Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are commonly classified as a type of hound dog due to their short legs and long, narrow body allowing them to hunt badgers and other small critters. They are intelligent, determined, and courageous, making them perfect for tracking and hunting. Their various coat types (long-haired, short-haired, and wire-haired) and their friendly dispositions also make them a popular choice for a family pet. Dachshunds come in a variety of colors, sizes, and temperaments, and can weigh up to 32 pounds.
Dachshunds have a short, dense coat that is available in different colors such as black and tan, red, cream, chocolate and wild boar. Their coats consist of two layers that protect against rain and chill while providing insulation. The outer layer of fur is wiry, thick, and water-resistant while the second layer is a soft undercoat. The coat is short on the head, chest, legs, and tummy and is somewhat longer on the tail and back.
Yes, Dachshunds can have special dietary needs due to their body length and size. As a small breed, they cannot process certain proteins, fat and carbohydrates as efficiently as larger breeds. Therefore it is important to feed them a diet that is specific for their size. Dachshunds should be fed high-quality food with a balanced ratio of proteins, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. Foods that are too high in protein or fat can cause an increase in body weight and lead to health issues such as musculoskeletal problems and other obesity-related issues.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to have everything you need to keep your pet happy and healthy. This includes purchasing a quality Dog Crate in which your pet can sleep and rest, a sturdy Dog Leash and Collar, Dog Toys such as chew toys and balls, a Dry Food Bowl and Water Bowl that your Dachshund will be able to use, and a special Dog Bed for your pet to lay on.
The size of a Dachshund puppy will depend on its parentage. Generally speaking, standard Dachshunds can reach adult heights of 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds can be smaller in size and reach adult heights between 5 and 6 inches at the shoulder, while weighing between 11 and 17 pounds. The size of your puppy won't be determined until its adult size has been finalized at maturity. It is important to feed and provide exercise to your puppy to ensure they reach their full potential.
Generally speaking, taking a Dachshund running is not advisable because they are not built for long distance running, and they tire easily. Depending on the age, size, and weight of your Dachshund, running could do more harm than good. Long-distance running with a Dachshund may put too much strain on their already short legs. Additionally, because of their short snouts, Dachshunds may have difficulty breathing during an extended running session.
Dachshunds can be good for first-time owners, depending on the individual dog. They are generally tolerant, loyal and playful, and because of their small size, may be easier to manage for inexperienced owners. Of course, all dogs require exercise, training and consistent rules in order to develop good habits, so any potential owner should be sure to research how much time needs to be invested in these areas. Additionally, Dachshunds are known for their stubbornness, so it is important to be firm and consistent with training.
The amount of time you need to spend training a Dachshund can vary greatly depending on the individual dog. Generally, a minimum of 10 minutes of training per day is recommended in order to create a well-behaved, obedient dog. However, if you aim to achieve a top-level of performance in obedience and agility competitions, at least 30 minutes per day is ideal. With the additional training, you can expect to see results in just a few weeks. Additionally, remember to have fun while you're training.
