Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, long-bodied breed of dog thought to have originated in Germany. They have short legs and long, narrow chests. They are sometimes called "weiner dogs" or "sausage dogs" due to their shape. They usually weigh between 12-32 pounds and are around 8-9 inches tall. Dachshunds come in two varieties smooth-haired and wire-haired and in six solid colors, with or without various markings. They have loyal personalities and are affectionate, comical, and clever companions.
Dachshunds are not non-shedding dog breeds, however compared to many other breeds they may shed a relatively small amount of fur. Allowing them regular brushing sessions can help reduce the amount of fur found around the home, as well as help maintain the long coat the breed is known for. Part of being a responsible dog owner for Dachshunds is ensuring the coat is frequently groomed and any shedding fur is vacuumed up regularly.
Dachshunds require a specialized diet to help promote healthy growth and ensure that they get the nutrients they need. When deciding on the best dog food for your Dachshund, the key is to select a high-quality food that caters to this breed's specific nutritional requirements. A diet that is tailored to their size and activity level is important for both short and long-term health. You may also want to look at foods that are formulated to promote healthy skin and coat, as Dachshunds can be prone to skin allergies and other health issues.
To properly prepare for your new Dachshund, you should start by getting familiar with the breed of dog, as each breed is unique. Familiarize yourself with proper nutrition for the breed, as certain types of food may be better suited for your Dachshund's specific needs. Make sure you're familiar with any preventative health care measures, such as vaccinations and dental care. Start researching local veterinarians, especially one who specializes in small animals. Invest in some puppy-proofing and pet supplies such as toys, bedding, and a dog crate to help with training.
Dachshunds come in three different sizes – standard, miniature, and tweenie. Standard Dachshunds, also known as the larger breed, can range anywhere from 16-32 lbs. Miniature Dachshunds weigh less than 11 lbs. and reach heights of only 5-6 inches. Lastly, “Tweenie” Dachshunds are usually classified as those between the mini and standard in size. The weight range for Tweenies typically falls within the 12-16 lb. range.
Absolutely Dachshunds are very active dogs! They are highly affectionate and loyal companions who enjoy running, playing and exploring. They're tireless, and have boundless energy, which means they can keep up with their human pals on demanding walks and hikes. Not only that, they often actively participate in activities like flyball, agility and obedience, making them an ideal breed for the active human companions. Being active also helps them to stay healthy so, with enough exercise they can remain happy and feisty for years to come.
Yes, Dachshunds can make great family pets, and can even be good with kids if properly trained and supervised. They generally form strong bonds with members of their own household and, if socialized from a young age, can learn to get along with children. This breed is loyal, energetic, and intelligent, making them a great breed for kids, but their long and easily-injured backs also means that extra special attention is needed to ensure your child is appropriately caring for them.
Training a Dachshund requires patience and consistency. Start by establishing yourself as the leader of the pack. Reward desirable behaviors and try to ignore behaviors you don't want repeated. In addition to positive reinforcement, it's important to emphasize the basics of potty training, crate training, and socializing. Be sure to provide plenty of treats as rewards during each training session and provide plenty of verbal praise, as Dachshunds absolutely love hearing they are doing a good job. Keep sessions short and be sure to be both patient and flexible.
