Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are lively, energetic, and loyal companions who make wonderful pets for the right caregiver. They are known for their intelligence and have a persevering, determined personality that some describe as stubborn. Dachshunds are vocal and active dogs that require routine exercise to stay happy and healthy. It's important to provide their minds as well as their bodies with healthy stimulation. While they thrive with human interaction, they need to be trained to ensure a harmonious relationship with their owner.
Dachshunds are not considered a low-shedding breed. Although their coats may appear dense and sleek, they tend to shed a moderate to high amount of hair. To reduce excessive shedding, it's important to provide regular grooming. This includes brushing your Dachshund at least once a week and, if possible, giving them periodic professional grooming. Additionally, good nutrition and sufficient exercise will ensure their hair stays healthy and strong, lightening shed levels. You can also use dog deshedding tools and bathing tools to help keep the loose hair under control!
Dachshunds have specific dietary needs that vary depending on their age, activity level, and overall health. Therefore, it's important to consult with your veterinarian for advice on the best dog food for your particular pup. Generally, however, Dachshunds should be given foods that are high in fiber and low in fat, as their shorter stature makes them prone to weight gain. Also important is making sure the food is nutritionally balanced, as Dachshunds can be prone to certain illnesses and diseases that can be avoided or managed through proper diet.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund should include creating a safe, comfortable environment. Consider puppy-proofing your space to ensure that any potential hazards are removed or made inaccessible. Gather essential items for your pup such as a collar, leash, food and water dishes, potty training supplies, toys, treats, and a comfortable bed and crate, making sure all items are easily accessible. Evaluation of any existing house plants or open spaces to determine possible escape routes or risk of injury.
Dachshunds come in two official sizes recognized by the American Kennel Club: standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds are usually 16-32 pounds, while miniature Dachshunds are about 11 pounds or less. Generally, the most common size for Dachshunds is small to medium, ranging from 11-16 pounds. Some breeders also sell 'tweeny' Dachshunds, which are a kind of in-between size, usually weighing between 9-11 pounds.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can enjoy swimming just like any other breed of dog. Most owners report that their pup takes to swimming readily and loves it. However, it's important to make sure that the depth and temperate of the water are appropriate for your pup's size, age, and swimming ability, as most Dachshunds have shorter legs and a longer body than other breeds so they may tire quickly.
