Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are classified as a hound breed according to the American Kennel Club. As a hound breed, they are descended from a long line of scenthounds, which were initially bred for hunting badgers and other small animals. Dachshunds are known for their strong sense of smell and their stamina, making them perfectly suited for their original purpose. Today, they remain one of the most beloved breeds in the category and make excellent household pets due to their vigor, intelligence, and loyalty.
Dachshunds do shed some amount of fur, but they are considered to be a low-shedding breed. According to the American Kennel Club, low-shedding breeds, like Dachshunds, are known to produce less fur than other breeds. Additionally, as they have short hair, they require regular brushing and even occasional trips to the groomer to keep their coat healthy and shed less. Generally, most short-haired breeds are not heavy shedders, however, Dachshunds may produce more fur than some other breeds with short coats.
Dachshunds should be fed high-quality dog food that meets their specific needs. If you're feeding your dachshund a dry kibble, look for a meat-based food with at least 18 percent protein and 8 percent fat, and add some canned food for moisture. Avoid filling the bowl with too many treats and table scraps, as these can often be unhealthy for your pet. Fresh fruits and vegetables might also be a great addition to your dog's regular meal plan speak with your veterinarian to see what they recommend.
Preparing your home for your new Dachshund can seem overwhelming, but there are several simple steps you can take to make sure your house is ready for your pup. Start by puppy-proofing the space, making sure to close off or block any gaps or openings that your new friend could potentially squeeze through. Follow up by purchasing a few basic necessities like a dog bed, food and water bowls, chew toys, and treats. Make sure you are aware of any potentially harmful items or foods within reach of your pup, such as toxic plants and human snacks.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. As their name translates to “badger dog” in German, Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt badgers and other pests. With its short legs and long body, the Dachshund fits perfectly into underground animal burrows, and is still today praised for its amazing tracking abilities. While they vary in size and weight, an adult Dachshund is generally classified as a small breed and usually weighs less than 11 kg (25 lbs).
Dachshunds are known to be an active breed, so regular exercise is important for their health and wellbeing. The amount of exercise depends on the age, energy level, and overall health of the individual dog. Generally, a daily walk of approximately 20 to 30 minutes should be sufficient, but the duration can be increased for more active dogs. Exercise can also include activities such as fetching, agility training, walking on a treadmill or in a doggy pool, or playing at a dog park.
Generally, Dachshunds will get along with other pets in the home if they are properly socialized. Doing this starts with early exposure to other animals, and positive reinforcement of desirable behaviours. Some Dachshunds take longer to adjust to other pets, and may not be that friendly. Be patient with your Dachshund and let it get used to other pets at its own pace. Generally speaking, once your Dachshund understands how to interact with other animals, it should get along with them fairly well.
Training a Dachshund can be as easy or as difficult as training any other breed; it all depends on the individual pup! Generally speaking, the key elements of successful training are consistency, positive reinforcement, and patience. Dachshunds are intelligent and have an eagerness to please, so with the right training approach, many owners find their pup quick to pick up on commands. Start with simple commands like “come” or “sit”, and move towards more complicated ones as you and your pup progress.
