Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique type of dog that belong to the hound category. Their characteristic long and low body shape, along with their short legs and long snouts, make them easily recognizable. They can come in several varieties such as smooth coat, wirehaired, and longhaired, and three sizes: standard, miniature, and kaninchen. As a hound, they can come in a number of colors, including black and tan, dapple, double dapple, brindle, and red.
Although Dachshunds are generally considered to be low shedding breeds, they are not a non-shedding breed. Dachshunds are considered "minimal shedders," meaning they do still shed their fur, though in much smaller amounts compared to other breeds. Because of their short fur, it's possible that their fur can become matted if left unattended so it is important to groom them on a regular basis in order to prevent any type of matting or skin irritation.
Dachshunds should not be fed chocolate, onions, grapes, raisins, avocado, garlic, macadamia nuts, candy, or any human food that is not specifically designed for canine consumption. These foods can be fatal if ingested in even small amounts, and other items such as uncooked bones and rawhide can lead to internal damage. In addition, many items contain questionable ingredients and preservatives that may cause health issues. It is always best to feed your pet a diet designed for them by their veterinarian or another animal nutrition specialist.
Dachshunds have some special requirements to ensure their health and wellbeing. They require regular grooming such as brushing and periodic baths to help maintain a shiny and healthy coat. Additionally, they need regular vet visits to keep their vaccinations and parasite preventatives up to date. Dachshunds should also have their teeth checked and cleaned to prevent tooth decay and diseases of the mouth and gums. It is important to provide them with proper nutrition and exercise to help them stay strong and active.
Dachshunds typically grow to be between 8-9 inches tall and weigh anywhere from 11-32 pounds depending on their breed (standard, mini, or toy) when full grown. They are classified as a small breed with a long body, short legs and floppy ears. Typically, their body length is larger than their height. All dachshunds have a slightly domed skull, a long muzzle, and large, low-set ears.
How much exercise your Dachshund needs each day depends on factors such as age, stamina and health. In general, it's recommended that your Dachshund gets 20 to 30 minutes of exercise each day, which includes a combination of walking and off-leash play. While 20-30 minutes is a good standard, a Dachshund should be walked for at least 45 minutes a day. This helps promote healthy muscles, endurance, mental stimulation and socialization.
Dachshunds can be a great choice for families with kids! As long as they are socialized properly during puppyhood and given consistent training throughout their life, these dogs are typically tolerant of young children. They tend to have great personalities and can be a loyal and loving companion. That said, they may not be the most ideal breed if you are seeking an athletic, tireless pup to take long hikes or play strenuous games of fetch. Dachshunds are generally very relaxed, even mellow dogs and will likely be content lounging around the house with your kids.
Yes, Dachshunds are very smart dogs. They have a keen sense of intelligence and learn commands 15-20% faster than other breeds. Dachshunds are also excellent problem solvers and can learn to differentiate between similar objects. They are extremely loyal and devoted to their owners, and they have a great capacity for understanding even complex commands. Additionally, their capacity for learning makes them successful in agility competitions and other events that involve obedience. That said, Dachshunds can be stubborn from time to time due to their independent nature.
