Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a class of short-legged, long-bodied dogs, which are frequently referred to as 'sausage dogs'. They belong to the hound family, as they were bred historically for their strong sense of smell. Depending on the breed, they come in a variety of colors and fur lengths, and they average around 10 to 12 pounds in weight. They are known for being friendly, devoted, and having plenty of energy, making them great family pets. As they are active breeds, they need regular exercise and mental stimulation.
Dachshunds are a type of dog known for their short legs and long body, and they are also known for their low-shedding coats. While they cannot be considered to be totally non-shedding, Dachshunds do produce less dander and fur than other dog breeds. They are also easy to groom and require regular brushing to help keep their coats healthy and reduce shedding. As with any breed, regular grooming is key to controlling the amount of shedding.
Dachshunds are often thought to be voracious eaters, but they actually need a careful and balanced diet to keep them healthy. A good quality, commercially-available dry, moist, or canned dog food should be recommended by a veterinarian, based on the size and age of the individual dog. Besides a complete and balanced premix, fresh foods such as cooked grains, vegetables, fruits, lean meats, and an occasional egg can be added as well. Feedings twice a day in small amounts are recommended, while treats should be given in moderation.
Prior to bringing your new Dachshund home, there are some preparations to make in order to make the transition an enjoyable and safe one. First, research and become familiar with the grooming, feeding and exercise requirements for Dachshunds. Make sure you have all the necessary equipment for caring for your new pup, such as a collar, leash, bed, and toys. Next, establish a routine for your pet, including potty-training, training for basic commands and, if possible, socializing with other animals.
Dachshunds are considered a small breed of dog, but the size can vary depending on their type. The standard Dachshunds, commonly referred to as the 'wiener dog', typically grow to around 16 inches in length and weigh between 16-32 lbs. The mini Dachshunds have a more petite frame and typically weigh in between 11-16 lbs and grow to about 11-13 inches in length.
Absolutely! Dachshunds have surprisingly good endurance and are great for jogging and running. However, be sure to know your dog's exercise limits to prevent over-exertion and muscle strain as rapid movement can cause harm to their backs. Start slowly and gradually work up to longer distances as your Dachshund builds up its stamina. It is typically best to run on solid, flat surfaces, or trails with soft roots, dirt, or grass avoid running in the street and on the beach.
Dachshunds can be great companions for children, provided they have been properly trained and socialized. Generally speaking, these small, energetic dogs have even temperaments and an affectionate, playful nature that makes them great family pets. They tend to form close bonds with their families and they love attention, making them a great choice for an interactive playmate. However, as with all dogs, it is important to ensure that the children know how to interact with the dog safely and that they are always supervised when interacting with the animal.
Training your Dachshund is an important part of responsible dog ownership. When training your Dachshund, it's important to use positive reinforcement such as offering treats and praise when your pup successfully completes a task. To ensure consistent obedience, try to practice commands in multiple locations and scenarios to ensure he remembers them. Be patient and don't forget to reward good behavior. Start by teaching basic commands such as sit, stay, come, and down. During the training process, keep the lessons short, but consistent. Be sure to thoroughly review the commands before progressing to any more difficult tasks.
