Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are lively and loyal dogs that make a great companion for any household. As a small-bodied breed, they are an excellent choice for people living in apartments. Dachshunds are versatile and can be trained for many activities like agility and flyball. They can be a little more stubborn and headstrong than other breeds, so when training, it is important to be consistent and patient. Due to their long backs, Dachshunds are more prone to certain vertebral diseases.
Dachshunds have a distinctive double-layered coat, each layer boasting its own unique texture. The top layer is a bit coarser, shorter, and often wiry, while the lower layer grows closer to the skin and can be either soft and silky or more toughly textured. Generally speaking, short-haired dachshunds have a shorter, smoother coat, while long-haired dachshunds have a more luxuriant, finer coat.
Dachshunds are a small breed of dog so they require a diet specifically designed to meet their nutritional needs. A balanced diet is important to ensure they receive the necessary proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins to remain healthy. A high-quality dog food specifically formulated for dogs of their size should be the staple of their diet. Consider adding healthy snacks like fruits, vegetables, or boiled eggs to supplement their diet. Fresh water must always be available and portions should be measured to prevent overfeeding.
To become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, start by doing your research on the specific breed’s needs and temperaments. Educate yourself on the proper diet, health care, and exercise requirements. Set up a safe and comfortable environment that is tailored to fit your pup's unique needs and provide them with plenty of toys and entertainment that are stimulating both mentally and physically. Develop a solid daily routine for your pup, including times for feeding, playtime, and extended walks. Establish healthy boundaries from the start and provide positive reinforcement when your pup follows them.
Dachshunds come in three different sizes based on weight: miniature, standard, and kaninchen (rabbit). The miniature dachshund weighs less than 11 pounds, the standard dachshund weighing between 16 to 32 pounds, and the kaninchen weighing between 8 to 11 pounds. Appearance wise, the standard-sized dachshund tends to look longer and trimmer than its miniature or kaninchen sized counterparts, while the miniature and kaninchen varieties can look alike, though they differ in weight.
Dachshunds are indeed quite active dogs, though the amount of activity varies from individual to individual. Generally, these animals require a certain level of daily exercise to keep them in good physical condition and promote mental stimulation. That said, Dachshunds also have a tendency to adapt to their environment quite easily – if you live in a more sedentary home, they will happily take longer walks or games of fetch in the yard a couple of times a week instead of frequent short runs during the day.
Dachshunds can get along with other pets provided they are socialized from an early age and are a part of a family with a positive, loving environment. With proper training, they can learn to be accepting and friendly to other pets. Generally, they are wary of unfamiliar animals, but with regular supervised interactions, they may learn to be comfortable in time. It is important to begin introducing them to other animals at a young age and in small doses, helping them to become confident and used to other animals in the home.
Training a Dachshund is an essential part of responsible pet ownership. To get the most out of your training, you should consistently use positive reinforcement methods such as treats, praise, and play. You should begin with basic commands such as sitting, staying, and coming. Begin with shorter training sessions that are highly rewarding, and gradually work up to longer ones. Be sure to practice the commands regularly to establish them. Additionally, socialization is key for Dachshunds.
