Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a relatively small-bodied, short-legged breed that belongs to the hound group. They are one of the most popular breeds, and they have a unique look and a sweet, friendly disposition. Dachshunds come in three coat varieties: smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired. They can also come in three sizes: standard, miniature, and kaninchen (rabbit-sized). They have unique personalities and energy levels, so they can be suitable pets for families of all kinds.
Dachshunds are considered a low-shedding breed, but they do not qualify as a hypoallergenic or non-shedding breed. That being said, their low shedding coats do make them more suitable for people with allergies compared with other breeds. Even so, due to the Dachshund's dense double coat, they will still shed occasionally, though not as much as breeds that have longer coats. Regular grooming should be done, and a Dachshund should never be shaved, as this could do more harm than good.
Dachshunds are known for their hearty appetite and love for food. A well balanced diet is important to ensure your pup is getting the nutrition they need. Dachshunds typically enjoy dry kibble, designed specifically for their size, that is high in protein with fewer fillers and no artificial flavors or colors. Along with consuming kibble, they are also able to enjoy cooked lean meats such as chicken, as well as cooked vegetables. Giving your pup a few treats throughout the day is also acceptable as long as it’s in moderation.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires a willing commitment to loving and caring for your pup. Taking the time to learn about the breed, using positive reinforcement techniques, providing a balanced diet, and implementing a routine are essential to success. As your puppy grows, it is important to keep up with regular vet visits, engage in interactive playtime, and make sure your pet gets ample exercise. Be sure to provide plenty of emotional support and mental stimulation, such as interesting toys, chewables, and verbal encouragement.
While it is possible to provide a rough estimate of the mature size of a Dachshund puppy, it is important to remember that both their sex and individual genetics will determine their final size. Generally, a Dachshund puppy will weigh between 8-10 pounds when full grown. Male Dachshunds tend to weigh between 12-16 pounds, while females will usually weigh a little less at 13-15 pounds. Depending on the variety of Dachshund, they also reach different heights between 5-9 inches.
Dachshunds require a moderate amount of exercise, usually equating to about 30 minutes of activity per day. This can be a combination of physical and mental stimulation, such as exercise, obedience training, games, or activities. It is recommended that Dachshunds have an opportunity for a slow paced walk on a leash as part of their daily routine. They also benefit from having playtime in a safe, enclosed area. However, due to their stubby legs, it is important to monitor their exercise to ensure they do not over exert themselves.
Dachshunds make delightful family pets due to their affectionate and playful personalities. They overall are high spirited and loyal little dogs, which makes them an ideal companion for all members of the family. Not only are these pups athletic, but they are also intelligent which contributes to how easy it is to train them. Dachshunds usually get along well with children as well and are often very tolerant towards them. Not only are they friendly, but they are also brave and courageous which can be a great plus in a family that seeks protection.
It really depends on the individual Dachshunds and their temperament and energy levels, but it's generally recommended to give them at least 10-15 minutes of exercise and training each day. It can be a mixture of both, so some activities that provide physical exercise and mental stimulation like walks, runs, fetch, agility, and playing with interactive toys or puzzles work well. It's also important to spend time training Dachshunds on basic commands and tricks, so a few minutes each day devoted to this is recommended.
