Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small hound breed of dog that originates from Germany. They have a long body and short legs which makes them well-suited for digging and burrowing into tight places great for pushing through thick brush and hunting badgers. They also have long ears and an alert facial expression. Typically, a Dachshund will measure between 6 and 9 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh between 15 and 32 pounds depending on the type used in breeding.
Dachshunds actually do shed, but because their coats are short, the amount of hair they shed is usually less than breeds that have longer coats. To minimize shedding, it is recommended to brush your Dachshund with a brush made specifically for them at least once a week. During the shedding season, which typically occurs twice a year in the Spring and Fall, brushing should be done 2-3 times a week. Providing them with omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish oil, or Biotin may also help with the shedding and promote a healthy coat.
Yes, Dachshunds definitely have special dietary needs. As longi-bodied dogs with short legs, they need a balanced and nutritious diet to keep them healthy and in shape. Dachshunds have a slower metabolism, so they need fewer calories but need a diet that is high in quality proteins and carbohydrates to provide them with the energy they need. In addition, because of their tendency to become overweight, carbohydrates in their diet should be complex carbohydrates, such as grains or vegatables, instead of simple sugars. A high-fiber diet is also important to aid digestion.
To ensure your new Dachshund is as comfortable as possible when it comes to joining your home, there are a few steps you should take to prepare. First, make sure there are no dangerous items on the floor that your pup could ingest or injure themselves on. Be sure to child-proof any cabinets or cupboards that may be accessible. Then, you should also establish some designated areas for your pup’s food and water bowls, along with their bed, blanket, and toys.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: regular or standard size which is 16-32 lbs, and miniature size which weighs up to 11 lbs. Within these sizes, there are three variations in coat length: smooth, wire-haired, and long-haired coats. When it comes to their length, standard size Dachshunds measure 8-9 inches from the ground to their shoulder and 18-32 inches from the nose to the tip of the tail.
Generally speaking, it is recommended that Dachshunds receive at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise each day. This should include both cardio and muscle-strengthening activities like walking and playing fetch. Doing more is also beneficial; for example, you could divide the total exercise into shorter bursts of 15 minutes each to help incorporate it into your daily routine. Whatever activity you choose, make sure to adjust the intensity and speed of your walking or playing to the age and health of your Dachshund.
Dachshunds make great family pets as they can be very loving around children. They may be small, but are incredibly brave and protective, so they can often act as a child's guardian. Additionally, Dachshunds are intelligent and can be trained to adjust their energy level when around children. With the right amount of socialization, training, and exercise, Dachshunds have the potential to become a fantastic family companion. Dachshunds are very loyal, so they will always be energetic and loving around kids, while also respecting personal boundaries.
Training a Dachshund can be a rewarding experience, provided that you approach it with the right attitude and tailor your approach to your pup’s individual needs. With patience and consistency, you can teach your pup basic commands. But Dachshunds are also intelligent, independent thinkers that will require an effective training strategy of positive reinforcement and reward-based training. Be prepared to adjust your approach and recognize the need to reinforce good behavior, since this breed is known to be a little stubborn. With clear and gentle guidance, you can help your pup become a great canine companion.
