Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique and fun breed of dog with a lot of character! They are known for having a long, slender body shape and short legs, which can make them quite fast hunters and runners. Dachshunds also have unusual barking and howl habits, and can have a wide range of vocal expressions. They are highly intelligent and can be easily trained due to being so food motivated. Due to their small size, they are more likely to curl up and take naps in people's laps.
Dachshunds are not a breed that is considered non-shedding. Although they have less fur than some other breeds, their short coats tend to shed year-round. Dachshunds do need to be brushed regularly to help keep the coat healthy and remove dead hair and matting. They can also benefit from regular baths to maintain healthy skin and a glossy coat. It is important to remember that all dogs, regardless of their coat type, shed.
Dachshunds need a balanced diet to support a healthy lifestyle. When choosing food for your pup, look for a dry dog food formulated for all life stages or for adult dogs. Your Dachshund should be getting high-quality proteins and a variety of nutritious ingredients including fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats like fish oil. Avoid food that contains a lot of fillers like wheat, corn, or soy. These ingredients can cause digestive issues and can also add extra pounds to your pup.
To best prepare your home for a new Dachshund, it's important to create a safe space, both indoors and outdoors. Consider setting up a doggy play area indoors with soft blankets, chew toys, and, possibly, a dog bed. Additionally, make sure your Dachshund is outfitted with a collar and a properly fitting harness, so they stay safe while outside. Outdoors, consider confining your pup to a small area with a fence or baby gate to limit their range of accessibility until they are comfortable.
Dachshunds typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, with a height range of 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder. Depending on the variety—standard, miniature, or kaninchen (rabbit)—they may be larger or smaller. Generally, standard Dachshunds are about twice the size of the mini versions. Generally, Dachshunds reach their full size between 6 and 12 months; it is important to be mindful of their dietary needs to ensure they stay at a healthy weight while growing.
Dachshunds, also known as sausage dogs, have a love-hate relationship with swimming. It depends on the breed, age, and temperament of the Dachshund. While some are happy to wade into the water and paddle for fun, others can experience anxiety about swimming or even fear. Generally, younger Dachshunds tend to enjoy swimming more, because they are more active and less hesitant. However, older Dachshunds may have more trouble with the motion and the fear of going too far in the water.
Yes, Dachshunds can get along with kids, provided the pup is raised and socialized around children from a young age. The correct introduction of a Dachshund to a child is important in order for them to establish a healthy and trusting relationship. Dachshunds are intelligent, loyal and eager to please, so with proper communication and rewards-based training, Dachshunds can learn how to behave around little ones.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience, and while it does come with some unique challenges due to the breed, it is possible for the determined owner. As with any breed, consistency and positive reinforcement are key. Establishing a routine and making sure your Dachshund gets plenty of exercise and attention will help your training efforts. Socializing your Dachshund with other dogs, people, and strange situations is also beneficial as it can help them become more comfortable and aware of their surroundings.
