Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are incredibly endearing animals that have unique characteristics that set them apart from other breeds. Perhaps the most interesting distinctive feature is their long, sausage-like bodies that come in two varieties: standard and miniature. This elongated shape gives them superior speed and agility for their size, which makes them perfect for hunting small animals like rabbits, badgers, and other burrowing creatures. Dachshunds are also known for their intelligence, strong-willed personalities, and alert nature.
Dachshunds are not a non-shedding breed in the traditional sense; however, they do shed much less than other breeds and produce less dander, which can make them better for those with allergies. Still, they do possess a double coat that will shed periodically. The key to keeping their coats healthy and reducing the amount of shedding is regular brushing and bathing, and, for the undercoat, stripping or plucking every few months (as needed).
Dachshunds generally have the same dietary needs as other dogs, but there are a few special considerations that should be taken into account when feeding a Dachshund. Being a deep-chested breed, these dogs are prone to developing gastric dilatation-volvulus or GDV, also known as bloat, so it is recommended to feed a Dachshund smaller meals throughout the day instead of one large meal.
Dachshunds have several unique characteristics that require special requirements. They are small dogs, typically weighing 16-32 pounds, yet they can have long bodies, short legs, and have powerful personalities. Because of this, they should be provided with adequate exercise to ensure they stay healthy and fit. As with all breeds, it is important to brush them regularly to help maintain their coat and help their skin stay healthy. They also need to be groomed frequently, including regular nail trimming, ear cleaning, and checking for parasites.
Dachshunds, also known as "wiener dogs," reach an robust length of 8-9 inches tall when measured from the ground to their shoulder. The average height of an adult Dachshund ranges from 8 to 9 inches, while the average weight can be anywhere from 10 to 15lbs. However, a standard-sized adult male Dachshund can weigh up to 32lbs, and can measure 12-14 inches tall from the ground to his shoulder. Miniature Dachshunds are usually shorter than standard size, but can also weigh in the same range.
Every Dachshund is different and each one requires individualized exercise guidelines depending on factors such as age, health, size, and energy level. Generally speaking, it is recommended to get your Dachshund a minimum of 30 minutes of daily exercise, which should include a combination of walking, playing, and mental stimulation. You should keep in mind that the more active the breed, the more exercise may be needed to maintain their ideal health.
Generally, Dachshunds can get along with other pets if they are properly socialized. Dachshunds tend to take well to large animals such as cats and horses and can even be taught to coexist with other smaller pets like birds, rodents, and rabbits. That said, it's still important to introduce your Dachshund carefully to any other animal so they can become familiar with each other in a safe and controlled environment. It's also important to provide plenty of low-stress playtime and plenty of treats during this time to help reinforce good behavior.
The amount of time you need to dedicate to training Dachshunds can vary depending on the age and experience level of the dog. Generally speaking, a puppy or novice dog will need a minimum of 10-15 minutes of training time each day. Older and more experienced Dachshunds, however, should receive at least 30 minutes of focused training, with shorter sessions held throughout the day if preferred. As your pet grows and learns, it's important to increase this time so they can continue to progress.
