Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, long-bodied hound-type dog breed of the terrier family. Generally, it has short, furry legs and elongated body. It features a unique, iconic silhouette and lovable personality. Dachshunds have a smooth, sleek or rough-haired coat in different length, colors and patterns that make them great family companion dogs. They are pleasant dogs who enjoy playtime, good food and lots of affection.
No, Dachshunds are not non-shedding. Generally speaking, Dachshunds shed an average amount of fur throughout the year, most often during the spring and fall. Some individuals may shed more than others, so it is important to check with your breeder about the potential level of shedding before committing to bringing one home. Brushing their coat twice a week and keeping up with regular grooming appointments can help reduce shedding and keep their coat looking healthy and shiny. Additionally, there are certain dog foods that are specifically formulated to help reduce shedding.
It is important to consider what you feed your Dachshund as their diet plays an extremely important role in their overall health. It is best to refrain from feeding Dachshunds human food that is high in fat and sugar such as candy, chips, and soda because these can cause digestive issues in the long-term. Additionally, it is not safe to feed your Dachshund table scraps or bones as small pieces can become lodged in their throats or small intestines, causing a blockage and resulting in serious abdominal issues.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires dedication and a commitment to establishing a strong bond with your pup. Start by researching your pup's breed, so that you understand their personality traits and any health conditions they may be at risk for. Take your pup to the vet for regular check-ups, follow any specific advice they give you regarding your pup's overall care. Spend quality time with your pup daily this will strengthen your bond and show your pup that you care. Make sure your pup has plenty of exercise and mental stimulation so their energy is channeled properly.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: Standard and Miniature. Standard size Dachshunds typically range in length from 8-9 inches at their shoulder and weigh 16-32 lbs, while Miniature Dachshunds typically range in length from 5-6 inches at their shoulder and weigh 11 lbs or less. Generally, any Dachshund that weighs over 11 lbs is considered Standard, while any dog weighing 11 lbs or less is considered Miniature.
Dachshunds may vary in their enjoyment of swimming. Some will jump in the water without hesitation, while others need a bit more time to get used to it. Generally, a Dachshund's coat and size make it difficult for them to enjoy swimming, since their coat is waterproof, making it difficult to stay afloat, and their long body makes them prone to sinking lower in water. That said, with patience and practice, some Dachshunds can become very good swimmers with help and supervision from their humans.
Dachshunds can make wonderful companions for kids, if they are socialized with children from an early age. Generally, Dachshunds are friendly, playful, and affectionate, making them ideal pets for families with young kids. Their natural affinity for bond with humans will also help them to build strong relationships with children. They also are not very large, so kids can interact with them without fear of being overpowered.
Dachshunds can be very intelligent dogs. With proper socialization, training, and proper exercise, they can learn new tasks and tricks with relatively little effort. While they do inherit some hunting instincts, which can lead to occasional stubbornness, their intelligence should not be underestimated. They are highly trainable and respond well to positive reinforcement. With guidance, they can develop great behaviors like learning tricks, playing fetch, and even competing in dog sports. In addition, they are also adept at solving puzzles or opening latched doors.
