Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small breed of dog with a long body and short legs that make it suitable for underground burrowing and hunting. It is believed to have originated in Germany in the mid 1500's where it was bred as a scent hound for badger hunting. The breed quickly gained popularity throughout the world and is now recognized as one of the most iconic and beloved pets. Generally, Dachshunds are a friendly and loyal breed that make great companions. They come in an array of coat colors and patterns and three distinct sizes, all with long floppy ears and appealing eyes.
Dachshunds shed a low to moderate amount of hair, but shed much less than other breeds, making them a good choice for those with allergy concerns. Dachshunds have a double coat, made up of tight and short undercoat fibers and longer, thicker guard hairs. They are considered low-shedding dogs, but daily brushing is recommended to minimize shedding. They do need occasional professional grooming services to keep them looking their best. During the shedding season, which usually occurs twice a year, daily brushing is essential.
Dachshunds usually do best on a diet of commercially-made dry kibble that is tailored for small-breed dogs. It has the right proportion of fat, nutrients and calories to provide your dachshund with the energy needed to join in on family activities. Wet food can also be offered in combination with dry food to create a balanced diet, and raw diets are known to be healthy options. Vegetables, eggs, poultry and other meat are great sources of protein that dachshunds need to build muscle and promote healthy skin, bones and joint health.
To prepare your home for your new Dachshund, make sure you have all the necessary supplies. Stock up on food, bowls, a collar, leash, and toys. Set aside areas for sleeping and playing, and install a baby gate to prevent your pup from accessing areas you don't want them to go. Designate off-limits spaces such as bedrooms or the kitchen, and make sure that any potentially dangerous items like hazardous chemicals or food items that could be ingested are stored securely away.
Yes, Dachshunds are generally considered to be small dogs. Weighing in at typically between 11 to 32 pounds, they are a very versatile breed, and lots of people love the fact that Dachshunds fit into spaces and accommodations sized to fit smaller breeds. While they have a reputation for being spunky and fearless, they are actually quite gentle when socialized correctly and make loyal and loving pets. Dachshunds are, in fact, the 11th most popular breed registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC) and are in high demand.
Walking your Dachshund is a great way to keep them fit, healthy, and happy! The amount of walking time your pup needs each day depends on both their age and level of activity. Generally speaking, the average Dachshund should get around 20 minutes of walking per day, but that number can be adjusted depending on the individual pup. A shorter and slower walk will be best for senior Dachshunds, while more active and young puppies may benefit from a longer session.
Generally, Dachshunds get along well with kids, as long as they are socialized properly from a young age. Dachshunds tend to be loyal and affectionate companions, as well as being moderately active, so they can often make great playmates for active children who will return the same amount of affection. It's important, however, that parents supervise interactions between small children and any dog, even if Dachshunds are well-known for being friendly towards humans.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience if done properly. Begin by introducing your pup to basic commands such as sit, stay, come, and down. Start with short training sessions and have plenty of tasty rewards. It's best to train in an area that is distraction-free and doesn't contain any objects they might want to chase or chew. Next, you should begin teaching them to walk on a leash. Start by making gradual progressions, perhaps by walking on the leash in the backyard.
