Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a type of hound ranging from miniature to large-sized dogs with a long and slender body. They are a very loyal and resourceful breed that have been around since the 1500s, having originated in Germany. Dachshunds are often nicknamed as 'sausage dogs' due to their shape. Additionally, Dachshunds are used in a variety of hunting scenarios and can easily adapt to different types of terrains.
While no dog is completely non-shedding, some dogs shed less than others and Dachshunds could definitely be considered one of them. Owners should expect that their Dachshund will shed at least a bit all year round; however, they may go through heavier shedding seasons too. During these times, regular brushing and bathing the dog can help reduce the amount of hair around the house. Regularly cleaning its bedding and other areas where the Dachshund spends most of its time is also important.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs. It's important to ensure that their food is formulated for their size, as larger breed foods can increase their risk of obesity. They should also have a high-quality protein source, like chicken or fish, as a primary ingredient. Also, Dachshunds can be prone to pancreatitis, so they may need a low-fat diet to prevent stomach sensitivities and help maintain a healthy weight.
Preparing for a Dachshund requires a lot of foresight and planning. First, you'll need to secure and organize the proper supplies and materials for your new pup. Food, toys, and bedding should be gather beforehand. Additionally, ensure that your home is fur-friendly and safe for a pup with items like wires or cords hidden away and furniture that's been puppy-proofed. Make sure to research the health and wellness needs of a Dachshund and that they receive regular preventative care.
The size of your Dachshund puppy largely depends on their parentage. Generally speaking, Dachshunds are classified as either standard, miniature or kaninchen and can range in size from 8-32 pounds. The miniature and kaninchen varieties will typically weigh somewhere between 8-11 pounds, whereas a standard Dachshund might typically weigh in at 16-32 pounds. It is important to remember that individual Dachshunds may vary in size from the “standard”.
While every dachshund is unique and some may find great joy in a romp in the water, most do not enjoy swimming. A wiry-haired breed, they are not particularly built for long-term or even short-term immersion. Unlike some water-loving breeds, Dachshunds simply do not possess the natural abilities or coat to be strong swimmers.
Dachshunds can be a great choice for first-time owners, provided they give the breed the attention it needs. Dachshunds are energetic and highly intelligent, making them fun companions for a new pet owner. They are savvy enough to pick up basic obedience quickly, while also making great watchdogs due to their loyalty and independent nature. Moreover, their small size is also a plus, as it requires less space and energy to take care of them.
Training Dachshunds requires time and dedication. The amount of minutes each day to train them successfully can vary depending on the age, size, breed, and personality of the dog. Generally speaking, it's recommended to commit to at least 20-30 minutes a day dedicated to training. If possible it's beneficial to have multiple sessions a day with short, productive bursts of activities rather than having one long session. It's best to be consistent to help the dog get into a routine and be successful.
