Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a small, lively breed of dog that belongs to the Hound class. It originated in Germany, where it was bred as a versatile hunter, capable of following scent and game. The breed is known for its long, slender body and short legs, which give it an unmistakable flattened appearance. They come in three different coat varieties: smooth, long-haired and wire-haired, and a wide variety of colors and markings as well. Dachshunds are highly loyal and intelligent dogs, and love both human and canine companionship.
Dachshunds have a characteristic long, sleek coat that comes in a variety of colors and patterns. Their coats can range from smooth and silky to hard and wiry. With the smooth coat variety, the fur lies close and flat against their body, while with the wirehaired variety, their fur will stand off their body slightly. There are even long-haired Dachshunds with a double-layer coat, which require more grooming than the short-haired variety.
Dachshunds, like any other canine breed, need to be fed a high-quality diet to keep them healthy and active. A good rule of thumb when it comes to Dachshunds' diets is that they should be composed of at least 25-30% proteins like lean meats, whole grains, eggs, fish, and cheese. Additionally, Dachshunds should get up to 20% fats, like olive oil, fatty fish, and canola oil, which helps their coats stay shiny and healthy.
Before bringing home your Dachshund, you should make sure you're prepared with all the essentials needed to ensure a safe and comfortable lifestyle for your fur-baby. First and foremost, you should get a comfortable and safe dog bed, food and water bowls, a collar with identification tags, and a leash or harness and all associated gear such as a long line, poop bags, and any additional safety equipment that could be helpful. You'll also need an appropriate sized crate and associated items such as a soft bed and a few interesting toys and chewies.
Dachshunds typically reach an adult size anywhere from 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder and 11 to 15 pounds. Depending on the variation, they can range in size from miniature to standard. The miniature Dachshund measures no more than 11 pounds and is officially not allowed to exceed 8 pounds as recorded by the American Kennel Club. Standard Dachshunds, on the other hand, measure between 16 and 32 pounds, and historically have been used to hunt large prey such as badger.
While the typical Dachshund body shape doesn't exactly make them the best swimmers, many Dachshunds do enjoy a dip in the pool or lake. In fact, the breed's origin can be traced back to Germany in the 1600s where they were bred to hunt badgers in underground burrows, which means that Dachshunds have been pre-programmed for water play. Many owners find that their dogs will even accompany them in the water for a slow swim or just for a fun splash.
Dachshunds are a great option for first-time pet owners! Since they are small in size, they don't require as much time and space as larger breeds. Plus, they are incredibly loyal and loving so they make amazing companions. Furthermore, due to their independent nature, they do not require as much attention from their owners and can often entertain themselves. When given adequate exercise, they are fairly low maintenance and generally well-behaved too. All of these factors make Dachshunds ideal for first-time owners and an enjoyable pet to own.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are widely considered quite intelligent. Their owners often cite being able to quickly train them to complete tricks and tasks as evidence of their smarts. In fact, they are often eager to please their owners and consistently receive high marks on intelligence tests, proving that they can learn quickly and retain a great deal of information. They often even display moments of perceptiveness and understanding that many attribute to their level of intelligence. With above-average intelligence and a lively, affectionate personality, a Dachshund can truly be an ideal companion.
