Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a long-bodied, short-legged, loyal breed of hound with an incredible sense of smell and an affinity for treats. The breed can vary in size and come in two varieties: long-haired and short-haired. These dogs were bred in Germany during the 1600s to hunt badgers and other small game, but today, they make a great family hound. Dachshunds are known for their intelligence, silly personalities, and alert small barks.
No, Dachshunds are not non-shedding. While many people believe that this small breed does not shed, the reality is that they have double coats and do lose some hair throughout the year. All breeds naturally shed some fur, however Dachshunds are known to be relatively heavy shedders. It is important to brush their coat a few times per week in order to remove dead hairs and reduce the amount of loose fur on furniture, flooring, and clothing.
Dachshunds fare best on a high-quality, well-balanced diet that is tailored to their age and activity level. Puppies should be fed an age-appropriate puppy food that is specially formulated for their growth and development. Adult Dachshunds should be fed with dog food that is designed with their size and activity level in mind. Be sure to use a food that has a minimum of 26 percent protein and 14 percent fat, and has animal sources listed as the first three ingredients.
To be the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, there are a few key points to keep in mind. Providing your pup with plenty of exercise is of utmost importance; Dachshunds need daily walks and have a tendency to gain weight if not kept active. Additionally, establish a healthy feeding schedule and provide meals tailored to your pup's size and age. Finally, create a safe, comfortable, and secure environment for your pup with regular grooming, playtime, and practice of basic training.
Dachshunds are smaller breed dogs that typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds when they're fully grown. As a puppy, your Dachshund may weigh a mere 1.5 to 3.5 pounds! Because they are a smaller breed, their adult weight will be significantly less than most other breeds. Generally, a full grown Dachshund will stand between 8 to 9 inches tall, at the shoulder. An owner should expect an adult Dachshund to be 8 to 9 inches tall and 16-32 pounds in weight.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are highly active dogs and love getting outside for exercise. Running is a great way to keep them healthy and happy. Make sure to start out slow with shorter runs and build up to longer distances as your pup gets stronger and more comfortable. If you plan to take them for a long run, it's important to check with your veterinarian first to get a professional opinion on how much exercise your specific pup can handle. Always bring plenty of fresh water for your pup and check their body and behavior for signs of exhaustion.
Dachshunds can be a great pet for families with kids. They are very loyal pets that love to be loved and cuddled. They have a low maintenance grooming routine, and don't require a lot of exercise. Provided your children are taught to respect the animal, Dachshunds can make excellent family dogs that provide affectionate companionship. This breed is gentle, social, and patient which makes them a good fit for homes with children of all sizes. Dachshunds are very intuitive and bond easily with their human families.
Training a Dachshund can be a complicated process, as these types of dogs tend to be rather strong-willed. However, with patience and consistency, it is possible to teach your Dachshund basic commands and good behaviors with a consistent approach. With dedication, owners of Dachshunds can also train their dogs in more complex and challenging tasks such as obedience commands and agility training.
