Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are in the hound class, specifically in the subcategory of the shorthaired type. These small but sturdy pups are known for their long bodies and short legs, which gives them an unmistakeable waddling gait. Dachshunds have a loving, loyal nature that makes them excellent family pets, and their bold hunting instincts provide plenty of entertainment for their owners. Once known as "badger dogs" in Germany, they were bred to help hunters locate and harvest badgers and other burrowing animals.
Dachshunds have a double coat which is comical in appearance. The undercoat is soft and short and often described as downy or fuzzy. The outer coat is hard, coarse and slightly wiry in texture. Dachshunds come in a variety of colors and color combinations with markings of solid, purebred or particolor. They are often mistaken for terriers due to their wiry coat and long ears. Their coat is specially designed to keep them warm and allow them to move easily through their environment, along with keeping them safe from water or dirt.
Dachshunds, like any other breed, have some specific dietary restrictions and guidelines that should be closely followed to keep them healthy. While it is okay to give them treats in moderation, it is important to ensure that they do not consume foods not intended for their diet. Common foods that should be avoided when feeding Dachshunds include bones, grapes, raisins, dogs, onions, garlic, macadamia nuts, chocolate, avocado, and yeast dough. Additionally, salt and fat should be kept to a minimum to reduce the risk of sodium toxicity and obesity.
Prior to getting a Dachshund, there are a few important items you should consider buying. Firstly, a good quality food dish is essential. Select something sturdy that can't be tipped over and consider buying two – one each for food and water – to prevent your Dachshund from eating too quickly. Secondly, get some sort of dog bed, whether it be a crate, matt, or a cushion. You'll also want to purchase a reversible bed cover that can be switched out easily for washing. Thirdly, identify a reliable and relevant veterinarian practice in advance.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will vary depending on a few factors, such as the specific breed of Dachshund, as well as characteristics like gender and parents' size. Generally speaking, when fully grown Dachshunds reach a height of 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder and adults typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. However, it is important to play close attention to the puppy you are interested in as it matures, to make sure it is growing at the expected rate and size for the breed of Dachshund you are looking for.
The amount of time spent walking your Dachshund will depend on your pup’s age, overall health, and size. Generally, adult Dachshunds should receive at least one hour of exercise per day, split up into multiple, shorter walks. However, younger dogs may need more walking time than their adult counterparts. As a rule of thumb, aim for two shorter walks each day of anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes. When taking your pup out for a stroll, start with shorter distances and watch for your Dachshund’s cues.
Dachshunds can be a great fit for first-time owners. They are loyal, affectionate, and usually quite easy to train. Dachshunds have a surprising amount of energy and require daily exercise to remain well-balanced and healthy. They have a tendency to be possessive over their humans and may not be ideal for homes with multiple people and pets. But as long as the owner is consistent in their training and makes sure the Dachshund gets plenty of attention, they can be a wonderful and unique companion.
Dachshunds possess a unique intelligence that allows them to think for themselves. They possess an incredible problem-solving potential and are very adept at adapting to new environments or situations. Dachshunds are incredibly independent and confident in their abilities, which makes them naturally clever and have a real sense of initiative. Their alert and inquisitive nature implies intelligence because of the way they remember, process and analyze information. They are highly trainable, making them a fantastic companion and an ideal choice for families with children.
