Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied German breed of hound, originally bred to hunt badgers. They are intelligent, lively, brave dogs and make friendly and devoted companions. Dachshunds come in three sizes: standard, mini, and miniature, and in multiple coat colors and patterns including smooth, long-haired, and wire. They have a sturdy, muscular build and expressive, appealing eyes and a true hound face. Their most distinguishing feature is their short legs, and their long, thick tails which should be held high when they run.
Dachshunds have a short and dense coat that usually comes in two varieties: longhaired and smooth. The smooth or short-haired variety has a sleek build with a thin, shiny coat and little to no undercoat, while the long-haired variety has a longer, wavy coat and sometimes an undercoat. The color of their fur can range from red to black and tan, dapple, brindle, or a mix of other colors. Each breed also has distinct fur markings.
The best dog food for Dachshunds should take into consideration their small size, large appetite and sensitive stomachs. A dry food that is specifically designed for small breed dogs is ideal, as it has specially formulated kibble pieces that are easier for them to chew. Look for quality ingredients like real meat proteins as well as vitamins and minerals that promote healthy hair, skin, teeth and bones. It should also be low in fillers such as corn, wheat and soy.
Before getting a Dachshund, it's important to invest in a few essentials to ensure your pup is safe and comfortable. First, a good quality collar and leash should be bought to provide a way to walk and train your Dachshund. A bed and crate are also a must, as well as chew toys and treats to help with potty training. As for grooming, a brush and nail clippers are useful for keeping your pup’s fur and nails in check.
Dachshunds may be small in size, but they can be considered big dogs when it comes to their personalities. Standing at 5-9 inches (13-23 cm) tall, and weighing between 16 and 32 pounds (7-14 kg), they are certainly one of the smallest dog breeds. However, their upbeat, rambunctious and loving behavior can make them seem like they have the bigger personalities of much bigger breeds. They can also be remarkably brave and loyal, even with their small stature.
Dachshunds, commonly known as sausage dogs or wiener dogs, have tons of energy and love to play. They are the classic lapdogsmall in size but mighty in personality. With an appropriate amount of exercise and mental stimulation, they'll keep up with any family's active lifestyle. They love walks, games of fetch, and chasing a ball around the yard, making them an ideal pet for an active home. Dachshunds are also eager to participate in agility, obedience, lure coursing, and many other activities.
Dachshunds can make wonderful companions for first-time owners as long as the owner is prepared to learn about and understand their breed-specific needs. Dachshunds are generally full of energy and eager to please, and they tend to be intelligent and inquisitive. They crave attention and respond well to consistent and gentle training, as well as rewards such as treats. Owners should also consider that Dachshunds are quite independent and often stubborn so they may require patience and a good sense of humor.
Training a Dachshund requires diligent and consistent work, but the amount of time necessary to adequately train them will vary depending on the individual dog. Generally speaking, it is recommended to spend at least 30 minutes per day training your Dachshund, although that can be broken into shorter increments of 15 or even 10 minutes. If possible, be sure to provide regular, consistent training in order to prevent boredom and to maximize your Dachshund's learning ability.
