Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a long-bodied, short-legged hunting breed of dog that originated in Germany. Unlike most larger breeds, the Dachshund was bred to hunt badgers and other small animals. Often referred to as the ‘Sausage Dog’, they are known for their distinctive elongated body shape and short, stubby legs. This combination makes them well adapted for tunneling and digging, which has been instrumental in their success as an underground hunting breed.
A Dachshund's coat is often described as being short, smooth, and shiny. It's common to have a mix of colors, such as a tan and white or black and tan. The coat may also have larger patches or "saddles" on the back and sides. Unlike other breeds, Dachshunds have very thin and sensitive skin so their coats require extra care and attention. It's important to brush them regularly, bathe them when needed, and keep their nails trimmed.
Dachshunds have an array of dietary needs that can range depending on the type of breed, age, and health. Generally, these two-legged eaters have a diet that will include quality dry and wet kibble, cooked or uncooked meats, fresh or frozen vegetables, and fruits. To ensure their dietary needs are met, it is advisable to have a veterinary-approved diet, with a preset portion size, and feed consistency so that your pup is always well-equipped with healthy, nutritious food for its needs.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is essential for a smooth transition. You'll want to ensure your home is safe and secure for your new furry friend. Start by puppy-proofing and securing all hazardous items, such as cords, wires, household chemicals, and trash cans. Next, create an area to keep your pet's essentials such as bedding, toys, dishes, and grooming supplies. Next, provide plenty of exercise and stimulation for your pup with interactive toys and designated playtimes.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on a few things, including their parents and whether they are considered a Standard or Miniature variety. Generally, Standard Dachshunds grow to between 16 and 32 pounds, while Miniature varieties are usually between 11 and 16 pounds. While your puppy's size may be difficult to predict exactly at this time, a vet specializing in this breed may be able to give you a better idea when they get a bit older.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are energetic dogs that love to be active. They often have spurts of energy throughout the day where they need to run, play, or take part in some type of exercise. They get along well with other dogs and love to join in on outdoor activities, making them great companions for any type of adventure. As pet owners, it's important to provide plenty of opportunities for Dachshunds to get the exercise they need.
Dachshunds are often considered to be an ideal family pet because they possess many desirable traits. They are lively, resilient and very loyal dogs which makes them great for families with children of all ages. Dachshunds have a very friendly and outgoing nature, and they are known for being obedient and very eager to please. With an easy-going attitude and smaller size, they are great for apartments and small houses. In addition to that, they can be easily trained for basic commands such as 'sit' and 'stay'.
Training a Dachshund requires time, patience, and consistency. Before you begin, it's helpful to decide what type of training you would like to do. Do you want to do basic obedience, house training, socialization, or another specialty? Familiarizing yourself with positive reinforcement methods like using treats and praise is essential when training any breed. Start with simple commands like "sit" and "stay" and reward your pup when they obey. And be sure to spend time with your pup daily, reinforcing the commands you want them to learn.
