Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a type of small dog, easily recognized by its short legs and long body. It is thought they originated hundreds of years ago, bred by German hunters to flush out badgers and rabbits. Although they have a fierce appearance, Dachshunds love human company and usually exhibit friendly, energetic behaviors. This breed is often used in dog shows as their unique shape and coloring make them stand out in the crowd. They also have a good sense of smell and can make excellent watch dogs.
Dachshunds shed minimally compared to many other breeds, but unfortunately, they are not non-shedding. They have a double-coated fur which requires regular brushing and grooming to avoid tangles. While some pet owners may experience less shedding if they are brushing and grooming their pet on a frequent basis, it is important to remember that minimal shedding is normal for the breed. It is recommended that Dachshund owners brush their pet a minimum of once a week, to ensure that its coat remains healthy and tangle-free.
It is important to provide your Dachshund with a diet that is healthy and balanced. Many pet owners opt for commercial kibble, but there are other options as well. A raw diet, cooked lean meats, and unprocessed grains can all be beneficial. Beyond the type of food chosen, you may want to consider how much to feed your pet on a daily basis. This is largely dependent on their age, breed, size, and activity level. Providing your Dachshund with a nutritious diet is crucial for their overall wellbeing and longevity.
Preparation for your new Dachshund should include making sure your home is safe, setting aside quality bonding time, and understanding the breed needs. Start by evaluating your safe spaces, potential hazards, and confinement options for if needed. Pets cannot wait for human assistance, so identifying and removing potential trouble spots is imperative. Secondly, plan to take special time, after a trip to the veterinarian, to interact with your pet. Allow your dog to trust you and adjust to their new home and family. Lastly, as a smart owner, research the breed's needs and lifestyle.
Dachshunds are a small-sized breed of dog that can weigh anywhere from 16 to 32 pounds as an adult. The breed can grow up to 8 inches tall at the shoulder and can possess short or long coats. According to the American Kennel Club, Dachshunds typically measure between 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder for standard-sized Dachshunds or up to 11 inches tall for miniature Dachshunds. Overweight Dachshunds may appear to be larger.
How much time a Dachshund should spend walking each day depends on a variety of factors. Age, diet, general health and activity level should all be considered before answering this question definitively. However, in general, a healthy and active adult Dachshund should get 30-45 minutes of walks each day. For puppies, the time should be shorter – no more than 15-20 minutes a day. Additionally, a Dachshund's exercise should also include playtime, playing fetch and other activities; these activities are important in helping to keep your companion fit and healthy.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can luckily get along with other pets. While a Dachshund may naturally be a bit protective, most will co-exist fairly amicably with cats or other dogs. With proper socialization and management, a good relationship with other pets can be established. It is important to provide appropriate supervision when they are in each other's presence. Being aware of body language and signals is essential in order to prevent any potential conflicts.
Training a Dachshund can be both easy and challenging. Just like any other breed of dog, their personalities differ and some may be more adept at learning than others. Generally speaking, Dachshunds are fairly independent and may be stubborn when it comes to training. However, their intelligence and desire to please their owners can make them some of the most motivated breeds to work with. Patience and consistency are key in developing a bond with your Dachshund and teaching them desired behaviors.
