Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are widely known for their long, low-slung bodies and their characteristic bark. Did you know they come in three sizes—standard, miniature, and kaninchen—and in four coat varieties? They are also remarkable hunters, hence why they were commonly used to hunt badgers in Germany in the 18th Century. An interesting fact is that the breed was also developed to track hares and to participate in packs for hunting boar, deer, and foxes! Not only are they an intelligent breed, but they are also very loyal and animated canine companions.
Unfortunately, Dachshunds are classed as a mid-level or average shedding breed. Most Dachshunds do shed and depending on the season, they may shed more heavily at certain times. Grooming regular is important to help keep the shedding at manageable levels and to help ensure that your pet remains healthy and happy. If your Dachshund is a short-haired variety, you may be able to minimize shedding a bit more, but brushing and vacuuming regularly is still necessary.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs as they are small breeds that require specially formulated products that meet their needs. Since Dachshunds are prone to obesity, it is important to feed them the right food in the right proportions. Dachshunds may benefit from food that is high in protein for muscle health, as well as a balanced calcium and phosphorus ratio to keep bones and joints healthy. They also require high-quality carbohydrates to keep energy levels balanced. High fiber content helps manage digestive issues they are prone to.
Before getting a Dachshund, you'll want to make sure you have all the essential items a pup needs. This includes a quality food dish and water bowl, a leash, collar, and ID tag, a crate for training and nighttime, safe and fun toys, cozy bedding, doggie bags for waste, and a brush for its short coat. You'll also want a collar-mounted bell as dachshunds are known to have a tendency for barking if left unsupervised for too long.
Dachshunds typically reach a maximum weight of 32 pounds and a standing height of around 8 to 9 inches. Depending on the breed type, they may be smaller or larger, but generally, they are considered to be a small breed of dog. The breed is characterized by its short legs, long body, and characteristic fur coloring, which can range from solid black to a variety of other colors. Although these breeds are small, they are known for their intelligence and loyalty, making them a great companion for individuals looking for a loyal and devoted dog.
Dachshunds can enjoy swimming although it isn't their favorite activity. Some will dive right in, while others may take a bit of coaxing. It is important to ensure that they do not exhaust themselves, as their short legs easily tire out. Depending on your Dachshund's disposition, it may take some extra training to encourage them to swim. It is also beneficial to provide an escape route, such as a ramp, if too much swimming causes them to panic.
Generally, Dachshunds get along well with kids. They are an affectionate breed that tend to have a gentle disposition, although, like any breed, they can become fearful or aggressive so it is important to socialize them early. The key to a positive, healthy relationship between your Dachshund and your children is supervision, patience, and communication. Teach your children how to interact respectfully with your Dachshund so that both sides understand each other in a safe and loving environment.
Training a Dachshund can certainly come with its challenges, as Dachshunds, like all other dogs, can have stubborn streaks. That said, with positive reinforcement (like treats or verbal praise) and consistent daily practice, Dachshunds can be taught simple commands such as sit or stay fairly easily. Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience for those with the determination and patience to learn their behaviors the key is to remain consistent in your approach.
