Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of small, long-bodied hunting dogs. They are lively, goofy, and affectionate, making them a popular choice for families. Dachshunds come in two sizes: Standard and Miniature. The Standard size typically weighs 16-32 lbs, while the Miniature is usually 11 lbs or less. Dachshunds require regular exercise and grooming to remain in optimum health. As a hunting breed, they are known for their impressive skills and noteworthy stamina. Their sharp intellect and keen senses make them excellent watchdogs.
Dachshunds have a double coat that makes them well-suited to cold climates. The top layer of their coat is a coarse, thick, wiry hair and the bottom layer is softer and woolier, which helps keep them warm and dry. The smooth, short-haired variety of Dachshunds has an even shinier, denser coat that feels velvety to the touch. Those with long coats boast a luxurious, longer, thinner coat on both the body and tail.
Dachshunds do have some special dietary requirements that owners should be aware of. As with any breed, it's important to ensure they are provided with a nutritionally complete diet that meets their needs. Dachshunds are prone to gaining weight, so it's important to consider the amount of calories and fat in their food. They are also a small breed, so their diet should include extra vitamins and minerals that are especially beneficial for joint health and to prevent bloat. Lastly, it's important to make sure their diet includes a good source of fiber to help with digestion.
Preparing your home for your new Dachshund is easy! Create a safe, comfortable area that your dog will be able to call his own. Get suitable bedding, and perhaps a few toys, and be sure to pick up anything small that may pose as a choking hazard. Consider fencing in your yard so your dog stays safe. Have your vet's contact information handy in case of emergency.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and are 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder. Miniature Dachshunds typically weigh no more than 11 pounds and are 5 to 6 inches tall at the shoulder. Although there is some variation in size among individuals, when choosing a Dachshund, size is an important factor to consider. If purchasing a puppy, it is important to ask its breeder about its eventual size when it is an adult.
Dachshunds need moderate amounts of exercise to keep fit and healthy. As with exercise requirements for all breeds, it is important to tailor to best suit their individual needs taking into consideration age, weight, and overall health and lifestyle. All Dachshunds need to get out for daily walks, provided the exercise level is appropriate for their age. For young ones, short walks with a slow pace are usually sufficient to take care of their exercise needs; while adult Dachshunds, typical walks of around 30 minutes a day usually prove beneficial.
Dachshunds have become particularly popular in recent years, and for good reason. They make an excellent addition to any family dynamic, due to their upbeat personality and their loyalty. Dachshunds are very loving and enjoy interacting with their human family; they are known for their adventurous and social nature. They are independent and can thrive in the company of older children, although younger children may accidentally squeeze Dachshunds too hard or too much for their fragile frames.
Dachshunds are certainly known for their intelligence and most owners can attest to their high level of cognitive abilities. This breed is particularly adept at problem solving, has strong memory capacities and often demonstrate an understanding of their responsibilities to their owners. They are well-known for nimbleness, sensitivity and understanding of their people. Dachshunds can learn tricks quickly and will even remember commands you give them after extended periods of time. Generally speaking, Dachshunds are quite smart compared to other breeds and thrive with an owner that provides mental stimulation.
