Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small but spirited! Despite their stature, Dachshunds have amazing energy and love to explore. They are very loyal to their owners and thrive on interaction with family. Despite their small size, Dachshunds can make tremendous watchdogs! Additionally, they have an animated personality and are quite clever. Their name translates from German as 'badger dog' which gives a hint to their talent for *going to ground* when chasing small animals.
Dachshunds have a short, smooth, double coat that comes in a variety of colors, such as red, cream, black and tan, and chocolate. The two coats act to protect them from the cold weather and moisture. The upper coat is dense and hard, while the undercoat is short and soft. The coat may be straight or wavy, but it should never be curly, as this can be a sign of a genetic defect. A healthy coat should be shiny and well cared for.
Dachshunds should not be given any food that is high in fat, as it can be detrimental to their health and even lead to death, due to health issues such as pancreatitis. They should also avoid proteins like chocolate, onions, garlic, and other human snacks, as these could upset their digestive system and lead to digestive issues. It is best to only feed your dachshund food specifically made with their needs in mind, as this is the most balanced and holistic option. When in doubt, it is always best to consult your vet or pet nutritionist.
The best way to become a great puppy parent for your Dachshund is to show them love, patience, and consistency. Making sure they receive adequate exercise and mental stimulation will give them the best chance for success. Nurture a strong bond with your pup by establishing a daily routine and providing consistent structure using positive reinforcement. Groom them regularly to keep them healthy, provide plenty of toys or chews that will help to keep them mentally engaged and their teeth and gums healthy, and set boundaries that are consistently enforced.
Dachshunds come in three different sizes: standard, miniature, and ‘rabbit’. Standard Dachshunds usually range from 8 to 13 inches and weigh in the 16 to 32 ounce range; miniature Dachshunds are 5 to 7 inches in height and weigh between 8 and 11 ounces; while ‘rabbit’ Dachshunds are are even smaller, falling in the 4 to 6 inch range and weigh less than 7 ounces. Each size varies in terms of energy level, agility, and lifespan.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running, but there are a few things you should keep in mind. Dachshunds are generally not built for running long distances and are prone to back problems, so it's important to carefully consider the potential risks of exposing your pup to too much exercise. To make sure your pup doesn't overexert itself, start slow and slowly build up the duration and intensity of running sessions. Keep in mind that due to their smaller size and short legs, Dachshunds may not be able to keep up with you.
Dachshunds can make great companions for first-time owners! They are generally loyal and affectionate dogs that love their owners. Dachshunds tend to form strong bonds with their owners and are incredibly loyal and devoted. They are also incredibly patient and tolerant. Dachshunds require little exercise and can adapt to most living environments. However, it is important for first-time owners to be sure to provide adequate socialization and training to ensure their Dachshund's safety, as they are prone to chasing after fast-moving objects.
Training Dachshunds can vary based on how quickly they learn and the skill level desired, but generally speaking, you should plan to devote at least 30 minutes per day to training. This can include both physical and mental exercises, such as recall games, obstacle courses, or obedience exercises. Increasing the amount of training gradually over time is a good approach to ensure the Dachshund stays engaged and motivated, eventually leading to better results.
