Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a loyal, intelligent, and infinitely lovable breed of dog. They have been around since the late 1600s, originating in Germany where they were used primarily for hunting badgers. Though their size may suggest that they are great lap dogs, their powerful personalities make them surprisingly independent and sometimes hard to train. Given the right amount of patience, discipline, and consistent rewards, however, you can have an exceptionally loyal companion. Dachshunds should receive plenty of exercise, as they may become overweight and/or stressed if not walked daily.
Dachshunds are not non-shedding dogs, and they do shed frequently. For owners who have to deal with shedding hair, there are a few steps that can be taken to keep it to a minimum. Brushing their coats regularly can help reduce the amount of shedding hair, as well as using shampoo designed specifically for coats like that of a dachshund. For even more control, a deshedding tool can be used to go deeper into the coat and remove excess hair.
Dachshunds usually eat kibble or dry dog food specifically formulated for their size and need. It is important to monitor the ingredients of the food you choose, as certain types of fat and protein are important for a Dachshund's diet. Additionally, many dog owners opt to provide their Dachshunds with an occasional "treat" of fresh human foods such as carrots or cooked lean meats. However, you should always check with your veterinarian on which humans foods are acceptable to feed your Dachshund, as not all human foods are good for them.
Yes Dachshunds have specific needs that must be addressed in order to ensure their health and happiness. Like all dogs, Dachshunds require proper daily exercise and nutrition, as well as regular visits with a veterinarian for preventative care and vaccinations. Additionally, due to their long, slender builds, Dachshunds can be quite active and may require regular training to help curb negative behaviors.
The size of your Dachshund puppy can vary significantly depending on its lineage. Generally speaking, the average adult Dachshund will grow to be between 9 to 11 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh about 16 to 32 pounds. However, purebred Dachshunds come in three sizes: Standard, Miniature, and Kaninchen (Rabbit). Standard Dachshunds are 16 to 32 pounds while Miniatures are 11 pounds and under, and Rabbit Dachshunds are 4 to 5 pounds.
Dachshunds are active little dogs, so they should get plenty of exercise to stay healthy. Generally speaking, they should get between 30 minutes to an hour of activity per day, although this is based on individual energy levels. If you have a fenced-in area for your dog to explore, a leisurely walk could suffice; otherwise, look into activities like running, jogging, and agility exercises, which will give your Dachshund more of a challenge while helping with weight control, muscle, and joint engagement, and attitude.
Dachshunds are known for their loyalty and can usually get along great with other pets if given the opportunity. They are typically friendly and social, and with proper socialization, they can learn to appropriately interact with other animals. However, every unique Dachshund has a different personality, so it is important to be aware of their individual interactions and needs. Supervised playdates or introductions with the other pets in the home are suggested to ensure safety and provide positive experiences for all.
The amount of training minutes required per day to train a Dachshund will vary depending on the individual dog and its level of training. Generally speaking, a Dachshund should receive at least 30 minutes of training a day. However, to create a well-trained Dachshund, trainers generally advise to give up to one hour per day of dedicated training, with the purpose of reinforcing good behaviors and addressing any problem behaviors. Additionally, Dachshunds should receive regular exercise, such as a walk, in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle and provide mental stimulation.
