Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a type of hound dog that are bred to be persistent in their hunting pursuits. They are affectionate and loyal to their owners, but they can also be headstrong and independent. As a small breed, they're known for their droopy snouts and wiry coats that come in a variety of colors. They usually weigh around 16 to 32 pounds and can live an average life span of 12 to 16 years. Dachshunds are intelligent and require regular physical and mental stimulation, as well as regular exercise.
The coat of a dachshund can vary depending on the type. A smooth coated dachshund, also known as a short-haired dachshund, will have a smooth, short and glossy coat that is close to the body. The long-haired dachshund, which is the most common variety, has a long, thick double coat that is usually wavy or slightly curly. The wire-haired dachshund has a hard, coarse, outer coat with a soft undercoat.
Dachshunds typically have a normal carnivore diet and will need to eat a high quality dry dog food specifically formulated for their size. Depending on their age and activity level, their daily diet should contain protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, minerals, and vitamins. For optimal health, some owners like to supplement their Dachshunds' diet with wet food, fresh meats, and vegetables. It's important to avoid overfeeding and provide balanced nutrition; consult your local veterinarian for tips on nutrition and portion size.
It's a great idea to be prepared for your new Dachshund before bringing them home. First, make sure you have the necessary supplies such as food and water dishes, a collar and leash, a crate, and toys. It's also important to know the initial costs for things like vaccinations, spaying/neutering, and flea/tick treatments. Additionally, you should also dedicate a space in your home for your Dachshund, which means you should puppy proof the area and keep all small objects and valuable items safely out of reach.
Yes, Dachshunds are generally classified as small dogs. This breed is typically cute and petite, reaching heights between 8 to 9 inches and a maximum of 15 pounds in weight. Despite their size, Dachshunds have a strong prey drive and are incredibly playful and curious. While they tend to be loyal and devoted pets, these canines can be quite independent, requiring proper, consistent training and socialization to ensure they remain obedient and manageable. Moreover, they do need an ample amount of exercise as part of their daily routine.
Dachshunds can have a great time in the water if they're given the opportunity, although it's not the breed's driving instinct. Some Dachshunds really enjoy swimming and will readily take to the pool or lake given the chance. They may need a little help at first, but with some patience and positive reinforcement, many Dachshunds will learn to enjoy swimming. However, always keep water activities age appropriate for Dachshunds, as puppies can tire quickly and older dogs may struggle to keep up.
Dachshunds, in general, get along well with kids if they are properly socialized when they are young. Dachshunds, being an active breed, love to play and be the center of attention, making them perfect for kids. However, good canine social etiquette must be taught to both kids and dogs in order to maintain a healthy relationship between the two. Kids need to learn that the pup needs to feel respected. On the other hand, dogs must understand that any roughhousing is off-limits and must wear an leash when interacting with the children.
Training a Dachshund can be a big challenge as they are known to be quite stubborn and independent. That being said, it is certainly possible to successfully train your Dachshund with sufficient effort and patience. Training a Dachshund requires a lot of consistency from all members of the household as well as positive reinforcement for desired behaviors. It is also a good idea to set consistent boundaries and stick to them, rewarding good behaviors while appropriately discouraging bad behaviors.
