Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most iconic and beloved breeds of dog due to their long bodies, short legs, big ears, and mischievous expressions! They originally come from Germany and have been popular for centuries. Fun facts about Dachshunds include that their name in German translates to 'badger hound', their long body helps them to maneuver easily in underground burrows, and their outward appearance can also come in wirehaired and smooth coats. Dachshunds are also known for having a high level of intelligence and a high level of energy.
No, Dachshunds are not non-shedding dogs. While there are certain breeds of dogs that require minimal grooming and are considered low-shedding, Dachshunds are not one of them. They are known as heavier shedders, meaning that they can shed a great deal of fur, especially in the warmer months when their coats are denser and more prone to shedding. They will require regular brushing to minimize the shedding at least every two to three weeks and should be bathed whenever necessary.
Dachshunds have special dietary needs that should be taken into account for optimal health. They have a higher than average risk for developing an obesity-related disease, so limiting treats and portions is important. Additionally, they can be sensitive to ingredients in their food, so consultation with a veterinarian to determine the best diet can be beneficial. Dachshunds are higher risk for pancreatitis, so a diet lower in fat is better for them.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is an exciting and important task! You'll want to make sure you set aside some time to create a safe and comfortable environment for your pup. Start by choosing the right crate and bedding with an appropriate size and height for your Dachshund. You'll want to keep items like wires, cords, and any other curious items out of their reach to prevent accidents. Invest in some safe, chew-proof toys and fashion a safe space in your home using a baby gate or doggie door.
Dachshunds are not typically seen as big dogs as they typically range in size from 8-9 inches in height to 11-16 inches in length depending on the variety of the breed. Standard Dachshunds tend to be larger than Miniature Dachshunds, but in comparison to other breeds such as Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Huskies, Dachshunds are much smaller, and therefore their size alone makes them not considered a big breed of dog.
The amount of time you should walk your Dachshund each day depends on your pet's age, energy level, and health. Generally, experts recommend walking a Dachshund for at least 30 minutes a day. If your pet doesn't have any health problems, you can increase the length of the walks as well as their intensity. Additionally, if your Dachshund is particularly energetic or young, you can increase the walking duration to 45-60 minutes. Remember to adjust the length of the walks as your pet's age and health changes.
Dachshunds can make wonderful pets for first time owners with adequate research and preparation. These spunky little dogs have an independent spirit but are loyal and affectionate to their families. They are easy to train with positive reinforcement treatment and consistent boundaries. Being generally small in size, they don't demand a large living space, making them well-suited for apartment/condo/town-home living. With regular daily exercise, they can maintain a healthy weight and keep their minds stimulated.
Dachshunds are indeed smart. Many owners will attest to this due to their high capacity to learn, remember, and respond to commands. They are highly teachable, with an eagerness to please, and an ability to make the connection between positive reinforcement and correct behaviors. This intelligence can also manifest in more creative ways; Dachshunds have been known to figure out how to open latched doors, turn doorknobs, or complete specialized tasks within the home.
