Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are as unique and fun-loving as their name implies. One of the most common fun facts about this breed is their diverse range of coat colors—they come in black and tan, brown and cream, even brindle and dapple! Plus, it's common for Dachshunds to have their very own unique markings. Not to mention, this breed is strong-willed and spirited, and this adds to their personality. Aside from that, their short legs give them a distinct look.
Dachshunds are low-shedding breeds, however they do shed some fur. Typically, once weekly brushing should keep their coat and their shedding under control. Owners of these dogs should plan to vacuum and clean their house frequently, as Dachshunds may still leave some fur around their living space. Furthermore, while Dachshunds are usually not hypoallergenic, those wishing to reduce allergy triggers should look for a long-haired Dachshund since its hairs release fewer dander particles compared to the short-haired variety.
Dachshunds should not be given anything that is high in fat, as this can cause gastrointestinal distress and obesity. As with all dogs, they should not be given chocolate, onions, garlic, chives, grapes, raisins, or anything containing xylitol, which is a sweetener that can be toxic to dogs. Additionally, it is important to stick to a healthy and balanced diet consisting of quality and nutrient-dense foods specifically designed for dogs and to avoid human food as much as possible.
Yes, Dachshunds do have unique needs. First and foremost, they are an active breed, which requires lots of exercise and playtime. They are prone to obesity, so proper nutrition and body condition must be considered as well. Moreover, their long backs and short legs can lead to other musculoskeletal issues, so it’s important to help them maintain balance when working with obstacles or higher surfaces. Grooming needs are also important, since this breed has double coat and minimal shedding. Regular brushing and grooming is recommended, as well as checking their nails and ears.
Dachshunds are considered a small breed of dog and vary in size depending on which type of Dachshund you have. Standard Dachshunds typically grow to be around 8-9 inches at the shoulders, while miniature Dachshunds tend to be 5-6 inches. The longest varieties of Dachshunds are the 'rabbit' Dachshunds, which can reach up to 9-10 inches in height.
It is possible to take your Dachshund running, provided they are physically capable of the activity. If your dog is a healthy adult and you exercise regularly with them, then running can offer a great form of joint exercise. However, it is important to remember that Dachshunds are bred mostly for short bursts of activity, and their bodies may not be well-adapted to sustained running or long walks. Before taking your Dachshund out for a run, make sure to consult their veterinarian to make sure you are not putting excessive strain on their joints and kidneys.
Dachshunds are typically very friendly and can get along with other animals, provided they are introduced to each other in the right way. Proper socialization is key to ensure there is harmony. To socialize a dachshund, introduce them to other animals slowly and gradually in a monitored environment. It is also recommended to have the pet meet other animals who have good temperaments and are comfortable around other animals, preferably ones the same size or larger than the dachshund.
The amount of training time a Dachshund needs per day will depend on a variety of factors, such as the breed and age of the dog, as well as prior training or obedience level. As a general rule of thumb, it is recommended that a Dachshund receive at least 10-15 minutes of daily training to reinforce existing skills and to keep the pet mentally stimulated and engaged. However, depending on your goals as an owner, you may want to dedicate more time to training your Dachshund— especially if you plan on competing in agility or obedience competitions.
