Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, also known as "wiener dogs," are one of the most iconic and beloved dog breeds. Along with their distinguished look, Dachshunds offer owners a great deal of charm, loyalty, and intelligence. They generally live between 12-16 years and come in three different sizes and several coat types. They have an independent personality and a good sense of humor. Dachshunds usually love to spend time with their families, and they do best when properly socialized.
Dachshunds have coats of varying lengths, depending on the type. The longhaired Dachshund typically has long, silky hair, while the smooth variety is characterized by a short, shiny coat. The wirehaired Dachshund has a close-lying, harsh coat that requires frequent brushing. The color of the coat often depends on the type, and can range from hues such as red, black, and cream to variations such as dappled and brindle.
Finding the best dog food for your Dachshund can be a little overwhelming due to the sheer number of dog food options available. However, it is important to choose a food specifically tailored to the Dachshund's needs. Dachshunds are prone to digestive issues due to their long backs, so a food packed with digestible, single-source protein is important. Also, Dachshund's don't do well on foods with high levels of sugar or carbohydrates.
Yes, Dachshunds certainly do have special requirements. For one, they need an ample amount of exercise since they are rather energetic and active, so daily walks each day are highly recommended for this breed. Additionally, due to their long backs which make them prone to spinal problems, support is important for the Dachshund. This means utilizing items such as ramps, blankets and pillows for stairs, elevators and other such activities, both indoors and especially outdoors. Lastly, it is also important to provide all necessary vaccinations and regular checkups to ensure their health and wellbeing.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small-sized dogs. This breed's overall size ranges from 8 to 9 inches in height at the shoulder and 16 to 32 pounds in weight. As a result, these dogs are usually classified as toy breeds or small-sized breeds. Because of their small bodies, Dachshunds are perfect for people with limited space, such as apartment dwellers. They are also full of personality, which makes them a great addition to any family. Whether you live in a city or a rural area, this breed will prove itself to be a loyal companion.
Dachshunds are generally known to be a playful breed, so it is possible that some of them may enjoy swimming. However, many Dachshunds would likely not be keen on taking a plunge. While their compact size lends itself to being able to maneuver well in the water, their short legs mean that these pups don't usually swim very well. Dachshunds have thick fur that can easily become waterlogged, so it can be uncomfortable for them.
Generally speaking, yes, Dachshunds can get along with other pets. However, it depends on the individual dog and the environment. Dachshunds may better relate to friendly, tough, moderate size animals like cats, small dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and birds. If properly socialized with other pets from a young age, intros happen with less stress and tend to have better long-term outcomes.
Dachshunds have been highly admired for their unfailing loyalty and charm, but they are also widely considered to be among the cleverest of canine breeds. With an active mind and an inquisitive nature, many owners find their Dachshunds to be quite clever. Commonly known as the “sausage-dog” they have surprisingly good problem-solving skills and excellent abilities to learn quickly and retain their training. They are also skilled at memorizing regular routines and demonstrating real loyalty to the family or pack.
