Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most interesting breeds of dog due to their incredibly unique physical characteristics. Their elongated bodies, disproportionate short legs, and long snouts set them apart from other breeds. Their long bodies and short legs are also an adaptation to their purpose; they were bred specifically to hunt badgers on their native continent of Europe! And to make them even more interesting, they come in three coat varieties: smooth, wire-haired, and long-haired.
While Dachshunds are considered to be among the breeds of dogs that are less likely to shed, it is important to note that they are not a non-shedding breed. Generally speaking, you can still expect to have to do regular brushing and vacuuming to remove hairs from around the home. Dachshunds are double-coated, meaning that they have longer fur on their stomachs, legs, and ears; while the rest of the body has shorter fur that comes off in the shedding season.
Dachshunds require a balanced diet tailored to their age and activity level. For adult Dachshunds, premium dry dog food is recommended and should be supplemented with small amounts of lean protein, such as cooked chicken, beef, or turkey. Avoid feeding your Dachshund meat with the bone attached, as it can be a choking hazard, and never give them anything that contains artificial sweeteners, rawhide, or bones that can splinter on the digestive tract.
Yes, Dachshunds do have a few special requirements. They require regular grooming which includes brushing their coats and trimming their nails. Exercise is important to keep a Dachshund healthy and fit, so daily walks or playtime is essential. Additionally, Dachshunds, being a breed with a lot of enthusiasm, do best with obedience training so that they know how to behave inside and outside a home. To keep their teeth and gums healthy, regular teeth brushing is recommended.
Dachshunds, also known as 'wiener dogs,' come in two sizes: standard and miniature. The standard size dachshund weighs between 16 and 32 pounds and stands 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder. The miniature version of this breed is 11 pounds or less and 5 to 6 inches tall, typically. The cosmetic differences between the two sizes are minimal, but they make a huge difference in the amount of space they need. Some pet owners prefer the miniature size for smaller homes and apartments because of their compact size.
How much exercise your Dachshund needs depends on their age, weight, and activity level. Generally speaking, the rule of thumb is that they should get a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise each day. If your Dachshund is younger and has a lot of energy, at least an hour's worth of exercise is recommended. You can break the exercise into two, or even three, 30-minute walks throughout the day. This will keep them active and healthy. Be sure to provide enough mental stimulation to them by changing the walking route or incorporating tricks or commands into your walks.
Yes, Dachshunds usually get along very well with kids. Their size and temperament make them an ideal companion for children of all ages. Dachshunds are loyal, playful, smart, and loving, with a friendly demeanor that can bring joy to any household. They bond quickly with children, and their easy going personalities help foster a loving relationship. Kids should always be taught to be respectful and gentle with their Dachshunds, however, as with any breed of dog, proper supervision and guidance is always recommended.
Training Dachshunds requires time and dedication. The amount of time you need to dedicate each day will depend on your experience level and the age of your dog, but the general rule of thumb is at least 15 minutes a day. You should do more than 15 minutes if you're a beginner, more like 20 to 30 minutes, and for an older dog, up to an hour. If you're competing in shows or agility training, you may need to do more.
