Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an interesting type of breed due to their unique combination of looks, temper, and personality. They are one of the few breeds that come in three sizes standard, miniature, and toy. Their abnormally-elongated body coupled with their short legs gives them a notable silhouette that's hard to match with any other breed. Personality-wise, they are quite affectionate, and they make wonderful loyal companions due to how loving and loyal they can be.
Dachshunds belong to the category of low-shedding dogs, however, they are not considered to be non-shedding. Although they do indeed shed very little, most Dachshunds will still require regular grooming to ensure that their coat remains clean and free of matted hair. Moreover, Dachshunds are known to be relatively inactive, meaning they don't have a thick undercoat requiring regular shedding.
Dachshunds are omnivorous dogs who need a balanced diet for a healthy life. They are best fed a diet rich in nutrition, comprised of fresh meats, poultry, fish, eggs, vegetables, and healthy grains. Protein sources should be lean and free of hormones and steroids. Fruits and vegetables are also important for vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Dry food, either kibble or canned, is a great supplement and is often times enhanced with probiotics and antioxidants.
Before bringing a new Dachshund into your home, it is important to prepare for the responsibility of caring for your dog. Start by researching the breed and learning more about their unique needs and behaviors. Be sure to check out the American Kennel Club's website for detailed information. Additionally, gather all the required supplies and materials for your pup including food, bowls, beds, clothing and toys. Establish a regular daily schedule for nutrition, exercise and activity, and address any routine medical concerns such as vaccinations.
Dachshunds are typically classified as small breeds when it comes to size. Depending on the age of the dog, they are usually between 8-9 inches tall when measured from the shoulder, and weigh anywhere from 16 to 32 pounds for an adult. However, depending on the particular dog, they can be larger or smaller than this. Despite their small stature, Dachshunds can have the strength and attitude normally found in larger dogs, making them appear bigger than their actual size.
Dachshunds need exercise for both their physical and mental wellbeing. Just like any other breed, they can benefit from daily walks and playtime, depending on their energy level and age. For more active Dachshunds, they can benefit from walks or jogging for 30 minutes to an hour or engaging in other activities like agility courses. For older Dachshunds, shorter walks are better to avoid putting too much strain on their joints. Either way, providing some sort of daily activity can make them feel happier and more content.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds do enjoy the company of children and make excellent family pets. However, it is important for children to be taught how to interact with the dog in a safe and respectful manner. As a smaller breed, it is important to keep in mind that Dachshunds can easily be injured if handled too roughly, so children should always be supervised when handling the dog. Additionally, the dog should have its own space in the home such as a kennel or bed so it can retreat when it needs breaks.
Training a Dachshund requires patience, consistency, and sufficient treats to make it enjoyable for your pup! Begin by orienting your pup to structured mealtimes and potty walks, and use positive reinforcement to help them learn basic obedience commands like "lie down","sit" and "stay." Try to keep the training sessions short and sweet (no more than 10 minutes at a time) which will allow them time to digest what you are teaching them. Positive reinforcement is key, so make sure to treat your pup every time they obey a command or do something you like.
