Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied dog that originated in Germany. It is in the hound family and is widely recognized for its sleek, elongated body and stubby legs. They come in three varieties: wirehaired, longhaired, and smooth-coated. Dachshunds are small and loyal companions, and they're especially popular amongst city-dwellers due to their low maintenance lifestyle.
Dachshunds are not classified as non-shedding dogs. While their coat is fairly low-maintenance and does not require extensive grooming, Dachshunds do shed and some breeds more than others. Shedding will naturally reduce during the colder months when their coats become thicker, and increase during the hotter months when their coats thin. Regular brushing and vacuuming can help to reduce excess hair and keep your pet healthy and clean.
Dachshunds should not be fed bones, corn on the cob, grapes, raw eggs or meats, onions, or garlic as these foods can be dangerous for their health. It is also important to avoid foods that are high in fat or sugar and opt for low sodium foods instead. Any food that is not labeled or formulated for dogs should also be avoided. Be mindful of giving snacks as Dachshunds tend to gain weight quickly when overfed.
Before investing in a Dachshund, it's important to have the essentials to make sure your pup is comfortable and happy. This includes food and water dishes, a collar and a leash, a bed, a crate, a few toys, and some treats. Nail clippers, a brush, a flea and tick preventative, and an identification tag are also essential items for your Dachshund. Additionally, it's important to have a plan for potty training and obedience training and to establish a set schedule for your pup.
It's impossible to predict the exact size of an adult Dachshund puppy before it is around 15 months old. However, you can generally expect that your puppy will develop into a small to medium size adult. On average, your puppy will reach a mature height of 8-9 inches, and most of them reach a weight of 11-16 pounds. Factors that influence size such as diet, exercise, and genetics, can cause mature sizes to vary. The best way to assess your puppy's expected adult size is to look at the size of its parents.
Dachshunds may have a different opinion when it comes to their preference for swimming, but some do enjoy getting in the water! Dachshunds were bred to hunt badgers and other small mammals, and they have a predisposition to wanting to dig, so the water may be another place to explore for them. Not all Dachshunds will be enthusiastic about swimming, but those who are, will bond even more closely to their owners and enjoy splashing around in the pool or at a lake or beach.
Dachshunds can make great companions for first-time pet owners. With their gentle and outgoing nature, they are easy to bond with and have a lot of love to give. They may require a little more attention and moderate exercise than some other breeds, but they are loyal and adaptable and can thrive in part-time and full-time environments alike. As an owner, it's important that you provide them with the necessary training early on to help them become well-behaved and comfortable in different situations.
Training a Dachshund is an important part of properly caring for your pet, and the exact amount of time required can vary depending on the needs of your particular dog. Generally speaking, you should aim to dedicate at least 20-30 minutes of training time per day to your Dachshund. This can include basic commands, walks, games, or other activities meant to keep your pup mentally and physically fit. If you have the time, upping this to 40-50 minutes per day is highly beneficial to you and your pup.
