Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are unique and easily recognisable for their elongated bodies and short legs. They are classified as a hound breed and they are known for being courageous, intelligent and loyal companions. Dachshunds are scent dogs, meaning they have a powerful sense of smell and they were originally bred to hunt for vermin and small game such as rabbits. They come in two sizes, Standard and Miniature, and a variety of coat types. Standard Dachshunds are usually 16 to 32 pounds and Miniature Dachshunds are typically 11 pounds and under.
Dachshunds have a unique coat that varies depending on the variety. Generally, their coats are short and smooth, or a wire hair, which are sometimes called wiry-haired Dachshunds. Wire-haired variations are typically double coats, featuring a softer, expected, under-coat as well as a stiff, wiry over-coat that is prone to heavier shedding in the early spring and late fall. Their smooth-haired variety typically has a shiny outer coat that sheds moderately throughout the year and requires occasional brushing to remove dead hair.
Dachshunds are a lively breed of canine that loves to eat. When it comes to their diet, they should be fed a balanced, nutritious diet to keep them healthy. A good quality kibble is a great option that Dachshunds can enjoy, filled with proteins from meats such as chicken and fish, vegetables, and whole grains. Keep in mind that some Dachshunds may have food allergies or sensitivities, so it's important to speak with your veterinarian and formulate the best diet for your specific pup.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to purchase a few items to make sure their stay in your home is comfortable and safe. Buy a snuggly bed and crate or kennel large enough to fully stretch out. Invest in some toys chewy bones and things for them to play with to keep them entertained and out of trouble. Get a good quality collar and leash designed specifically for their size, and make sure to have a collar tag with all your information.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: Standard and Miniature. The Standard size can range from 8 to 32 lbs, with adults typically weighing 16-32 lbs. The length varies from 8 to 9 inches for males, and 8 to 8.5 inches for females. Miniature Dachshunds are usually between 8 to 11lbs, and can be anywhere from 5 to 6 inches tall as adults. That being said, it's important to understand that every dog is unique and may vary in size and height from others of the same breed.
Dachshunds, or "wiener dogs," are considered water loving dogs and may take to swimming given the right encouragement. They can learn to enjoy the activity, however, for the most part, dachshunds may prefer not to take a dip in the pool. Some owners have reported that their dachshunds can be quite timid around water, where others have noted they can take to swimming quite easily with the correct training.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are loyal, loving, and make great family members. They develop strong bonds with their owners and are known to be very affectionate and patient with children. In addition to being great family companions, Dachshunds can make good watchdogs as they are alert and will bark to let you know when someone is at the door. They're also very clever and independent, making them easy to train. Plus, they come in a variety of colors and sizes so there’s something to suit every family.
The amount of time you need to spend training your Dachshunds each day will depend on the specific goals you set. While some basic training activities like potty training tend to take a few minutes, if you want your Dachshunds to master complex behaviors such as agility or tricks, you'll most likely have to dedicate more time. Generally, it's recommended to spend at least 10 minutes a day on training activities with your Dachshunds, but of course the more time you can dedicate the better.
