Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are members of the hound group of dogs. They are typically long and low to the ground, recognizably distinguished by their short, stubby legs. In addition to their short legs, Dachshunds have long heads, medium-sized, erect ears, and an alert expression.
While Dachshunds are considered to be non-shedding dogs, they do lose hair as part of the normal shedding process. However, the amount of hair Dachshunds shed is minimal compared to other breeds. Dachshunds also naturally produce less dander, which is the primary trigger for allergies among pet owners, making them excellent choices for people who suffer from allergies. Additionally, regular grooming and brushing can keep the shedding to an even lesser amount.
Dachshunds' dietary needs vary by age, size, and activity level. While puppies need more calories and certain minerals, adult dogs typically require fewer calories and a higher quality of food. As active breeds, Dachshunds also need good sources of protein and fat in their diets. To keep your Dachshund in optimal health, it's important to feed them the right food. Discuss with your veterinarian which type and brand of food would be best for your dog.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special requirements that are important for their health and well-being. They need regular activity such as walks and play time, a balanced diet with healthy chews and treats, annual vet check-ups, and frequent grooming and brushing. They can also benefit from having access to a secure, warm, and comfortable place to rest and play. Because of their long bodies and short legs, they are more prone to back problems and should be prevented from jumping and running up and down steps or furniture.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will vary depending on the specific breed of Dachshund. Generally, the standard Dachshund stands between 8-9 inches at the shoulder and weighs roughly 16 pounds. The miniature Dachshund stands between 5-6 inches at the shoulder and weighs an average of 11 pounds, while the "tweenie" variety stands between 6-7 inches at the shoulder and weighs around 14 pounds.
Yes, Dachshunds can enjoy swimming! Although they may take some time to get used to the water, with some positive reinforcement and patience, they can learn to enjoy it. Dachshunds are actually quite good swimmers thanks to their strong, muscular legs and their long bodies, which can provide them with a powerful effortless and efficient propelling through the water. As an added bonus, swimming can provide the dog with a great source of exercise that can help promote better heart health and overall physical strength.
Dachshunds can get along great with other pets if socialization has been properly introduced, as they are social dogs that crave interaction. Generally, they adjust well to other dogs, cats, and even smaller animals such as hamsters, if they are raised around them from an early age. Being patient and providing positive reinforcement during the introduction process is key to having a successful and harmonious multi-pet household.
Training a Dachshund can be both a rewarding and a challenging experience. As with any dog, consistency and patience are key when it comes to training.
