be crate training or potty training.
Dachshunds vary in size according to their breed, but in general they are considered a small breed dog. Dachshunds can range from 5 to 32 pounds, and are typically 8-9 inches tall when they are fully grown. While this is considered small compared to larger breeds, there is a great variety within the breed, with some dogs falling into the medium-sized breed category. All Dachshunds have long bodies and short legs which makes their size appear larger than it is.
Dachshunds love water and swimming, though they may need some convincing to take the plunge. Most breeds of Dachshunds are quite adept swimmers with strong legs and an enthusiastic attitude. Because they have such short, dense coats of fur, they don't typically stay in the water for too long and tend to enjoy a leisurely dip more than a vigorous swim.
Dachshunds can make excellent family dogs for many households. With a pleasant temperament and a small form, this breed is a great fit for many homes. Dachshunds are loyal and playful and they love to cuddle. They are smart and respond well to training, making them a great companion. In addition, they can adapt to different living situations such as apartments and larger homes. They can also do well in other climates too. Dachshunds tend to bond with their family and if properly socialized, they get along well with children and other pets.
As with any breed, the amount of time needed to train Dachshunds will vary depending on your goals. Generally, it is recommended to start with 15-30 minutes of training per day, focusing on the basics such as sit, stay, come, and down. Over time, as the dog responds well to the reward-based training techniques, you can increase the duration and complexity of the training sessions. Physical and mental exercise should be incorporated into the daily routine to keep your Dachshund healthy and happy.
