Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a playful, mischievous breed! One fun fact about them is that the name ‘Dachshund’ comes from two German words – ‘Dachs’ meaning badger and ‘hund’ meaning dog. They are often called “sausage dogs” due to their long, distinct body shape. Dachshunds come in two sizes, standard and miniature, and a variety of colors and patterns.
Dachshunds are not completely non-shedding, however, they do not shed heavily. In general, regular-coated Dachshunds will tend to shed more while the long-haired and the wire-haired varieties will shed less. Generally speaking, Dachshunds have somewhat low-shedding coats, although they still require a mild form of grooming and occasional brushing to maintain a healthy coat. It is also important to note that Dachshunds may shed more excessively if they are not well groomed or if they are receiving inadequate nutrition.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs that should be considered when determining what food to give them. Dachshunds are prone to obesity due to their lower activity levels, so it is important to carefully monitor their caloric intake and also rely on higher-quality foods that focus on meat proteins over simple carbohydrates. Dachshunds also have a sensitive digestive system, so they tend to do better when given multiple smaller meals throughout the day, which can help avoid episodes of vomiting or diarrhea.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can be an exciting and rewarding experience! First, you should research all about the Dachshund breed, such as the necessary supplies needed and any potential health concerns. Next, make sure you choose an appropriate food for your Dachshund and have a feeding schedule in place. It's also important to have a good plan for socialization and house training, so find out the best methods for both. Additionally, make sure you have a safe, quiet place for your Dachshund to sleep and consider additional pet insurance for peace of mind.
Dachshunds are generally considered small dogs, but there are some varieties that can reach larger sizes. The ones that reach a standard size can be considered medium sized, with the standard weight range being 16–32 pounds and height 12–16 inches. Typically though, when people think of Dachshunds, they think of a smaller variety, since they have been bred down from their original size. While Dachshunds are usually not included in the classification of larger breeds, some of the larger varieties may be regarded as large for a small breed.
Dachshunds need daily exercise to maintain their health and happiness. Being a lively breed, they need at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day. This includes taking a walk, playing some fetch, or running around in a fenced-in yard. To ensure a healthy lifestyle and strong muscles, it would be good to engage your Dachshund in additional aerobic exercise, such as jogging, chasing balls, and agility courses. Regular exercise can also help to aid their joints and keep them lean.
Dachshunds generally get along great with children. It is important to note, however, that Dachshunds are high-energy canines that enjoy playing and running around. As such, they often require plenty of exercise and attention, so it is important for parents to ensure that their children are supervised correctly when playing with any Dachshund. Dachshunds have also been known to have a penchant for being protective of their family members and home, which is excellent for safety.
Training your Dachshund should be an enjoyable experience for both you and your pup. To start, establish consistency in their daily routines by providing them with plenty of exercise and playtime. Praise and reward good behavior and use positive reinforcement to encourage them to continue the behavior. Teaching your Dachshund simple basic commands such as sit, stay, come and lay down could be beneficial. Be sure to use treats or toys as rewards for training. Start by doing short, daily training sessions that are tailored to your pup's ability and interest level.
