Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a delightful breed of dog that are part of the hound family. They are loyal, energetic, and lovable the perfect companion for just about anyone. Dachshunds are a unique breed because of their long, low-to-the-ground bodies and small legs compared to their large, floppy ears. They come in three distinct coat varieties (smooth, wire-haired, and longhaired) and can be found in various sizes ranging from miniature to standard.
The Dachshund's coat is generally short-haired and comes in a variety of colors and patterns, with smooth, longhaired, and wire-haired coats being the other types of coat available. The smooth coat is usually very shiny and lies close to the body. Longhaired Dachshunds have a longer, flowing coat that protects them from seasons and weather changes, while the wire-haired Dachshunds have a double coat with the top layer being the hard, thick guard hairs and the undercoat being the softer fur.
Your Dachshund should, ideally, be fed a balanced diet tailored to their age, their activity level, and their overall health condition. The best way to ensure they are getting the right nutrition is to feed them a premium grade dry kibble specifically for their breed, as it offers complete nutrition and is usually highly palatable. If you decide to go with kibble, it should be kibble specifically for small-breed dogs to ensure proper digestion.
Preparing for a new Dachshund means more than simply purchasing supplies. Before bringing your new pet home, make sure your home is completely puppy proof: secure all perishables, wires, and small objects, as well as remove any toxic plants or chemicals. Also make sure to create a safe and comfortable space for your pup with a bed, food, and water bowls, and toys. Invest in good quality, chewable toys that last.
The size of your Dachshund puppy's adulthood is contingent on their parent's size, as well as the environment in which they were bred. Generally, adult Dachshunds tend to measure between eight and nine inches tall at the shoulder. They are usually classified as standard Dachshunds if they weigh more than eleven pounds, and as miniature Dachshunds if they are smaller. Although their exact size is impossible to predict, they usually grow to be up to 14 pounds.
Absolutely! It is important, however, to determine if running is a good exercise option for your Dachshund. Since Dachshunds are prone to spinal issues, it is important to be sure that your Dachshund is healthy enough and meets the criteria for running. Start with short runs at a moderate pace, slowly increasing time and distance as your Dachshund becomes more comfortable. Be sure to bring plenty of water for both of you, and stop if he/she appears to be uncomfortable.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are an excellent choice for a family pet they are active, loyal, love to cuddle and have a friendly personality. They also have relatively low-maintenance care needs, since their coats are short and easy to groom. Dachshunds get along well with all members of the family, make a great companion and provide many hours of entertainment with their intelligence and playful nature. Dachshunds also require minimal exercise since they are content to play in the yard or lounge around the house with their family.
Training a Dachshund requires a gentle, patient, and persistent approach. Start by socializing your pup with other people and dogs to help with basic obedience skills. Offer rewards like treats and praise for mastering commands like sit, stay, and come. Make sure to keep training sessions short and fun. Create an exercise plan that includes both physical and mental stimulation. Taking your pup on daily walks can help with physical and mental stimulation. Teaching your pup new tricks and rewarding them for proper behavior can also be beneficial. Be consistent with commands and don't give up when training gets hard.
