Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are medium-sized hounds of the Scenthound Group, classified as a domesticated mammal by the American Kennel Club (AKC). Their distinctive shape, combined with their affectionate and brave characteristics, have made them a desirable breed for over four centuries. Dachshunds are easily recognizable by their low-to-the-ground bodies, short and stubby legs, and elongated snouts.
Dachshunds have a wide variety of beautiful and unique coat types which makes it difficult to explain in one sentence. Generally, they have a double coat that can range from smooth, short hair to a long, wiry coat. The texture of the coat can also vary depending on the type: from extremely soft to wiry and even wirey-smooth combined. All color combinations and markings are accepted; however, solid black, black and tan, and reverse dapple are the most popular among Dachshunds.
Dachshunds are generally considered smaller-breed dogs, and as such, their diet should reflect that. It is important to ensure that the food you purchase for your Dachshund contains a moderate to high amount of protein as well as some healthy fats to help support and protect organ health. A high-quality kibble specifically designed for small breeds is the best way to go. Look for food that doesn't contain artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, and is ideally balanced with vitamins and minerals.
It's important to carefully prepare your home before bringing home a new Dachshund. Make sure you purchase a crate that is comfortable for your pup, and set it up in a quiet place that is easily accessible. Make sure that your pup will have plenty of room to roam in the house by blocking off any staircases or areas that may pose a safety risk. Install gates or puppy-proof your home to help keep your pup safe. Dog-proof your home by hiding any tempting items and make sure all cleaning products are all stored securely away.
Dachshunds are medium-sized dogs that can range in size depending on their breed and gender. Generally fully grown, they usually stand between 8-9 inches tall and can weigh between 16-32 pounds. However, some specimens of this breed can be as large as 35 pounds. At a minimum, a full-grown Dachshund should measure 8 inches in height and typically no more than 9 inches.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running. Before doing so, however, consider your dog's age, energy level, and physical capabilities. A young, energetic Dachshund can usually comfortably handle short runs and frequent walking, but an older or less energetic canine may not. Consider asking your vet for guidance. Additionally, make sure you're comfortable during runs Dachshunds are generally vocal and tend to be on the heavier side, so hold your dog if running over an extended period of time.
Dachshunds are a loyal and playful breed that can make excellent family dogs. They love children and are very social animals. With consistent training and plenty of exercise, Dachshunds can make great additions to households with children as they are very intelligent, easily potty trained, and loyal. They can also be quite independent, which makes them the perfect companion if you’re out for extended amounts of time. Although short on stature, they are long on protection and work as an excellent watchdog.
Training your Dachshund will ensure they are obedient, happy, and healthy. Begin by providing consistency and creating a positive environment. Making sure your dog is comfortable and in a relaxed state will help them learn better. Teach basic commands such as sit, come, and stay. Doing retrieval exercises and agility work is also very beneficial for Dachshunds. It's important to remain consistent with commands and use short, positive reinforcement when rewards are provided. Through patience and repetition, your Dachshund will begin to understand their training.
