Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of dog, originating from Germany, which is recognizable by its long body and short legs. It is sometimes known as the "sausage dog" or "wiener dog" due to its shape. Dachshunds come in a variety of colors and have either a smooth, wirehaired or longhaired coat. Dachshunds are an alert and courageous breed. They can make good watchdogs, as they bark when alarmed or when an unfamiliar person is present.
Dachshunds have a unique and iconic coat that can vary in color, texture, and volume. On average, they have an oily, medium length coat that is normally wiry, smooth, or somewhere in between. The texture of the coat affects the color of the Dachshunds smooth-coated Dachshunds come in black, tan, and shades of red or chocolate, while wire-haired Dachshunds boast a rough reddish-brown coat with black tips.
Dachshunds, sometimes referred to as wiener or sausage dogs, have specific dietary needs due to their long, slender bodies and short legs. Like all canines, their diet should be balanced, nutritious, and include high-quality dog food specifically designed for their breed size. Additionally, they may need more frequent meals as opposed to large meals to avoid becoming overweight or obese. Small amounts of lean meats, such as chicken or fish, are great options. A combination of canned and dry foods are also beneficial. Other sources of protein include boiled eggs, cottage cheese and yogurt.
Yes, Dachshunds do have some specific needs that should be taken into consideration when deciding to bring one home. Dachshunds require consistent training to help them become obedient and well behaved, and they need daily exercise and plenty of room to run. Additionally, Dachshunds may have a tendency to gain weight so owners must be mindful of their diet and be sensitive to portion control. Grooming should also be considered, as Dachshunds have a dense coat that requires regular brushing to avoid mats and tangles.
Dachshunds, commonly referred to as "wiener dogs," are generally considered small dogs, as they typically weigh anywhere between 16-32 lbs. They are long-bodied and short-legged, resembling a miniature version of a standard sized dog. While Dachshunds are slightly bigger than the average small breed, they have not traditionally been referred to as "big dogs." When compared to larger breeds such as Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers, which range from 50-85 lbs, Dachshunds are far smaller.
Dachshunds can be taught to enjoy swimming, but it is not an instinct for them as it is for some other breeds. Some Dachshunds will take to swimming quite well, while others may be nervous or resistant. If a Dachshund has not been around water since they were a puppy, they may not be as apt to enjoy swimming. It's important to familiarize puppies with water early on, so they can learn that it's nothing to fear. Taking a Dachshund swimming can also give them much needed exercise.
Dachshunds can make excellent family dogs! They are an incredibly loyal breed and can become devoted to all members of a family. Dachshunds are usually good with children and other pets, but may be territorial and snippy towards strangers. Dachshunds are also quite alert, intelligent, and eager to please, making them easy to train. However, they do require an owner that is prepared to handle their occasional stubbornness. Although they are quite small, Dachshunds tend to have spirited personalities and plenty of energy that can be tiresome for some.
The amount of daily training required for Dachshunds will vary based upon several factors. Age, disposition, and frequency are all considerations that can affect the number of minutes each day you should dedicate to training. Generally speaking, puppies (who are in the process of learning basic commands, socialization, and behavioral habits) require the most time, usually 20 to 30 minutes for roughly three to four sessions each day. From there, it’s important to allow for lots of positive reinforcement and several potty breaks throughout the day.
