Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are intelligent, friendly, and loyal companions with a big personality. They are excellent family pets, but may need patience and training for them to get along with other animals and children. They are alert watchdogs and are very good with humans. They are playful and love to explore, but need regular, daily exercise to prevent them from becoming overweight or lazy. In order to keep their energy levels balanced, they need to exercise for at least an hour daily, including running, playing fetch, and going for a walk.
Dachshunds have a unique and distinctive coat that tends to be short, smooth, and sleek. It can be a single color, a blend of colors, or a patterned coat. Though their coats are typically quite short, their luxurious double coats require regular grooming and brushing to keep smooth. The fur on their head, muzzle, and hindquarters tends to be longer and have more of a feathery feel. Their short, dense fur can help keep them warm in colder months, and brushing helps keep it clean and looking beautiful.
It really depends on the individual Dachshund and their specific dietary needs. Generally speaking, a high-quality, low-fat dry food is the best option. Avoid fillers like wheat, corn and soy, and look for formulas specifically designed to meet your Dachshund's size and activity level. An adult should typically be fed once a day while puppies may require two to three smaller meals each day. If your Dachshund has any sensitivities or allergies, consider foods made from alternative proteins like fish, bison or duck.
Yes, Dachshunds have a few special requirements that should be taken into consideration by any potential owner. First, they are an active breed and need plenty of daily exercise, preferably in a safe, enclosed area. They also have a tendency towards burrowing and digging, so their environment should be carefully monitored to prevent these behaviors. As puppies, they should always be supervised around stairs and sharp furniture as they are surprisingly agile and can end up in dangerous situations.
Dachshunds typically range in size from 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder, with weights ranging from 16 to 32 pounds. They can come in a variety of coat types, including short-haired, wire-haired, and long-haired. The smaller sizes of Dachshunds, known as miniature Dachshunds, are shorter and less heavy than full-sized variety and usually weigh between 11 and 16 pounds. All Dachshunds are known for their short, stubby legs and long bodies.
Dachshunds may or may not enjoy swimming as it depends on the individual dog. Many Dachshunds may not be initially comfortable in the water, but with patience, encouragement, and possibly some assistance in the form of a life jacket, some may ultimately come to enjoy it. Owners should, however, always be vigilant when a Dachshund is in the water and take extra care as they can be susceptible to water hazards due to their long body and short legs.
Dachshunds can make terrific family dogs, providing their unique temperaments are matched to the right environment. They're loyal, usually affectionate, and very intelligent. They can be quite active and curious, making them suitable for playing with kids and teaching them basic obedience commands. As they get older, they can become quite attached to their family, although they may be more independent than other breeds. They do have a tendency towards obesity, so it's important to keep them on a strict exercise schedule and healthy diet.
Training a Dachshund can be both simple and complex, depending on the individual pup. Some might find that their Dachshund is eager to learn and picks up on commands quickly, while others may find that their pup is more stubborn and needs more time and patience. Regardless of their attitude, it's important to be consistent with their training and reward them with positive reinforcement which can greatly assist in the process. Dachshunds are in the hound group and typically have a strong hunting instinct, so their methods of training should include lots of exercise and mental stimulation.
