Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique and beloved breed of dog that have a long and interesting history. They were originally developed in Germany hundreds of years ago, specifically to hunt down small to medium-sized game such as badgers, rabbits, and foxes. But due to their charismatic personalities, good looks, and love of affection, they make great family pets today.
Dachshunds have short coats that are usually smooth and glossy. The coat on a Dachshund is typically single-layer, although some can have a more traditional double-coat. Coat colors generally range from reddish-brown, black, sable, black and tan, piebald, wild boar, and cream with different patterns. Their coats are dense and thick enough to keep the pup warm while also adjustable to their environment and climate. Dachshunds are above all else very low-maintenance, requiring occasional baths, regular brushing and occasional trimming.
Dachshunds need a balanced diet that is specific to their breed size and age. It’s important to feed them the best quality food you can afford, which should be specifically designed for small-breed dogs; otherwise, their digestive and energy needs might not be met. Look for a specially designed food such as Hill's Science Diet Small & Toy Breed dry food. You may also consider adding wet food to your pup's diet for additional variety and nutrition. Be sure to avoid overfeeding your pup, which can lead to problems like obesity and digestive issues.
Before you bring home a new Dachshund, you should make sure you have the essentials! Start by providing a safe, comfortable space for them in your home. This may include purchasing a crate with a cozy bed, placing baby gates to keep them out of off-limit areas, and properly introducing them to other people and pets. Additionally, you will want to get food and treats for them, as well as grooming supplies like shampoo, nail clippers, and a brush. Don't forget older puppies may also need housebreaking supplies, such as wee-wee pads.
