Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small, loyal dogs, originally bred to hunt small vermin. They have a long-bodied shape with short legs, two pointy ears, and a bushy tail. Though they usually weigh less than 25 pounds, these playful little dogs have a big personality. They can be prone to barking so early training and socialization are important for a well-behaved pup. As for their diet, they generally eat canned food or dry kibble and should also be given plenty of exercise.
Dachshunds have a unique coat due to their varied ancestry. It is a short, double-layered coat with a more course and wiry outer guard hairs. Its color ranges from red to black-and-tan, and sometimes blond and badger-colored. The coat does not shed easily and needs occasional grooming and clipping. It also needs a regular bath to maintain its clean and soft texture. Dachshunds love to dig and burrows and, as a result, their coat may seem a bit disheveled.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs. As a deep-chested, long-bodied breed, these dogs are particularly prone to developing a potentially life-threatening condition called gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV). To help prevent this, it is important to portion meals into two or three smaller meals throughout the day and opt for high-quality, nutrient-rich food. Slow feeders can also be beneficial. Dachshunds are also sensitive to certain proteins, so diet should be tailored accordingly.
Dachshunds do have some special requirements due to their unique size and body type. Being a short-legged breed, they can be prone to back issues, so keeping their bodies in shape to maintain their spine health is critical. Regular exercise and playtime are important to keep their bodies healthy, as well as ensure that they stay at an optimal weight. As a smaller breed, their bones can be fragile and susceptible to injuries; socializing them early on to other pets, people, and different environments can help keep them safe in the future.
Dachshunds typically come in two sizes: standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds can reach up to 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh anywhere from 16-32 lbs. On the other hand, miniature Dachshunds typically stand up to 5-6 inches tall and weigh a maximum of 11 lbs. Both typically measure 8-9 inches from their shoulders to their rump. While their size may be relatively small, Dachshunds are known to have a big personality.
Dachshunds can indeed enjoy a dip in the pool or pond, but it's important to remember that their body shape and size makes them more sensitive to the water and the cold than other larger breeds. When properly acclimated, they can be just as much of a water baby as any other canine. Owners should always be careful when taking their Dachshund swimming, starting slow and gradually increasing the exposure. Not only should a safety vest be used for stronger swimmers, but pool temperature should be monitored as well.
Dachshunds can make excellent companions for first-time owners. As their breed is quite small, they don't require as much space or exercise as larger breeds, which makes them a good fit for most households. They are also very social and loving animals that can quickly become an integral part of the family. However, they can be quite stubborn and may benefit from professional training to ensure they know and follow basic commands. Even with training, some of their feisty nature is sure to remain and can make them a great addition to any household.
The amount of time that is needed to train a Dachshund will depend on the dog and his or her individual needs. Ideally, a Dachshund should have about 30 minutes of structured training and playtime each day in order to help them learn and retain information. This time should be relatively consistent so that the dog can develop habits and familiarity with any commands or behaviors you want them to learn. As the Dachshund progresses in their training, you may need to increase the amount of time devoted to training so that they can learn even more complex behaviors.
