Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, playful dog breed that originated in Germany. Dachshunds are generally identified by their long, slender body and short legs, typically weighing around 16 to 32 pounds. They're also recognized for their strong but gentle personality, as well as their distinctive bark and loyalty. That being said, they're naturally active and love to cuddle, so if you're looking for a loyal and affectionate pup, a Dachshund would be a great addition to your family.
Although Dachshunds are not considered a breed that sheds minimally, they do not produce as much fluff as some other breeds. Dachshunds have a short coat, usually a mixture of very fine hairs, so they don't shed as much as breeds that have thicker, longer coats. While they may not be considered non-shedding, they do require only minimum grooming to keep their coat healthy and in presentable shape. And because their coats don't require frequent brushing, shedding can be managed with regular vacuuming and occasional brushing.
Dachshunds should be fed an appropriate diet of high-quality, nutritionally balanced, age-appropriate dry food, as well as wet food, if desired. It is also important to provide a healthy selection of snacks and treats. Additionally, food should be served in meal portions two or three times a day and should not be left down all the time. Eating habits vary with each individual Dachshund’s size, age, injury or illness, energy level and general health so it's important to understand your dog's specific nutritional needs.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special requirements. Generally, they require daily exercise—exercises like short walks and fetch, or a play session in the yard, are great activities to help your Dachshund stay physically and mentally engaged. Brushing and bathing your pup regularly is a must, as the breed is prone to skin issues. Additionally, they have a tendency to overeat, so you should feed your dog two small meals a day rather than one big one.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on a variety of factors, such as the size of their parents and their bloodline. Generally, the breed is small, with adult Dachshunds typically weighing between 16 to 32 pounds. Adult males may be slightly larger than females. Through careful measurement and attentive observation, a Dachshund can be expected to reach their maximum size by the time they are nine to twelve months old. Keep in mind that although with the right amount of healthy care, their size can range from standard to miniature.
Dachshunds may take to swimming, but it does depend on the individual. Some dachshunds may love it and enjoy playing around in the water while others may show no interest. Swimming may be a good way to exercise your dachshund since they are small and don't handle longer walks as well as larger breeds. If you decide to introduce your dachshund to swimming, it's important to be with them when they take their first dip to make sure they stay safe.
It depends on the individual Dachshund and the pet they are interacting with. Generally speaking, Dachshunds tend to form strong bonds with the members of their human family, as well as other pet siblings. However, due to their intense prey drive, Dachshunds may have a hard time sharing their home with other pets such as cats, rabbits, and small rodents. With proper socialization, a Dachshund can learn to interact and co-exist peacefully with other pets.
Dachshunds are indeed considered to be smart dogs. This intelligence enables them to learn many new tricks and skills very quickly. However, their independent nature, strong wills, and stubbornness can make training them more of a challenge than for other breeds. A good Dachshund parent needs to stay patient, persistent, and consistent when training their pup. Thankfully, their intelligence aids them in understanding what is expected of them, making the training process go a lot smoother. As a result, they can be faithful companions who fit nicely into a household.
