Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are considered to be in the Hound Group of dog breeds. This group, also referred to as the scent hound group, are characterized by their sense of smell, which is much better than the other dog breeds. As with most hounds, Dachshunds have a strong drive to follow a scent and have been used by hunters to follow a trail. Dachshunds have also been used to assist in tracking wounded prey. Their short legs and elongated body make them ideally suited for going down holes and other tight spaces to flush out prey.
While Dachshunds are considered a low-shedding breed, they will still shed seasonally. Regular brushing of their coat will help to minimize shedding. Additionally, their diet and overall health can contribute to shedding amounts. It is important to provide proper nutrition and stay on top of regular veterinary visits to help avoid excessive shedding. Dachshunds can also be prone to allergies that can cause an increase in shedding. Keeping their environment clean and using hypoallergenic products can help to reduce skin irritation that causes shedding.
When it comes to choosing the best dog food for your Dachshund, you should prioritize quality over price. Consult your trusted veterinarian for recommendations, because they can give insights into your pup's specific dietary needs. Generally, though, look for USDA-approved formulas with an appropriate protein-fat ratio, such as 18-25 on the dry matter basis. You should also avoid artificial preservatives and colorings, opt for natural ingredients instead.
Being the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires dedication, patience, and a commitment to understanding the needs of your puppy. To provide your pup with the best care, start by researching the breed to get an understanding of its characteristics. This will help you learn the nutrition and physical exercise needs of a Dachshund. Feeding your puppy responsibly and scheduling regular veterinary visits are also critical for optimal health and longevity. Additionally, regularly scheduling walks and playing activities with your puppy is important for his or her physical and mental exercise.
Dachshunds are a small breed of dog, but there’s still a big range in size compared to other breeds. They typically stand 8-9 inches at the shoulder and measure up to 11-12 inches in length, with a weight that varies between 16 to 32 pounds. This breed exhibits a surprising strength and determination, reminescent of a much larger breed than they appear. You can rest assured that regardless of their size, this tenacious breed loves to play and explore, happy to have a companion for their journey.
The amount of minutes per day that you should walk your Dachshund will depend on the age and physical condition of your pet. Generally, a healthy adult Dachshund should get at least 30 minutes of walking each day. Additionally, puppies may require more frequent, short walks as their muscles and bones are still developing. Senior Dachshunds may require slightly shorter, or less frequent, walks as they age.
Dachshunds can make excellent family dogs when properly socialized and trained. They are loyal, loving companions, ready to bark joyfully when you arrive home from work and happy to cuddle up with you on the couch. They are intelligent but may be stubborn, so basic obedience and responsive training is important to keep them on their best behavior. Dachshunds tend to be quite protective of their families, so they are great watchdogs and will alert you to any threats.
The amount of time to train a Dachshund will depend on the individual pup and the goals of the owner. Generally speaking, Dachshunds should receive several short training sessions each day, adding up to a minimum of 10-15 minutes. Structure and consistency is key; depending on how quickly your pup is catching on to commands, you may want to add an additional 5-10 minutes to your daily routine. Training time can also be extended during potty training periods or periods of intensive teaching and learning.
