Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dog that belongs to the hound group. They are long-bodied and low-legged, with a famously devoted and brave personality. Dachshunds can be found in a variety of different sizes, from standard size to miniature and toy, and come in a vast array of colors and patterns. They have short or long hair, smooth or wiry coats, and have been bred to specialize in a variety of tasks.
Dachshunds are not known as non-shedding breeds, as they generally have short to medium length double-coats that tend toward moderate to high levels of seasonal shedding. Regular brushing will minimize the loose hair in your home, but it will not completely eliminate it. However, some Dachshunds have longer coats and others may produce less shed hair than what is typical for the breed. It is also important to note that the frequency and amount of shedding can vary greatly depending on stress levels, health factors, and diet.
Dachshunds should not be fed chocolate, grapes, avocados, onions, garlic, alcoholic beverages, dough, or any type of processed, sugary, or salty snack. It's best to stick to high-quality dry dog food that's formulated specifically for their breed. Additionally, they should never be overfed as this could create health issues. Sweet treats such as pastries or candy can also cause more harm than good to their digestive health.
To get ready for your new Dachshund, start by researching the breed so that you have a grasp on the characteristics and potential challenges of owning a Dachshund. Next, buy some necessary supplies such as a collar, leash, food, and water dishes. After you have the basics, it's important to also begin thinking about how you plan to train and exercise your pup. Obedience classes are great ways to learn the appropriate way to train and exercise your dog.
Dachshunds are small dogs, but they certainly have a big attitude. Generally speaking, they are considered to be a small breed. However, their size can vary depending on which type of Dachshund you have; standard, miniature or even a combination of both. A standard Dachshund can weigh up to 32 pounds and be up to 16 inches tall, while a miniature Dachshund can weigh up to 11 pounds and be up to 11 inches tall.
Dachshunds should have at least an hour of exercise daily, divided into plenty of short walks, playtime and fetching sessions. While this can vary depending on individual dogs and their health conditions, it’s important to make sure that their exercise is not too strenuous or long as they are prone to back problems. An active Dachshund should also be provided with the opportunity for mental stimulation, such as puzzles, interactive toys or chasing bubbles.
Dachshunds are known to be friendly and loyal dogs, and they make great companions when it comes to being around children. While they are an active breed, they can also be very affectionate and calm when they need to be. With proper socialization, Dachshunds can learn how to properly interact with kids and usually form a strong bond with them, as they tend to crave attention. Additionally, due to their small size, they do not require as much exercise or space as larger dog breeds, making them a great fit for families who live in apartments or smaller homes.
The amount of training time needed per day to effectively train a Dachshund will depend on various factors, such as the dog's age, temperament, and individual learning capacity. Generally speaking, however, it is recommended to allocate 10-15 minutes each day, over multiple sessions throughout the day. Having multiple, shorter training sessions allows the Dachshund to remain focused each session and can prevent boredom. Additionally, positive reinforcement training, which is often recommended for Dachshunds, can produce faster and more reliable results if kept as short and interesting as possible.
