Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a very popular breed of dog, known for their long bodies, short legs, and lovable personalities. They are highly intelligent dogs and also make great companions. They are loyal, and need plenty of affection and attention. Dachshunds are known to be active and curious, and will need regular exercise and mental stimulation to stay fit and healthy. As they are a hunting breed, they have quite a high prey drive, so they should never be let off the leash in an unfenced area. With proper training and care they make great additions to many households.
Dachshunds are not a non-shedding breed. While their coats are generally on the shorter side, they still shed, just not as much as a longer haired breed like a Golden Retriever. You can expect to see a minimal amount of hair around the house, however regular brushing and maintenance with help minimize shedding and make it easier to keep around the house. If shedding is a major concern, consider other breeds that do not shed, like the Standard Poodle or Shih Tzu.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs that should be followed for them to get the best possible nutrition. They have sensitive stomachs and need a diet that is both low in fat and contains a balance of both proteins, carbohydrates, and vitamins. Feeding them the right foods can also help reduce the risk of developing serious health issues caused by obesity. It is important that they only have access to healthy treats, as treats are often high in fat and additives.
To become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, dedicate ample time each day to bonding activities, playtime, and positive reinforcement training. Establish a routine that allows for proper sleeping habits, nutrition, exercise, and socialization. It is also important to stay up-to-date with vaccinations and preventive health care as recommended by your veterinarian. Research breed specific traits and behaviors, as well as potential health issues, so you understand what to expect as your pup matures.
The ultimate size of a Dachshund puppy depends on many factors, such as its breed, nutrition, and environmental stimuli. Generally, as adults, Standard Dachshunds weigh between 16 and 32 pounds while Miniature or "Tweener" Dachshunds generally range from 11 to 16 pounds. Generally speaking, Dachshund puppies will double in size in the first 6 months of life and reach their full size by the age of 18 months to 2 years.
Dachshunds have an inclination to enjoy water and swimming. Every Dachshund is unique, some may love being in the water, while others may not be so enthusiastic about it. All 'wiener dogs' possess a strong prey drive, so if they see a critter close to water, they may take it upon themselves to use the water as a pathway to their prey. With that being said, Dachshunds can be taught to enjoy a relaxing swim with the right approach.
Yes, Dachshunds typically get along very well with children. They are usually quite playful and affectionate, making excellent companions. However, it's important to teach a child how to interact with a Dachshund to ensure a successful relationship. This will involve making sure the child handles the Dachshund gently and patiently, and also teaching the child how to correct unwanted behaviors like jumping or nipping. Additionally, it's crucial to supervise any playtime, especially if there are young children present, to ensure the safety of both the dog and the child.
Dachshunds are intelligent and eager to please, and are relatively easy to train. It's important to provide consistent, positive reinforcement through treats, praise, and consistency; this will help your Dachshund quickly learn commands and tricks. Begin Training As Soon As Possible. It's best to start training early in your Dachshund's life, as younger dogs are more likely to learn quickly. Start with basic commands like sit, stay, lie down and come. As you progress, you can incorporate more complicated commands and tricks. Use Positive Reinforcement.
