Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dogs that are known for their long body and short legs. One of the most interesting things about them is their personality. While many dog breeds have a natural drive to guard or participate in certain activities, Dachshunds have a much more laid back personality and are often content to just relax around the house. They are also extremely loyal and loving companions that have a strong bond with their owners. Dachshunds also excel at scenting, tracking, and chasing activities and can spend hours exploring and following a scent.
Dachshunds are not considered to be a non-shedding breed of dog, though most of their fur is contained within their dense double coat, which does help to lessen the shedding. Although they do not shed as much compared to other breeds, Dachshunds are still known to shed their fur, with heavier shedding during the changing of the seasons. Grooming your Dachshund regularly, such as brushing their fur weekly, will help keep their fur from shedding around the house as much.
Dachshunds should not be fed chocolate, macadamia nuts, grapes or raisins; these can all be extremely toxic for them. Additionally, they should not be given bones or chews of any kind, as these can cause throat and digestive irritation, and could even lead to gastrointestinal blockages. To keep them healthy, their diet should mostly be composed of high-quality, commercial, age-appropriate kibble supplemented with small amounts of lean meats, fruits, and vegetables.
Yes, Dachshunds do have some special requirements that pet owners should be aware of. Firstly, Dachshunds are prone to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). To help prevent this, Dachshunds should not be over-exercised and should be kept at a healthy weight. They are also susceptible to dental problems, so they should have their teeth monitored and professionally cleaned regularly. Dachshunds also should be socialized from an early age, as they can be easily excitable and this can lead to them having behavioural issues.
Dachshunds are generally classified as small dogs. These dogs typically weigh 12-32 pounds and stand 8-9 inches from the shoulder down, which puts them in the small category when it comes to breed size. Their playful, affectionate nature make them popular breeds for apartment living; they're nimble enough to get around in a small space, plus they're devoted companions that love to be with their owners. In addition to being of small size, Dachshunds tend to have short fur, and their short legs make them extra-cute.
Dachshunds have mixed opinions when it comes to swimming. Some Dachshunds take a splash in the water right away whereas others may be hesitant, and some even flat out refuse. It can depend on the personality of the individual Dachshund and how they were socialized at a young age. In general, Dachshunds may enjoy splashing around in shallow water or paddling around in a kiddie pool, but when it comes to deep water, they tend to be more cautious and less likely to take the plunge.
Dachshunds have a great reputation as being quite sociable and friendly around other pets. Ultimately, each Dachshund's level of compatibility with other pets may vary and their ability to get along will depend on factors like their personality, the other pet's personality, the degree of socialization, and the amount of playtime and attention the Dachshund is receiving. Generally speaking, with proper socialization and a good temperament, most Dachshunds tend to get along with other animals that they live with, such as cats, small dogs, rabbits, and birds.
Training a Dachshund can be both an enjoyable and challenging experience. Dachshunds are known for their strong-willed and independent natures, so it is important to take a consistent, patient, and positive approach to socializing and obedience training. Set realistic expectations in regards to the amount of time it will take to see progress and understand that different Dachshunds may require more or less time depending on their unique personalities.
