Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a small breed of dog known for their long, slender bodies and short legs. They often weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and have a double coat. These friendly pups are an affectionate, loyal breed, as well as being lively and very independent. They do need a daily walk to help keep fit, but due to their size, it's important to keep them on a lead when outside, as they are prone to chasing smaller animals. They can also be a bit stubborn at times, so training should be started early.
Dachshunds are known for their smooth, thick, and short-haired coats. The hair should not lay flat against the body like that of a Labrador Retriever, but instead should have a slight wave to it. The coat should appear rather smooth and glossy, with longer hair around the ears, legs, and tail. While shedding varies with the individual dog, the coat should be brushed on a regular basis in order to prevent matting. Overall, the Dachshund coat is generally simple to maintain, requiring nothing more than a brushing about twice a week.
Dachshunds should not be fed anything that is high in fat, as this breed of dog is prone to obesity and other health complications. Foods that are high in carbs and sugar such as fruits and vegetables should be avoided as well. Rawhides, bones, cheese, and table scraps should not be fed to a Dachshund since they may be too hard for them to digest properly. When feeding your Dachshund, make sure that it's a brand specifically designed with these breeds in mind.
Dachshunds are generally happy dogs that don't require many special requirements. However, since they descend from scent hounds, they may have a natural inclination to follow their nose. It is important to provide them with adequate outdoor activity and to use a leash and/or proper boundaries in order to prevent them from running off. Due to their short legs, they may also benefit from doggy stairs or ramps when accessing furniture or car rides. It is also important to groom them regularly to keep their coats healthy and maintain their nails and teeth.
Dachshunds come in two sizes, Standard and Miniature. The Standard Dachshund weighs between 16-32 pounds, stands 8-9 inches tall, and is the most popular type of Dachshund. The Miniature weighs 11 pounds or less, stands 5-6 inches tall, and is generally considered a toy breed. These measurements vary on a case-by-case basis, but generally, they stay within these relative parameters.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are energetic, and running provides them with necessary physical activity. Before taking your Dachshund running, it is important to consult with your vet to ensure your dog has no health issues that may be exacerbated by running. It is also important to gradually build up your Dachshund's endurance just as you would ease into a running routine for yourself. Start out by taking shorter running routes and gradually increase the time and length of each run.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are an excellent breed of dog for first-time owners. Despite their small size, they are energetic and full of personality. Dachshunds form strong bonds with their owners and are known for being loyal, loving companions. They are generally friendly and tolerant of different people, and are highly trainable. Plus, they don't require an enormous amount of exercise, making them a great choice for busy households. All in all, Dachshunds are a great pick for first-time owners, providing an endless source of love and comfort.
Training a Dachshund is an important part of responsible ownership. Although Dachshunds can be mischievous by nature, they are highly intelligent and respond well to positive reinforcement-based training. It is important to start with basic commands first, such as sit and stay. Once basic commands have been mastered, you can move on to more advanced training such as agility and recall. Consistency is key and it is important to provide plenty of positive reinforcement with treats and praise when they successfully complete a task.
