Questions & Answers
Dachshunds have a long and interesting history! They were bred in Germany over 300 years ago as a badger hunting dog, and the name "Dachshund" derives from German words for "badger" and "hound". They were even kept as prized pets by many European aristocrats. They come in three coat types long, smooth, and wire-haired and in a variety of colors. They were also one of the first breeds to compete in a conformation show, in 1879.
The Dachshund's coat is a smooth, double coat that is short to medium in length. The length and thickness of the coat depends on whether the Dachshund is a wirehaired or longhaired variety. The texture of the coat is thick and wiry for wirehaired Dachshunds and a softer, more straighter textured coat for longhairs. The coat colors are very diverse and can be black and tan, solid black, silver, chocolate, yellow, and cream, and come in a variety of shades.
Dachshunds have lots of energy and are known to be particularly food motivated, so it's important to make sure they are getting a well-balanced and nutritious diet. A good rule of thumb is to give them food specifically designed for small breed dogs, such as kibble or canned food that contains high-quality proteins, digestible carbohydrates, and beneficial fats. Depending on the age and lifestyle of your Dachshund, they also may benefit from additional supplements to help support their overall health.
Preparing for a new Dachshund is an exciting and rewarding task. First, make sure your house is ready for a pet – secure any areas where the pup could escape or get into trouble, and keep your home pet-free by removing items that could choke or poison them. Next, stock your supplies – food, water, bowls, a collar with an ID tag, a leash, toys, treats, bedding, and a properly sized kennel or crate. Research information on diet and exercise specific to the breed.
Dachshunds are an incredibly popular breed of dog, and their size range is part of what makes them so appealing. The breed generally grows to a height between 8 and 9 inches tall, and has a full-grown weight ranging between 16 and 32 pounds. Their size allows them to be portable and therefore often great companions for those with an active lifestyle. As with any breed, proper nutrition, exercise, and health screenings are essential to maintain for a happy and healthy pet.
Sure, you can take your dachshund running. However, it's important to remember that they are small dogs and therefore have relatively smaller lungs and can tire easily, so it's best to only go as far or as long as your pup wants to. Since they naturally lack stamina, it's important to make sure that your pup takes frequent breaks and has plenty of obedience training so they understand proper running technique and how to keep from overheating. Additionally, consult with your vet to learn more about the best practices when running with a dachshund.
Generally, Dachshunds do well with other pets when they are introduced in a proper manner. With the right socialization and training, Dachshunds can learn to tolerate and even develop strong relationships with other animals. Dachshunds need to be around other animals from a young age to help them learn how to be part of a larger group. With proper training, Dachshunds can learn to get along with cats, horses, birds, fish, reptiles, and other small mammals like guinea pigs and ferrets.
Dachshunds, commonly referred to as "weenie dogs", are thought to be one of the smartest dog breeds around. They possess a sharp intellect, and this combined with their eagerness to please their owners can result in a very loyal, obedient, and intelligent companion. Their strong sense of smell and alertness can sometimes make them appear nervous or frightened, which is why they require consistent training and patience. Dachshunds can be taught basic commands and perform well in agility competitions due to their intelligence.
