Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a small breed of dogs that have long bodies, but short legs. Their small size makes them great for people living in apartments or small homes. They are typically energetic and playful, so they need to be constantly stimulated with some type of activity. They can also be stubborn, so it's important to establish boundaries and remain consistent in their training. Dachshunds are loyal and loving to their families and may even be protective of them if needed. They come in a variety of colors and coat lengths, including smooth, wire-haired, and long-haired.
The coat of a Dachshund is an important attribute of the breed. It is usually slim, short and close-lying. Depending on the variety, a Dachshund’s coat may be smooth, wire-haired or long-haired, and colors range from solid red, black, and tan to a variety of patterns. Generally, the short-haired variety has a glossy, smooth coat whereas the long-haired variety has a thin, glossy coat that tends to hang down over the sides of the body.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs compared to other breeds. It's important to remember that these dogs are prone to hyperlipidemia (an abnormal amount of lipids in the body), which can affect their digestion and metabolism. This means that, to ensure proper nutrition, Dachshunds should have diets that are low in saturated fats and high in natural sources of fiber like oats and whole grains. Their diets should also include omega-3 fatty acids, while avoiding too many processed treats that can be high in fat content.
Owning a Dachshund requires some preparation. Essential items you should purchase before bringing one home include a collar and tag with your contact information, a leash, and a bed or crate. You should also invest in vet approved dog food, as well as bowls for food and water. Providing toys, chew items, and a grooming brush will make your pup more comfortable and help with managing their shedding. Additionally, consider getting an ID tag, as this will help ensure that if your pup is ever lost, they can be returned to you right away.
Generally speaking, Dachshund puppies can range anywhere between 8 to 11 inches in height and 8 to 16 pounds in weight, but the size of an individual pup depends on its parents' genetics. Weight, however, is usually more consistent than height, with Miniature Dachshunds weighing about 12 to 16 pounds and Standard Dachshunds typically weighing 16 to 32 pounds. It's also important to note that the size of puppy you own as a pup won't necessarily be its adult size.
Dachshunds, like all breeds, require moderate exercise to stay healthy and happy. Although their short legs might make you think they don't need as much activity as larger dogs, they still need daily exercise in the form of walks, play, and trips to the dog park. The average amount of exercise recommended for a Dachshund is 30 minutes per day, however, this can vary based on age, size, and energy level. For example, an active young Dachshund may need up to 1 hour or more of exercise daily.
Generally, yes Dachshunds tend to be social and typically get along well with other household pets. They can form close bonds with cats and other dogs, often playing and cuddling together. However, it's important to provide plenty of exercise and activities to keep your Dachshund's mental stimulation level high, as this can greatly help in avoiding potential conflicts. Socialize your Dachshund with a variety of animals from a young age for a more positive response to other animals in the future. Properly introducing animals in a controlled and supervised environment is key.
Dachshunds are known for their intelligence and problem-solving abilities. While they may not be considered top in the list of intelligence among all dog breeds, Dachshunds are thought to be quite smart. Highly intelligent, they’re quick to learn and eager to please, which makes them obedient and a willing companion. They have good short-term and long-term memories, and many owners report that their Dachshund quickly learned routines and commands.
