Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most beloved breeds, and with good reason! Here are a few fun facts about them that you may not know: Their name means "badger dog" in German, as their early-used purpose was to hunt prey that moved underground like badger. While renowned for their long bodies, they come in two sizes: standard and miniature. They also have three different coat types: smooth, wire-haired, and long-haired. Interestingly, Dachshunds have unusually large hearing area due to their long, drooping ears.
No, Dachshunds are not non-shedding dogs. They do shed several times a year and require routine grooming to keep their coat and skin healthy. However, depending on its coat type, the amount of shedding can vary greatly. A Dachshund with a smooth coat will likely shed less than one with a longer and thicker coat. Regular brushing will help to keep the shedding amount under control, since this removes particularly loose hairs before they can be cast off.
Dachshunds require food specifically crafted for their unique needs. A top priority should be a protein-rich food with no added grains or fillers. Also important are high-quality fats like salmon oil, as well as plant-based ingredients such as sweet potatoes for essential vitamins and minerals that help keep your pup healthy. Additionally, natural sources of glucosamine and chondroitin help guard against joint health issues that can affect Dachshunds due to their long bodies and short legs.
Essential items to have before getting a Dachshund include food and water dishes, a comfortable and supportive bed, and a collar with a securely fastened identification tag. Additionally, you should purchase a grooming kit with brushes, combs, and various scissors to regularly groom your Dachshund's coat. Also, a leash, a crate or dog house, chew toys, and clean-up supplies such as bags or a vacuum cleaner will be beneficial for the both of you.
Dachshunds, or "long little dogs", have earned a reputation as being quite small pooches. While they are smaller than some other dog breeds, many prospective pet owners may wonder if they are big enough to be considered large dogs. The answer is yes, Dachshunds are generally considered to be medium-sized pooches with a slight lean toward being on the larger side. In comparison to toy breeds, which are usually under 10 pounds, dachshunds can easily weigh in around 15-30 pounds depending on the breed.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running! It's important to keep in mind that each breed has its own needs, so you may want to consult your vet about whether running is suitable for your pup. Generally speaking, though, dachshunds are quite active and love to move, so as long as you start at a comfortable pace and distance and gradually increase as the pup gets used to it, running is a great way to exercise your Dachshund and keep them healthy.
Dachshunds get along well with kids when they have been properly socialized and trained. With their friendly and playful personalities, Dachshunds make gentle and loving family pets. They have an easygoing temper and lots of patience, which make them a great companion for kids. With an instinct to protect their loved ones, Dachshunds make for great protective guardians. It is also important to remember that all dogs, especially small ones such as Dachshunds, should be supervised when around small children.
The amount of time needed to train a Dachshund may vary depending on the individual's age, temperament, and the behaviors you wish to focus on. Generally, about 10 minutes 2-3 times a day with dedicated training sessions is sufficient for most Dachshunds. Additionally, providing your pup with regular practice and opportunities to review their lessons can ensure they stay sharp and motivated. When it comes to training, consistency is key. Make sure to provide your Dachshund with consistent daily progress with further reward for good behavior.
