Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied hound breed. Originating in Germany, this ancient breed has existed for centuries. They are affectionate and loyal dogs, and make for great family pets. With courage and tenacity, the Dachshund is also a brave and resourceful hunter. They can vary in size and come in a few distinct varieties: standard or miniature, with wirehaired, smoothcoat, and long-haired coat types. Dachshunds are intelligent and require plenty of positive reinforcement, routine, and exercise.
Dachshunds don't typically shed a great deal of fur, however they are not considered to be non-shedding. Some Dachshunds are considered "hairless breed" which means they don't have a coat that sheds. However, these dogs can still produce dander, so it's important to maintain your Dachshund's regular grooming schedule to help keep shedding to a minimum. Additionally, be aware that Dachshunds may experience seasonal shedding, particularly in the spring and fall.
Dachshunds, like all other breeds, have special dietary needs which they should adhere to in order to ensure their proper health and longevity. Depending on the individual Dachshund, the age, size, activities, and general health, their dietary needs may vary. A balanced diet should consist primarily of high quality, nutrient-rich proteins; a variety of vegetables, grains and carbohydrates; and essential fatty acids. A veterinarian should be consulted to ensure the Dachshund is getting a daily dosage of the needed minerals, vitamins, and nutrients.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is an important step in ensuring a happy and safe environment for your pup. It’s helpful to make a checklist of what needs to be done. To begin, make sure to puppy-proof your home by blocking off off-limits areas, such as stairs and any dangerous areas. Next, purchase appropriate supplies such as a strong leash, food and water dishes, a bed, toys, and collar and identification tag.
Although Dachshunds are often considered small dogs, they can actually be of various sizes. Depending on the size of the dog, they may be classified as either a standard, miniature, or rabbit-sized dachshund. Standard Dachshunds typically weigh 16-32 pounds, whereas miniature Dachshunds usually range between 11 and 16 pounds. Additionally, rabbit-sized Dachshunds are incredibly small and may weigh around 8-11 pounds.
Dachshunds are indeed high energy, active dogs. They have been bred to be persistent in their pursuit of small creatures like mice, making them typical hunters and sporting dogs. Dachshunds generally need plenty of exercise, including a long daily walk and regular playtime, to remain healthy and happy. While these dogs may not necessarily require a lot of space to move around, they are keenly alert and love a good game of chase. Additionally, they are quite intelligent and enjoy engaging in problem-solving activities.
Dachshunds are generally known as playful, friendly pets that easily get along with other animals, adults, and even children. As long as both parties are properly trained and supervised by adults, it's possible for dachshunds and kids to become best friends! Dachshunds, also known as 'weiner dogs', love getting attention and playing fetch, which makes them a great pet for young children. With an early start to a lasting relationship, kids can learn to appreciate dachshunds as great cuddlers and companions.
The amount of time that is needed to train a Dachshund on a daily basis will vary depending on the individual dog and their level of obedience. However, in order to provide adequate and beneficial training sessions, a suggested minimum amount of time is 20-30 minutes per day. The amount of time depends on your goals, as well as the amount of experience the dog has. For example, for novice dogs, the amount of time can be shorter, while experienced dogs might need more repetition and longer sessions.
