Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a small and loyal breed of dog. They have elongated bodies and short legs, making them proficient diggers and perfect for getting into tight spaces. On average, full grown adult Dachshunds measure between 8 and 9 inches tall and can weigh up to 11-12 pounds. They come in two types: short-haired and long-haired. Dachshunds are very independent, but also very devoted to their family. They make excellent guard dogs, but may bark excessively if not properly trained.
Dachshunds generally do not shed as much as other breeds of dog, but no dog is completely non-shedding. Dachshunds have a single-layered coat, made up of a soft undercoat and a slightly coarser outer coat. The single-layered coat means that they don't shed seasonally, but their fur still needs regular brushing to reduce shedding. Some Dachshunds may shed more frequently than others, due to their different coat lengths.
Dachshunds, like any other breed of dog, should be fed a quality, balanced diet that contains all the essential nutrients needed by their body to stay strong and healthy. Although there isn't one single food recommended for all Dachshunds, they do best when fed food that is specially designed for their dietary needs. For that reason, it is recommended that they be provided with a high-quality dry dog food that is rich in proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in order to meet their specific energy needs.
Before bringing a Dachshund into your home, it's important to purchase several essential items. First and foremost, you should buy a leash, collar, and ID tag for your new companion. Additionally, a bed and cushion, several toys, and food and water dishes are essential for providing a comfortable space for your pooch. You may also want to consider getting a muzzle--Dachshunds are notorious for having loud barks and an outgoing personality. Last, but not least, it is imperative to visit your local vet and get an understanding of your pet’s health.
Dachshunds generally weigh between 16-32 pounds and measure between 8-11 inches, making them a small-to-medium sized breed. They are significantly smaller than many other popular breeds like retrievers, German Shepherds, or Great Danes, which typically range from 50-100 pounds. While dachsunds may not be considered as big as some of their canine counterparts, their larger-than-life personalities ensure that they can hold their own in any sized pack and make wonderful family dogs.
While it is certainly possible to take your Dachshund running with you, it is always best to check with your veterinarian first to ensure that doing so is safe and healthy for your pet. You’ll want to take into consideration the age, breed and physical condition of your Dachshund before making a decision. Depending on your specific situation, it may be advised to opt for lower-impact activities like walking or even underwater treadmill routines. Keep in mind, running for long distances may lead to injury in breeds with short legs.
Dachshunds can certainly be a great choice for first-time owners! The lively and affectionate nature of the breed makes them the perfect companion. They're also quite easily trained and can pick up on a few commands relatively quickly. They tend to be good with children and very loyal to their owners, so long as they are given the care, attention and occasional training that any dog requires.
The amount of time per day you need to dedicate to training a Dachshund can vary depending on the individual. Generally speaking, you should aim for around 15 to 30 minutes of active training time per day. This can include obedience lessons, crate and potty training, or fun activities such as agility or tricks. Additionally, you should also plan for some regular shorter training sessions and occasional longer sessions throughout the week. Taking your pup for regular walks or hikes on a daily basis is also important for their physical and mental wellbeing.
