Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a very unique class of dog; they are in the Hound Group. Small, long and low to the ground, these dogs have short legs and a body built for speed and endurance. They have powerful legs and an elongated body type that allows them to easily follow scents and smells over relatively long distances. Bred to hunt rabbits and vermin, they are determined, brave and proud with an alert expression, bold, inquisitive nature and an alert working attitude.
The Dachshund coat is unique and distinctive, with its short and smooth texture. Depending on the type of Dachshund, the coat colour may range anywhere from black to various shades of brown and gold, as well as rarer colours like blue and cream. There are also two varieties of Dachshund coats, the long-haired and the smooth. The long-haired Dachshund's coat is soft and luxurious, while the smooth Dachshund's coat has a hard and wiry texture.
Dachshunds are prone to becoming overweight, so it is important to provide them with a healthy, balanced diet. It is generally recommended that commercially-prepared, high-quality dog foods be used, such as kibble and canned food products specifically designed for small breed dogs. If wet food is used, make sure to select those with high-quality meats and no grain. For those owners who prefer to make their own food, cooked lean meats (e.g.
The key to being the best puppy parent for your Dachshund is commitment and dedication. You should recognize the importance of providing your puppy a structured routine while also providing lots of exercise and mental stimulation. To ensure that your pup is safe in your care, take the time to research all that is involved in owning and caring for a Dachshund. Additionally, be sure to teach your dog basic obedience training as well as proper canine etiquette and socialization skills. Make sure to give your pup enough love, as well as playtime and cuddle time.
Dachshunds come in two sizes, standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds weigh 16-32 pounds and stand 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder, while miniature Dachshunds weigh 11 pounds or less and stand 5-6 inches tall at the shoulder. Both sizes can vary greatly in terms of how large they are, with some specimens falling on the higher end of the size range and others being much smaller. Most Dachshunds are considered to be of medium size, but they have the potential to grow much larger.
Dachshunds are a high energy breed of dog and need a fair amount of exercise and activity to remain healthy and happy. An optimal amount of exercise for them is anywhere between 20-30 minutes a day this can be in the form of a gentle walk, jog or hike, or an energetic game where your pup can stretch their legs. If you have a large backyard, you may opt for a few shorter play sessions throughout the day.
Dachshunds can be excellent family dogs. These small and energetic canines thrive in family environments and usually get along well with other family pets, children, and adults alike. They can be affectionate and loyal, although high levels of exercise and mental stimulation can help to keep them from being openly destructive or too dominant. As long as they receive the attention they crave, they make great companions and have a playful spirit. With proper training, regular grooming, and plenty of attention, these spunky little dogs can become the loving family member you've always wanted.
Training a Dachshund may not necessarily be considered “easy,” however it is manageable with consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. With the guidance of a professional trainer, you can learn how to appropriately motivate your pup to master common commands such as sit, stay, come, and drop it. Assessing your pet's individual needs and learning style (friendly versus independent) may be beneficial for successful and efficient training. Consider enrolling in puppy classes, providing lots of toys to engage in play, and rewarding good behaviors with treats or verbal praises.
