Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly unique and endearing breed! Some fun facts about them include the fact that they were once bred to hunt badgers, tending to seek out small, dark places to flush out their prey. They can come in a variety of sizes, from the mini dachshund weighing up to 11 pounds to the standard dachshund weighing up to 32 pounds. For being so small, they have a remarkably large vocal range with a bark that can range from a high-pitched yip to a deep, throaty bark.
The Dachshund coat is usually short, tight and glossy in appearance. They possess a trademark fur pattern that is unique to this beloved breed. The various markings range from a solid colour to a mottled, brindled, dapple or piebald pattern. The undercoat is soft and thick, with a longer and straighter topcoat. The coats of a Dachshund can be straight, wavy or slightly curly, although usually every puppy has a unique fur pattern.
Yes, Dachshunds do have some special dietary needs that should be taken into account when feeding them. Their long bodies and short legs mean they need a diet that is rich in high-quality proteins and essential fatty acids to help maintain strong muscles, and they need a balance of minerals and vitamins to help keep their immune system healthy. Additionally, they have a sensitivity to some grains and preservatives, so it is best to limit their intake of these to prevent gastrointestinal distress.
Before buying a Dachshund, it is important to make sure you have all the necessary supplies on hand. You should consider getting a quality bed that is large enough for your pup to sleep in comfortably, such as a pillow bed or a doggie bed. You will also need to pick up a couple of sturdy toys so your pup has something to chew on and play with. Additionally, purchasing a leash, a collar and an identification tag is essential, as having these on your Dachshund will help keep them safe.
Dachshunds, or 'sausage dogs', can come in three different sizes 'standard', 'miniature', and 'kaninchen' (or 'rabbit'). Standard Dachshunds are usually between 8-11 inches tall at the shoulder, weighing anywhere between 16-32 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds typically measure 5-6 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh up to 11 pounds.
In general, Dachshunds should get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. This could include activities such as moderate walking, outdoor play, and interactive games. It's important to adjust the amount of exercise according to the individual Dachshund's age, breed, and physical capabilities. You'll want to break their daily exercise into several small sessions to avoid straining their legs. You may find that 20 minutes of walking twice a day is just the right amount of exercise for your pet. If you notice that they are struggling, you may need to reduce the minutes per day.
Dachshunds can make great family dogs. Known for their loyalty and affection, these clever and playful pups are devoted to their owners and can get along well with other animals and children. While their long bodies and short legs may not be ideal for rigorous play, they are quite energetic and can make great running or walking companions. They also adore affection and make wonderful lap dogs, which is great if your family doesn't have a large yard to play in. Their intelligence and trainability contribute to their popularity as family pets.
Training your Dachshund requires consistency, patience, and lots of positive reinforcement. Start off by teaching basic commands like "sit," "stay," and "come." Begin with short training sessions and increase the length and difficulty as your pup gets better at understanding the commands. Repetition is key, so reward and reinforce your pup's successes and talk to them regularly throughout the training session. Be sure to provide lots of loving praise for success, and keep a lighthearted attitude – this will help your Dachshund stay motivated and stay interested.
