Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small but sturdy breed of dog that was originally bred to hunt badgers and other burrowing animals. They typically come in two sizes standard and miniature and boast long bodies, short legs, and pointed muzzles. Their coats are available in a variety of colours, including shades of red, brown, silver, burnt orange, and black. Dachshunds make for an excellent companion and require minimal exercise but their curious natures mean they must be watched closely.
The Dachshund coat is typically short and smooth. It is usually a single layer of thick hair, varying in color from black, tan, red, and various shades of those colors. Its texture is typically thick and wiry, so it offers some protection from the elements. The color is usually somewhat consistent with tan on the back and sides, as well as yellowish patches around the chest and neck area. The underside of the coat is typically white, giving the breed its classic look.
Dachshunds require a specialized diet because of their unique anatomies. Generally, it is best to feed them a dry kibble that is specifically formulated for their size and breed to ensure they get the nutrients, proteins and vitamins needed in the right proportions to keep their bones and joints healthy. Look for foods that are rich in proteins, low in fat and focused on L-Carnitine, EPA and DHA if possible. Make sure to stay away from foods with fillers or unnecessary additives.
To prepare your home for a new Dachshund, you should start by puppy-proofing your living area. Move any objects that could pose a danger to your new pup, such as breakables or electrical cords. Secure items that need to stay in place, such as a sofa and chairs. Create a safe and secure space for your pup to retreat to when feeling scared. Make sure to install a gate or baby gate to keep him/her in designated areas. Keep your trash cans covered and off-limits.
Dachshunds are considered to be a relatively small breed of dogs. Although they are small, they can be quite strong and have a lot of energy, making them an ideal companion for an active family. In comparison to other dog breeds, most Dachshunds are on the smaller side and generally considered not to be classified as a “big dog.” While there are varying sizes and types of Dachshunds, they generally tend to be smaller than other breeds such as Collies, Retrievers, or German Shepherds.
Yes, many Dachshunds actually enjoy swimming! In fact, Dachshunds have a moderate waterproof coat which helps them stay warm and comfortable while in the water. When introducing your Dachshund to swimming, you should always do it in shallow, warm water as they are prone to hypothermia. It's important to use a life jacket that fits your dog properly, and to ensure the dog is supervised at all times. Even if your Dachshund loves to swim, you should never let them in water that is too deep or too cold.
Dachshunds are generally known for being social and gentle with their owners and family, and that usually extends to being around kids. That being said, each dog is different and must be properly trained to ensure it's safe to be around young children. It's important to take into consideration the size and energy level of a Dachshund when deciding if they are a good fit for a home with children. They can easily be injured due to their small size, so having an adult present at all times to monitor interactions is highly recommended.
Training your Dachshund is not as challenging as some may think! Initially, it's important to make sure your pup is comfortable with the basics: sit, stay, come, stop, and down. Once your pup has learned these commands, you can begin to train him or her on more involved behaviors and tricks. A good foundation of trust and respect is essential when training your Dachshund. You’ll want to be sure to reward your pup for doing something right to create positive reinforcement and never scold them for doing something wrong.
