Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are amongst the most beloved breeds of dogs due to their unique characteristics. They are daring and adventurous, courageous and fiercely devoted to their owners. One of the most interesting things about Dachshunds is their long, low-slung body shape. This gives them a distinct and unusual conformation due to their long legs and short torso. This body type gives them incredible stamina for a breed of their size, enabling them to explore their environment with the tenacity of a much larger dog.
Dachshunds have short, thick coats that lay close to the body. They do not have very long or fluffy fur compared to other breeds, and their coats can come in a variety of colors and patterns. These coats can range from sleek and short to moderately long and wiry. Regardless of whether a Dachshund's coat is short or long, it is usually dense, velvety, and lying flat against the body. Dachshunds require very little grooming, with owners brushing their fur once or twice per week.
Dachshunds are small in size and have delicate stomachs, so it's important to feed them a diet that is suitable for them. As a general rule, you should never feed a Dachshund anything with high fat content, as this can cause digestion problems or other health issues. You should also be careful to not feed them chocolate, dairy, grapes, strawberries, raisins, alcohol, onions, garlic, or anything else that can be potentially toxic to them.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is an important part of ensuring that your pup feels safe and secure. Begin by making sure to create a secure, confined space, such as a puppy playpen, where you can keep an eye on them and make sure they stay safe. Puppy-proof all areas of the house they are allowed to wander in, by covering any cords or wires, blocking off any potential dangers, and providing chew toys for when they start teething.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. As a member of the hound group, they stand anywhere from 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. Generally they have an intelligent, alert, and bold temperament and are commonly known for their short, stubby legs and long body shape. With a variety of colors and coat types, Dachshunds are intelligent and eager to please, making them an excellent companion dog. Despite their small size, they can still be strong enough to hunt.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running if you properly introduced it to activities growing up. Prior to running, it is important to make sure your Dachshund is healthy enough for such an activity. After taking them for a check-up, it is also important to build up the running distances slowly, such that your Dachshund can build up the muscle and stamina necessary for such a task. You can also look into getting a running leash, as this will allow you to control the pace while also allowing your dog to explore without worrying as much.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are great for first-time owners due to their intelligence and adaptability. They are friendly, outgoing and loyal. Their size makes them easy to keep in small spaces, and they’re not overly active, so they’re great for those who don’t have a huge yard. Although they do have a strong prey drive due to their hunting history, with the right training, they can be incredibly well-behaved. Dachshunds are very intelligent and can pick up on commands and house-training quickly with consistency.
Training a Dachshund can be a challenging yet rewarding experience. The best approach for most owners is to use positive reinforcement and consistency. Begin with basic commands such as sit, stay, and come. As your Dachshund gets more comfortable, introduce more difficult commands. Treats can be used to reward your dog for obeying commands and showing appropriate behaviors. Make sure the treats are healthy and not too large, as Dachshunds tend to have small mouths. Training sessions should be kept to 10-15 minutes at a time.
