Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of small hounds known for their playful nature and affectionate personalities. They are low to the ground and typically have long, muscular bodies, short legs, and a long snout that makes them instantly recognizable. Dachshunds come in a variety of coat types and colors, and they are among the oldest-known breeds, with origins going back more than 300 years. They have a history of working as hunting dogs, but they are also excellent companions.
No, Dachshunds are not non-shedding. While some breeds of dogs are considered to be non-shedding, Dachshunds will inevitably shed their fur. While their coat may not come in large clumps, being a short-haired breed, Dachshunds will still lose some fur as they groom themselves or when around other animals. Fortunately, their coat is fairly easy to manage and regular brushing combined with occasional trims to keep the coat even, can help keep their shedding under control.
Dachshunds, also known as wiener dogs, are a special breed of hound-like dogs originally bred to hunt underground. As a result, they tend to enjoy high-protein wet and dry commercial foods, as well as fresh foods such as meat, vegetables, and fruit. Other acceptable treats include lean meat, cooked eggs, cheese, rice, pasta, oatmeal, and boiled potatoes. Be sure to avoid fatty meats, sweetened baked goods, and greasy snacks as these could upset your dog's stomach.
Preparing your home for your new Dachshund can be an exciting experience! It is important to create a space that is comfortable and safe for you and your furry friend. There are a few steps you can take to ensure your home is ready for your new companion. First, make sure you have all of the necessary supplies for your pet, such as food and treats, collar and leash, beds and toys. Additionally, do a thorough inspection of your home to identify potential hazards (such as exposed cords) that could be dangerous for your pet.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: the standard size and the miniature. The standard size weighs anywhere between 16 to 32 pounds and is usually about 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder. For comparison, a typical adult male stands at about 5'9". The miniature size weighs 11 pounds or less and is about 5 to 6 inches tall at the shoulder. It is important to remember that these are the standard sizes for the breed, and there may still be variations between individual dogs. Ultimately, consult your veterinarian to determine the right size for your lifestyle and household.
Dachshunds, affectionately known as "Doxies," are energetic and outgoing dogs. They need regular physical and mental stimulation to stay healthy. Generally, experts recommend daily exercise for Dachshunds, including a brisk walk, running or playing off-leash. Additionally, activities like obedience training, playing with puzzle toys, or hide-and-seek can provide excellent mental stimulation. Interactive play, such as fetch or tug of war, can also help to strengthen the bond between owners and their Doxies.
Dachshunds are generally known for their friendly nature, and in many cases, they get along well with kids. However, it's important to remember that all dogs, regardless of breed, require early socialization, training, and supervision when around children. After these basics have been established, Dachshunds can be good companions for children. They are usually patient, loyal, and easy to train. With ongoing positive reinforcement and patience, Dachshunds can learn to be great family members who make excellent playmates for kids.
Training a Dachshund requires dedication and patience, but can be done. Dachshunds are loyal companions with an independent streak, so it’s important to establish yourself as the pack leader early on. Work hard to establish the rules of the house and any expected behavior patterns to ensure a sense of normalcy. You should also use consistent, positive reinforcement during training, as negative reinforcement can cause your Dachshund to become anxious or aggressive.
