Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of dog known for its long body and short legs. They are often referred to as 'wiener dogs' due to their resemblance to the shape of a hot-dog. Dachshunds are active, clever and playful, as well as being fiercely loyal and devoted to their owners. They come in two varieties: smooth-haired and wire-haired, with colors ranging from black, tan, wheaton, red, brindle and various combinations. They generally range from 8-12 pounds and are typically about 8-9 inches in height.
Dachshunds are a breed known for their low-shedding fur, making them a great option for people looking to keep pet hair and dander to a minimum. However, it's important to note that no do is 100% non-shedding. Dachshunds will still shed some hair, but typically at a much lower level than other dog breeds.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs. Generally, they require higher levels of fat and protein than many other breeds of dogs. In addition, Dachshunds need to maintain a healthy weight, which means monitoring their caloric intake and the types of food they eat. A balanced diet with limited grains and treats will help keep your Dachshund in optimal shape. Additionally, Dachshunds are prone to dental disease and do not naturally maintain strong dental health. To help keep their teeth strong, regularly scheduled dental treats and cleanings are highly recommended.
Preparing your home for your new Dachshund will make the transition smoother for you both. Start by creating a secure environment by puppy-proofing your home, limiting escape routes and placing obstacles between the puppy and hazardous areas. Raise the bottom of your couches, recliners and beds since Dachshunds are exploring creatures with a tendency to investigate tight places. Keep small household items such as laundry, shoes and children's toys elevated and secure. Provide a comfortable and cozy bed, and consider investing in a crate for peace of mind and ease of potty training.
Dachshunds are typically classified as small dogs. The exact breed size standard for the Dachshund varies between the American Kennel Club and the Fédération Cynologique Internationale. In America, Dachshunds the size is broken into three categories: Standard (over 16 pounds), Miniature (11-16 pounds) and //Toy (less than 11 pounds). In the F.C.I., breed sizes are divided into Standard and Miniature, with the Miniature being 5.5-8.8 pounds.
Dachshunds are an energetic and active breed that need plenty of exercise to stay healthy. Though their exercise needs can vary, all Dachshunds should have enough physical activity to keep them in good shape. Generally, walks and playtime lasting at least 30 minutes a day can provide a great foundation of exercise. Adding in a few short play sessions throughout the day can also help Dachshunds stay physically active. It is important to note that this breed is likely not suited for strenuous exercise since their short legs and long backs make them prone to health issues.
Dachshunds can get along with other pets, depending on the individual dog and the relationship between the two animals. Generally, Dachshunds are friendly and outgoing animals that don't display aggressive behaviour towards other pets. They are intelligent and playful, which can help them adapt to their new environment and other animals. With adequate socialization, exercise, and training, Dachshunds can get along with other animal family members, including cats and small animals like hamsters and guinea pigs.
Training a Dachshund can be relatively easy depending on the individual, however they do require patience and consistency. Dachshunds are intelligent dogs and thrive when given clear direction and their own boundaries. Having a basic understanding of canine behavior and learning styles can be helpful when it comes to working with a Dachshund’s specific temperament and energy level. Utilizing positive reinforcement, like praise and treats, are effective tools to use when training. Incorporating varied activities within training sessions can also keep a Dachshund entertained and focused.
