Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, friendly dog that is known for its long, slender body and short legs. They are an ancient breed that originated in Germany, and are often referred to as either “wiener dogs” or “sausage dogs” due to their resemblance to a tube of sausage! Dachshunds come in all sorts of beautiful colors and can have either smooth, wire-haired, or long coats. They are known to be brave and intelligent dogs, and are quite playful and friendly.
Dachshunds can be considered low-shedding dogs, meaning that they do not produce as much shedding of hair as some other breeds, but they still shed. They have a single coat that does not require trimming or trimming like some high-shedding breeds. To keep their coats looking shiny and healthy, regular brushing with a slicker brush is essential to help reduce shedding, as it removes clumps and dead hairs that can then be vacuumed up. Additionally, they may benefit from occasional baths, although no more than once every few months.
Dachshunds are a breed that require specific dietary needs, and there are a few routes you can take to keep your pup healthy and happy. It's important to feed your Dachshund a balance of fresh meats, carbohydrates, and essential fatty acids. You can use a combination of wet and dry foods, as well as small treats along the way. To achieve a balanced diet, consider offering a high-quality kibble that is loaded with wholesome grains, proteins, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Preparing for a new Dachshund is an exciting but also a very important process. First, make sure you have the necessary supplies before bringing your new pup home such as a collar, name-tag, leash, bed, food, toys, and water/food bowls. These supplies will give your pup a sense of familiarity and comfort in their new home.
Dachshunds usually weigh in between 16 and 32 pounds and get to be between 8 and 9 inches tall at the shoulder. As a long-bodied, short-legged breed of dog, some people refer to them as 'hot dog' or 'sausage' dogs. As adults, they can reach up to 12-14 inches in height and can be either standard-size or miniature size. Standard-sized Dachshunds can grow up to 30 pounds, while miniature ones can weigh less than 11 pounds.
Dachshunds are usually considered to be land-dwellers, but many of them actually do enjoy the water and swimming, given the opportunity. Many owners report their Dachshunds taking a dip in a kiddie pool or a river, and some even take to doggy paddle and diving for pool toys thrown in the water. Swimming can be a great exercise option for Dachshunds, particularly if they are less inclined to go for a walk due to joint issues.
Dachshunds are often loyal, intelligent, and resilient companions, making them suitable for most family situations. They also have a lively and friendly disposition, which allows them to easily mingle with other pets and even young kids. They have a good handle on their temper and can even be quite affectionate towards their owners. Their small size also makes them well-suited for smaller living spaces, although bigger families may need to consider something larger. In addition, their coat is low-maintenance and they aren't overly energetic so they don't need a lot of exercise to stay happy.
The amount of time per day necessary for training a Dachshund varies depending on the individual animal's age, breed, size, and behavioral issues. It's important to begin introducing basic obedience training as soon as you bring your Dachshund home. During the initial training period, you should aim to spend at least 15-20 minutes per day, but it's best to consider this an ideal minimum. If you're dealing with behavioral issues, you might need to devote up to an hour per day to ensure the Dachshund is on the right track.
