Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a loyal and playful breed of dog traditionally classified as a hound dog. Traditionally, they are members of the Hound Group, a category which also includes breeds such as Greyhound, beagle, and bloodhounds. Dachshunds are usually obedient and eager to please, coming in a variety of sizes, coats, and colors. Dachshunds are best known for having a long body and short legs. This odd shape allows them to dig and crawl through tight spaces.
The coat of a Dachshund is unique and varies depending on what type of Dachshund you're looking at. Short-haired Dachshunds have a single-layer coat that can range from a sleek and shiny to a dull, harsh texture. Long-haired Dachshunds have a thick, double-coat that is made up of a dense undercoat and a smooth outer coat. They also require more groom care as their long hair can knot and tangle easily.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs that owners should be aware of. They have a smaller digestive tract than larger breeds, which means they can't eat just any type of food. Dachshunds don't do well on large amounts of carbohydrates since they may become overweight. Many owners find that special diest that are tailored for small breeds, or smaller pieces of kibble, work best for a Dachshund. Avoiding table scraps and human foods is also recommended.
Before bringing home your new Dachshund, it is important to prepare your home. Dachshunds are small, but love to explore their environment. Make sure any small spaces, cabinets, or areas that they can easily get into, are blocked. Gather supplies such as a food-friendly bowl, a comfortable bed, a leash, collar, and tags with your phone number on them. Research what type of food is best for Dachshunds and if you plan on training your dog, find some quality literature or visit specialized websites.
Generally, yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. As a breed, they typically weigh in at 16-32 pounds and measure 8-9 inches in height at the shoulder. These medium-length, compactly-built dogs are known for being athletic and highly-energetic yet also great for cuddling up with their owners. Dachshunds often live a very long life span of up to 16 years which makes them an ideal long-term companion. Their small size also means they can often live comfortably in apartments and other small living spaces.
Yes, it is possible to take your Dachshund running. However, because of their small size and relatively delicate constitution, it is important to keep a few things in mind. The surface could be a potential problem, if it is too hard, such as asphalt, difference in temperature, or rough terrain. Also, when running with a Dachshund, it is best to wear a special harness or to use a stroller in order to protect their back and avoid possible health issues.
Dachshunds are an incredibly loyal and loving breed of dog, making them a great addition to any family. Not only are Dachshunds sympathetic and understanding, but they also have a sense of humor, which can bring a lot of lighthearted fun to the family. It's true that dachshunds require patience and attention, as do all intelligent breeds, but they're like most dogs in that they quickly learn to distinguish good behavior from bad.
Dachshunds are often considered a "smart" breed of dog due to their eagerness to learn and loyal personality. While not all dogs of this breed have the same gifted intellect, they do generally have an exceptional braveness, inquisitiveness and determination. Dachshunds are strong-willed dogs that are known to be highly trainable, particularly when encouraged with positive reinforcement and consistent instructions. They can learn commands quickly and enjoy active play, making them an ideal companion for an active lifestyle.
