Questions & Answers
Dachshunds belong to a distinctive class of dogs classified as hounds, which come in two varieties of shorthaired and wirehaired. These unique-looking dogs have a long, low-set body, which is often compared to that of a sausage due to its appearance. Dachshunds were bred originally to hunt badgers and other burrowing animals, and their powerful low body helps them writhe their way through difficult and narrow spaces. They are incredibly loyal and loving companion dogs, and are known for their excitable personalities and energy.
The Dachshund coat is generally soft, short and glossy. Depending on the breed, it can range from fairly smooth to slightly wavy, and from quite thick to quite thin. Colors can range from solid black or brown, to parti-colored like brindle, dapple and piebald. The coat also serves as great protection from cold temperatures and weather elements for the short-legged and longer backed dogs. Whatever pattern or color the Dachshund coat may be, their coats are usually easy to maintain with regular brushing and occasional bathing.
Dachshunds should not be given chocolate, onions or mushrooms as these can be toxic. In addition, owners should avoid feeding them bones as these can splinter and cause obstruction or lacerations in the digestive system. Also, grapes, raisins and currants can cause kidney failure in some Dachshunds, so it's best to steer clear of these items. Although Dachshunds do differ in their dietary needs, avoid feeding table scraps, fried foods and fatty foods as they can lead to serious health problems.
Dachshunds are an active and alert dog breed, but they also need plenty of love and attention. Due to their long, narrow body, they are at an increased risk for back health problems, so it's important to keep them from excessive jumping, such as from the bed or couch. They are also prone to digging and barking, so it's important to provide adequate exercise and enrichment to prevent these behaviors. They may also need regular grooming, as they tend to get matted coats if neglected.
Yes, Dachshunds are typically considered small dogs. They usually weigh between 16-32 pounds, with a height of 8-9 inches when measured from the shoulder, which means they are relatively small compared to many other dog breeds. In comparison to a Chihuahua, Dachshunds are larger. Also, they are known to be low to the ground due to their short legs. Dachshunds tend to live in the range of 12-16 years, making them great companions for years to come.
It depends on several factors, such as the age, health, and energy level of your Dachshund. Generally, however, a healthy adult Dachshund should get to enjoy a minimum of 30 minutes of walking per day to stay fit and healthy. If your Dachshund is young or elderly, you might want to take them out more often, or for longer duration walks. Additionally, you should always check with your veterinarian to make sure the exercise you are providing is appropriate for your furry companion.
Dachshunds can be excellent pets for first-time owners! They generally have even temperaments, are known to be loyal and gentle, and require minimal exercise. Despite their small size, Dachshunds can be protective of their owners and their homes, making them great for first-time owners looking for a companion to watch over their property. Of course, it's always a good idea to research the breed and ensure it is the best fit for your lifestyle.
The best way to train a Dachshund is through positive reinforcement. Creating a trusting bond with your pet is essential, so take time to get to know them. Start by teaching your Dachshund the basic commands such as 'sit', 'stay', and 'come'. Use rewards for good behaviour such as treats and affection. Make sure to also consistently reinforce the negative behaviours you want them to stop, such as jumping up on people or barking. As you start training him, set up routines and boundaries so he can learn where he is in the house.
