Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a very recognizable and beloved breed of dog from Germany. They were originally bred to be strong and courageous hunters of badgers and other animals, which is why they often have long, low-set bodies.
Dachshunds have a range of coats depending on variety. Most have a short and smooth coat of fine hairs, while the Long-Haired Dachshunds have a longer and thicker coat that is smooth or wavy. Wirehaired Dachshunds have a coarse, slightly wavy, outer coat accompanied by a soft and shorter undercoat. All Dachshunds shed some, if not much, and should get regular brushing and bathing to maintain a healthy coat.
Dachshunds are active and have healthy appetites for their size. Depending on the size and age of your Dachshund, they will eat a variety of high-quality, nutritionally-balanced commercial dog food that is specifically designed for small breeds. The food should include animal proteins such as beef, chicken, turkey, salmon, or lamb, and it should be supplemented with fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, and apples.
Preparing for a new Dachshund can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Before bringing your furry friend home, it is important to do your research and be prepared for the responsibility that comes with owning a pet. You will want to make sure you have all of the necessary supplies such as food, a collar and leash, toys, and puppy pads. Additionally, it might be beneficial to familiarize yourself with training tips and look into quality veterinarians and groomers in your area. Be sure to also establish a schedule for playtime, exercise, and potty training sessions with your pup.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds typically measure between 8 and 9 inches in height and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds, however, average between 5 and 6 inches in height and weigh roughly 11 pounds or less. Therefore, depending on the size of the breed, Dachshunds can range from small to medium in size. Overall, Dachshunds are energetic little hounds that will bring lots of joy to their owners!
Dachshunds are an active breed that need a fair amount of exercise to stay happy and healthy. On average, a Dachshund should get 45-60 minutes of exercise every day— such as long walks, running off leash in a secure area, and two short play sessions. If your Dachshund is staying inside for most of the day, they need to be given plenty of mental stimulation to burn off excess energy. Exercise activities such as training, food puzzles, and toys that stimulate their natural prey drive can all help keep them fit and focused.
Yes, Dachshunds can be quite social and get along with other pets in the home; however, it is important to socialize them early and to provide them with plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Dachshunds usually do well with other cats and dogs, but if you plan to bring another pet home you should introduce them slowly and monitor their interactions. In some cases, Dachshunds will be less likely to get along with larger breeds as they may see them as a potential threat to their “territory”.
Dachshunds are incredibly intelligent by nature, and their eagerness to please their people means they can learn quickly and thoroughly. According to recent research, they are more trainable than many other breeds and have longer-lasting retention for learned commands which they continue to use even once the training period has ended. As a social breed, these smart canines are also excellent problem-solvers and can often figure out the best way to get what they want. Dachshunds can also observe and get to understand familiar people and their behaviors, responding adequately to the changes they detect.
