Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have a long and interesting history, and there are many fun facts to learn about them! For instance, despite their short legs, they have a surprising amount of stamina and energy and can actually jog for long periods of time. They were first bred in Germany in the 1600s as hardworking hunting dogs, and had to have long ears and soft thick fur to be able to wade through water and thick undergrowth in search of their quarry.
The Dachshund's coat is quite unique! It's generally a short-haired breed, however, some long-haired varieties may exist. Generally, the coat is smooth, silky and lustrous, and it may have a 'shine' to it. Depending on the particular breed, the colors of a Dachshund's coat can vary in shades from deep chestnut to reddish and golden hues. They may also have white markings for contrast. In some cases, the coat may be wiry and not as lustrous.
Dachshunds should not be fed chocolate, onions, garlic, avocado, macadamia nuts, grapes, raisins, or any other type of fruit that contain toxins. Additionally, some human foods such as dairy products, excess fat, or processed carbohydrates should be avoided as well. Dachshunds should instead be fed high-quality food designed specifically for their small breed. Such food will provide them with necessary nutrients and vitamins for healthy growth and development. Foods with artificial ingredients, chemicals, or preservatives should be avoided to prevent any type of digestive or health issues.
To become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, it is important to establish an efficient routine for the training, feeding, and playtime session, and provide them with a safe and comfortable environment. It is also important to socialize your puppy with other pets, people, and places. Make sure to be consistent and provide a positive reinforcement when your pup learns new tricks or follows instruction. Proper exercise is essential for a Dachshund, so take the time to walk, run, and play fetch with your furry friend.
Dachshunds have been traditionally classified as small dogs, often referred to as “toy” or “pocket” dogs due to their diminutive size. In fact, the American Kennel Club currently categorizes Dachshunds as a small sans size at 11-16 pounds. However, despite their small stature, these delightfully spunky dogs are classified as large-sized dogs in other breed registries, such as the British Kennel Club.
Dachshunds are certainly capable of swimming and can enjoy pool time with their family. Many owners report that although their Dachshunds may not be strong swimmers, they do enjoy a dip in the pool and can even progress to become comfortable in the water. It is important to note that this breed is prone to back injury, so it's important to take them slow as they get comfortable in the water, using swimming aids according to their age and strength. Keeping a watchful eye while they swim and providing frequent breaks will help keep them comfortable and safe.
Dachshunds are great dogs for first-time owners, as they are small, outgoing, and easy to train. If given appropriate exercise, they can be a loyal and lively companion for owners of all life stages. With regular activity like walks and runs, these pups can help a first-time owner to stay active and healthy. They are eager to please their owners and thrive under guidance; however, they can be quite stubborn, so potential owners should be patient while housebreaking and training.
Training a Dachshund can be both challenging and rewarding. This is due to their intelligent yet strong personalities. It is important to provide consistency and clear communication when it comes to training a Dachshund, as they can quickly become confused if there is too much inconsistency. Positive reinforcement and clear, consistent boundaries are key components to any successful training regimen. Additionally, Dachshunds can be quite sensitive, and constructive criticism will be met stronger than necessary force or harsh criticism.
