Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are known for being energetic, spirited, and loyal pup companions. One fun fact about them is that they originated during the 1500s in Germany and were bred to hunt badgers! As they have a natural hunting instinct, you'll find many of them enjoying activities such as scenting, tracking, and digging. Despite their short legs, they can also run quite quickly and are thought to achieve higher top-speeds than other breeds that have longer legs.
Dachshunds have short to medium-length, lightweight coats. Depending on the variation of Dachshund, they can have a smooth, long, or wirehair coat. The smooth coat is short and very shining, the long coat is slightly wavy and tends to be slightly longer, and the wirehair coat is wiry, thick, and harsh feeling. All Dachshunds possess an undercoat to protect them from extreme temperatures and their coats need minimal grooming to remain healthy and free of tangles.
Dachshunds are unique dogs with specific dietary and health needs. When choosing the best dog food for a dachshund, it is important to take into account the size, breed, activity level, and age of the dog. Generally, the best choice for dachshunds is an age-appropriate, high-quality dry kibble food that provides enough fat for energy, protein for muscle growth and repair, fiber to help with digestion, and essential vitamins and minerals to maintain overall health.
Before bringing home a Dachshund, it is essential to stock up on several key items that will help keep your pup healthy and happy. First, purchase a sturdy collar that fits comfortably yet securely. Make sure it has your pup’s neuter/spay tag, as well as license tag and rabies tag. Next, you should also buy a good quality leash designed specifically for walking a small breed dog like a Dachshund.
Dachshunds are known for their small stature, but the size of an adult Dachshund can vary by breed. Generally, the standard Dachshund will reach a size of 16 to 32 pounds and 8 to 9 inches in height, while miniature Dachshunds will weigh under 11 pounds and reach 5 to 6 inches in height.
Dachshunds are a lively and playful breed, and they need an appropriate amount of exercise to stay healthy and happy. Generally speaking, Dachshunds require around an hour of exercise per day. This can include a daily walk, a run at the park, a game of fetch, or any other activity that helps your pup get their energy out. Exercise sessions of at least 30 minutes are recommended in order to keep your Dachshund happy and fit.
Dachshunds typically get along well with other pets, provided they have been appropriately socialized. Generally speaking, Dachshunds are an independent breed but can coexist peacefully with other animals. Of course, as with any breed, each dog is an individual with its own personality, and while some may be more predisposed to friendliness with other animals, others may require additional training and guidance to better understand animals of different species. Ultimately, Dachshunds can make wonderful companions, both to other animals and their human counterparts.
Training a Dachshund includes teaching basic obedience commands, understanding their behavior and personality, and managing any unwanted behaviors. The best place to start is by setting up a consistent routine, there are many types of commands that you can teach your Dachshund. Start with basic obedience commands like 'sit', 'stay', 'come', 'down', and 'leave it'. As you advance, you can teach more complex commands like 'heel', 'spin', 'rollover', and 'back up'. Make sure to reward your pup each time they correctly execute a command.
