Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of canine with a distinct, "hot dog" shape. They have short, stubby legs and elongated bodies that make them ideal for burrowing underneath things from porcupines to sofa cushions! Their amusingly long body and short legs also make them perfect for chasing down rabbits and other small game. Not only are they recognized for their appearance and hunting traits, many Dachshunds have an independent streak when it comes to their training and behavior.
Dachshunds are not considered to be non-shedding, as they do shed some fur. While some dogs do not shed very much, Dachshunds usually have a moderate shedding rate meaning that their fur will be more noticeable on furniture or clothes. To manage shedding, it is important to maintain the health of your Dachshund's fur by brushing them regularly and scheduling routine visits to the groomer.
Dachshunds are a special breed with unique nutritional needs. To keep your pet healthy and happy, it's important to feed their diet according to their age, weight, activity level, and any particular food allergies or sensitivities. For adult Dachshunds, balanced dog food with top-quality proteins and fats is essential. Many vets recommend a high-fiber food to help support healthy digestion and to keep their unique body shape fit and muscular. Look for natural, wholesome ingredients made without any fillers or preservatives.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to purchase high-quality dog food, a collar or harness, a leash, a bed, an appropriate size crate, toys to keep them entertained, puppy shampoo, a brush for grooming, poop bags and a nail clipper. You should also consider enrolling your Dachshund in obedience training, so that you can foster a positive relationship with them and also to ensure that they are living safely and happily in your home.
Dachshunds, commonly referred to as a "wiener dog" due to their small cylindrical shape, are classified as small. Although their elongated shape gives them a unique look, they typically fall into the same size categories as other common small breeds such as Corgis, French Bulldogs, and Chihuahuas. Depending on the breed type, dachshunds usually weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and grow to be between 8 and 9 inches tall. This places them squarely within the category of small dogs.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running! However, since Dachshunds are breed with short legs and long backs, you'll want to make sure that your running terrain is conducive for their type of body. It's important to avoid running on rough or uneven terrain. Stick to surfaces like grass, dirt, asphalt, or pavements for your runs. You should also avoid hot or humid climates for your runs as your Dachshund can easily overheat due to their long backs.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are an ideal family pet. Not only are they loyal and adorable, but they are also smart, playful and loving companions. Even though they are small in stature, they bond deeply with their families and enjoy participating in activities with them. They make wonderful walking, hiking and camping companions too. With proper care and training, Dachshunds can be well-mannered family members that are naturally curious and enjoy learning new tricks. They can also be protective guardians, making them perfect for smaller homes or apartment living.
Dachshunds are an intelligent breed of dog which excel in obedience and agility training. In general, these dogs are highly trainable and easy to pick up on instructions. They have a tenacious personality and can often flare up if not well socialized with other animals and people. Early and consistent socialization is key for them to become well rounded and properly mannered. Although Dachshunds can be particularly stubborn and crate-train poorly, they are by no means stupid. In fact, when given the right instruction and routine during training, they can offer up impressive results.
