Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a classic, elongated canine breed believed to have originated in Germany many centuries ago. They are small, yet sturdy dogs that were originally bred to hunt small game such as badgers and rabbits. Their unique long body shape and short legs give them an uncanny ability to maneuver through thick brush and tunnels better than any other breed. They come in two sizes: standard and miniature, as well as three coat types: smooth, wirehaired and longhaired.
Dachshunds’ coats vary widely in texture, color, and length. Most have short, smooth coats, but some may have longer fur that is wavy or even curly. Common colors are red, black, tan, and cream, though many color variations exist. Their coats are thick and designed to protect them from cold weather since they originated in Germany where temperatures could get quite low. The coats are also designed to protect their delicate thin legs from the elements. Unlike many other breeds, their coat needs minimal maintenance and requires only a quick brushing once a week or so.
Dachshunds, like all other canine breeds, should not be fed chocolate, grapes, or any type of citrus fruit as these can be fatal to them. Rawhide, cooked bones, and food high in fat should also be avoided as they can lead to serious health problems. Additionally, dairy products or too much grain can cause digestive troubles. It is best to feed your dachshund a diet of high quality, meat-based dog food specifically formulated for small breed dogs.
Dachshunds possess their own specific needs that must be met in order to ensure their optimal health and well-being. As a breed, Dachshunds typically require more frequent brushing and combing than other dogs, due to their double coat of fur that tends to mat and tangle easily. Furthermore, Dachshunds are very active and need to be provided with plenty of daily exercise, in order to maintain a healthy weight and avoid developing any behavioral issues.
Dachshunds vary in size, sometimes being considered big and other times small depending on the individual breed. The majority of Dachshunds typically stand no taller than 10 inches, however this size can range from 8 to 22 inches and depend on their type. Generally, Dachshunds are considered as medium-size dogs, however they can fall into the large category depending on their size, weight, and type.
Dachshunds are active dogs who need regular physical and mental exercise in order to stay healthy and happy. Generally, they would benefit from at least half an hour to an hour of physical exercise every day, either in the form of walks, playtime, or an obedience class geared toward medium-sized breeds. That being said, dachshunds don't usually require a huge amount of intense activity, but with their long backs, it's important that they are always watched closely when running or jumping to prevent injury.
Dachshunds are generally friendly, loving dogs that can usually get along with other pets. While each individual dog is different and may not get along with all types of pets, most Dachshunds form positive relationships with cats, smaller dogs, and other animals when introduced and socialized properly. It is important to take the time to acclimate the Dachshund with new animals so that everyone can feel comfortable, safe, and respected. Also, it is important to make sure the Dachshund has plenty of exercise so that they can remain calm and content.
Dachshunds are indeed quite intelligent. They display a capacity for quickly learning commands, a loyalty to their owners, and a sociable nature that positively influences their intelligence. In addition, Dachshunds are able to analyze complex situations and be reactive if they sense a potential threat to their family. They are quick learners and typically more than willing to please their masters. Furthermore, activity, training, and socialization can further refine and compliment their natural intelligence. Overall, with the right environment and training, Dachshunds can become very smart and loyal companions.
