Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a truly fascinating breed! Perhaps the most interesting thing about them is their history, as they have a long pedigree of nearly 400 years. Dachshunds were bred to be small hunting hounds, and today are a much beloved family companion. Their short legs and elongated bodies require them to move in a series of hops, rather than a traditional lope, making them instantly recognizable. This breed is also surprisingly affectionate, and loves being included in family activities, particularly outdoor activities or cuddling.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are considered low to medium shedders. Due to their single-coat of fur, rather than the double coat of Fur featured on other breeds of dogs, they shed less and won't leave clumps of fur around your home. However, they do still shed their fur, and should be brushed regularly to remove the dead fur and minimize shedding in the home. Dachshunds also require regular grooming to keep their fur healthy and short coat preened and in tiptop condition.
Dachshunds are relatively low maintenance dogs when it comes to their diet, and typically they eat a combination of wet and dry commercial dog food interspersed with occasional treats. Also, raw food diets are becoming increasingly popular for Dachshunds, with recommended raw menu items being muscle meat, organ meat, bones, vegetables, eggs, cottage cheese, and yoghurt. Depending on the size of the Dachshund, it is recommended that adults should eat 1.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special requirements that should be taken into consideration when caring for them. Generally speaking, they do best in temperate climates because of their short coats and should not be kept in a cold environment or be left outside too often. They also need a consistent exercise routine to stay healthy and happy and should be walked, played with, or taken to doggy daycare occasionally. They are also prone to back and joint issues so you should never let them jump off furniture or go up and down stairs on their own.
Dachshunds generally reach a maximum size of about 16 to 32 pounds. The average height for a fully-grown Dachshund is about 8 to 9 inches in length, with shoulder hight measuring about 5 to 8 inches. The German breed standard is for the Dachshund to be long-bodied and short-legged, which makes them an ideal companion for activities such as snuggling and cuddling while sitting on a lap.
Yes, Dachshunds can be considered active dogs, albeit not overly so. They are likely to have bursts of energy at random intervals, but also have times of relaxation. With proper exercise, they make great companions for long walks or playing in the yard. However, their small size can be deceptive and they can tire quickly, so it's important to keep their activity levels appropriate for their size. All in all, they are an active breed, but it's important to recognize their need for rest and give them the opportunity to rest when necessary.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can make great family companions because of their loyalty and devotedness to their owners. When raised properly, they can be very gentle and patient with children. Dachshunds tend to be more patient and tolerant with kids than with other pets because of their herding tendencies. Furthermore, due to their cute size and appearance, children find them particularly irresistible making them even more attractive as family house pets. That said, as with any dog, supervision is recommended when Dachshunds and kids are interacting to ensure everyone remains safe.
Yes, Dachshunds are smart. They are a highly-intelligent breed that excels in their natural abilities to investigate, problem-solve, and obey commands. Dachshunds have sensitive hearing, excellent scenting capabilities, alert behavior, agility, and loyalty. They are active and curious, with a keen interest in their surroundings. They learn quickly and are always eager to please, making them great family companion pets. Dachshunds can even engage in complex activities such as agility, search and rescue, and even narcotics detection.
