Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most interesting breeds of dogs due to their unique build and outgoing personality. These pups have an elongated body, short legs, and a distinctive silhouette, making them easily recognizable. But even more remarkable is their tenacity and spirit. Often dubbed the “sausage dogs”, these relentless dogs have a long history of hunting badgers and small animals, and their fearless and tenacious nature is sure to keep things entertaining.
The coat of the Dachshund is both versatile and unique. Generally speaking, most Dachshunds have a double-coat featuring a short, smooth outer coat with a long, silky undercoat. As a result, their fur is quite easy to groom and maintain, but still protecting them against the elements.
Owners should be cautious when it comes to feeding their Dachshunds, as certain foods can be risky for them. Dogs belonging to this breed are more prone to issues involving the digestive system, such as bloat. They should be fed high-quality food that is formulated specifically for small-breed dogs.
Before bringing your new Dachshund home, take some time to prepare for their arrival! Make sure their space is ready: set up their crate, bedding and toys, and use cleaning products that are safe for them. It's also important to understand how to take care of your pup. Research Dachshund nutrition, exercise needs, and grooming requirements, as well as topics like potty-training and obedience. Finally, make sure to connect with your vet and get an appointment booked so that your pup can get a check-up.
Dachshunds are a smaller breed of dog and usually reach sizes ranging anywhere from 8-9 inches tall from the shoulder when measured from the ground to the top of the shoulder blade, and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. While many larger, standard breed dachshunds measure closer to the larger size while miniature dachshunds will be closer to the smaller size. These proportions vary depending on the gender of the dog as males are typically larger than females in size.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are an active breed of dog that needs plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. Their thick, muscular bodies, combined with their long legs and short stature, make them great for running, jumping, and playing activities, as well as being reliable, hardworking members of the family. Dachshunds require a good deal of exercise to stay healthy, so regular walks, runs, and/or playtime are recommended. Additionally, they thrive when given a task to do, so engaging in obedience or agility courses with them can help them stay sharp and focused.
Dachshunds are a great choice for first-time dog owners! With their fierce loyalty and endearing personalities, they make wonderful companions. Dachshunds are typically easy going and can adjust to a wide range of living environments, making them a great dog to bring home. They are generally low maintenance, requiring only a moderate amount of exercise, grooming, and attention. They are also less likely to bond with only one person, welcoming their owners and all their family and friends.
Training a Dachshund can be very rewarding for both owner and pup. The key is to start early and remain consistent, offering plenty of praise and positive reinforcement when your pup has done something you like. Start out by teaching basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay.' You can use treats as positive reinforcement and be sure to give your pup plenty of love when they behave the way you want them to. Be sure you are consistent in your training methods and ignore any bad behavior from your Dachshund. Training should be done in short sessions to help maintain your pup's attention.
