Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of dog with short legs and long bodies, known for their intelligence and loyalty. They have an average life span of 12-15 years, depending on their size. They are generally friendly and social, although they can also be quite independent and a bit mischievous. Dachshunds don't require a lot of physical activity, but they do need plenty of mental stimulation and regular playtime. These dogs do best on a high-quality, balanced diet to keep their energy levels up.
Generally speaking, no, Dachshunds are not considered to be non-shedders. They typically shed heavily twice a year in the spring and fall, and lightly all year round. To help manage the seasonal shedding, regular brushing will help to reduce the amount of loose fur that can accumulate in the house – many owners find this to be an essential part of their weekly grooming routine. During the heavier shedding seasons, more frequent daily brushing is recommended to remove the dead fur and prevent mats, tangles, and itchy skin.
Dachshunds should have a diet tailored to their individual needs as determined by their age, activity level, and current state of health. High-quality dry food specially marketed to small-breed dogs is usually an adequate choice, though puppies may need wet food or food with a higher fat content. Whichever option you choose, read the label carefully to make sure it contains enough proteins, carbohydrates, and fats and features the right balance of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, Dachshunds will benefit from supplements such as fatty acids or joint-care formulas and occasional treats.
To prepare your home for your new Dachshund, it is important to puppy-proof your home and purchase some essential items. Start by ensuring that all potentially hazardous items are away from the reach of your pup, and that any potentially fragile items are secured or stored out of the pup's reach. Invest in a sturdy harness and collar, as well as toys, food bowls, and other accessories tailored to your pup's needs. Make sure to exercise your pup to keep them exuberant, and to create a space where they feel safe.
Dachshunds are not usually considered to be big dogs since their standard size usually falls within the range of 12-13 inches and they tend to weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. They are considered to be small to medium breeds, but their long bodies and short legs make them appear larger than their actual size. Although their size might not qualify them to be among the larger dog breeds, their personalities certainly make up for it!
A Dachshund's daily exercise needs can vary greatly, depending on their age, size, and breed. As a general rule of thumb, Dachshunds should receive at least 30 minutes of walking per day. However, it's important to monitor your pup's behavior and listen to their cues if they appear to want more exercise, increase their walking time accordingly. When walking your Dachshund, make sure you keep the leash short to ensure their safety and keep them from pulling too much.
Dachshunds can make great family pets, as they tend to be very loving and loyal. Generally, Dachshunds are good with kids and enjoy their company. With a patient and loving approach, they will easily bond with your children. Of course, as with any breed of dog, early socialization and training is important for a good relationship between children and the dog. It is important to ensure your children understand the relationship between a dog and a child – the child should treat the dog with respect and be aware that the dog needs it's own space and alone time.
The exact amount of minutes per day that is optimal for training Dachshunds depends on the individual pup, however, a good rule of thumb is to provide approximately 30 minutes to an hour of structured training sessions each day to ensure the pup is getting the proper amount of exercise and learning. It's important to ensure your pup has plenty of time for play and rest as well so that it can stay relaxed and focused during training sessions. Breaking up training sessions throughout the day can help keep your pup engaged and in an optimal learning state.
