Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a stout, hound-type dog that originated in Germany back in the 1600s. This breed is known for its long, sleek body and short legs. They have a smooth, short coat and come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. They have a friendly temperament and make great companions. These pups are small enough to easily fit into an apartment dwelling, but active enough to enjoy long hikes or play dates in the park. They are generally very energetic and loving and will adapt to most any activity or living space that is conducive to their behavior.
The Dachshund coat is characterized by its densely-packed short fur which comes in a variety of colors and patterns. The classic color is reddish-brown with black markings, but they may also be apricot, cream, black or tan. While all coats are single-layered and can be wirehaired or smooth-haired, the breed is known for its wiry coat. Its undercoat is medium to short and its topcoat is stiff but not overly long or curly.
Dachshunds may have special dietary needs that differ from other dog breeds. Generally, these small, long-bodied dogs do well on a high-quality diet that is made from natural ingredients and full of important vitamins and minerals. Commercial dog food can provide adequate nutrition, but many owners prefer to feed their pooches homemade or raw food diets that have been carefully designed by a vet or animal nutrition specialist. Whichever option you select, it's important to feed your pup a diet that not only provides for all their nutritional needs, but is also suitable for their age and weight.
Preparing for a new Dachshund is no small task, but if done properly, you can set yourself and your pet up for a successful future. Start by researching the breed and asking your vet questions. It is also important to set up a proper space and provide appropriate supplies. This includes look for a comfortable bed, crate, collar, leash, toys, treats, and food. Have the supplies ready ahead of time to service the needs of your pup.
Dachshunds are available in three sizes: standard, miniature, and kaninchen. Standard-size Dachshunds typically weigh between 16-32 pounds and are about 16-32 inches long. Miniature Dachshunds are known to be 11 pounds and shorter than 12 inches. Kaninchen Dachshunds are the smallest variety and usually weigh less than 11 pounds and measure about 8-9 inches long. Each size has several variations depending on age, breed, and lifestyle.
Absolutely! You can definitely take your Dachshund for a (leashed) run. As long as you are aware of the terrain you are running on, and adjust the difficulty and length of the run accordingly, it should be a great bonding exercise for you and your pet. However, it is important to remember that these breeds are built for short, energetic bursts rather than endurance runs. It is best not to push your pup too hard and to build up the exercise gradually.
Dachshunds can be a great choice for first-time owners when appropriately trained and socialized. They are intelligent, friendly, and independent dogs that can be loyal and devoted companions. Dachshunds are also good-natured and typically enjoy having company. However, they can be reserved around strangers, so they may take a while to adjust in a home. Dachshunds function best in homes that can provide regular exercise, mental stimulation, and affection.
Training dachshunds requires an investment of time and effort, including a daily training routine. Generally speaking, the amount of time spent training a dachshund should be based on the individual dog's needs, age, and temperament. Generally, younger dogs will need more frequent, short training sessions throughout the day, while more mature dogs need fewer, more focused longer training sessions. In any case, for best results, it is advised to spend at least 15-30 minutes per day engaging in one-on-one training with your dachshund.
