Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a small breed of hound originating in Germany. They are an intelligent breed of dog, yet are known for their loyal and mischievous personalities. They are highly affectionate and individualistic pets, making them wonderful companions. While they can be good with children, they do tend to be quite active and may need a secure enclosure in order to protect them from running away. Dachshunds generally require little grooming, but regular brushing of their short coats is recommended. They do require exercise so daily walks of at least 20 minutes are suggested for a healthy pet.
The coat of a Dachshund is generally medium length, sleek, and shiny. It ranges in color from a range of reds, from deep hues to yellow and cream, with black hairs tipped along its back. The dachshund typically has a hard outer coat and a softer, thicker undercoat. They are also known for having longer, flop-over ears, a long back, and a very powerful tail that curls over its back. Its coat, while not overly dense, is very glossy and requires regular brushing and a bath every now and then.
Dachshunds are a resilient breed known for their voracious appetites. While you can feed them a variety of foods, it's best to provide them with balanced nutrition such as speciality dry kibble made for small breeds. This diet should provide all the vitamins, minerals, proteins, and other nutrients needed for long-term health and energy for your pup. Additionally, Dachshunds would benefit from an occasional treat as part of their diet, such as cooked eggs, cooked vegetables, fruits, and cottage cheese.
Prior to bringing your Dachshund home, it's important to prepare your home to create an inviting and safe environment. Make sure to puppy-proof. Purchase gates, plastic cord covers, and outlets with covers to ensure no areas are accessible to your pup. If you have any furniture with exposed chewing areas, such as leather couches, cover the material with throws or blankets. You should also provide a designated space for your pup to relax in, such as a soft cozy bed or blanket to cuddle up in.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. Studies have shown that these dogs range in size from about 8 to 32 pounds, making them a smaller breed compared to most others. As a medium-sized breed, a Dachshund's size allows them to fit comfortably in a variety of homes, from those with large plots of land to small apartments. What's more, their small size means that they do not need as much space to run around and exercise as other large breeds do. As a result, they are an increasingly popular choice of pets for people with smaller living spaces.
Dachshunds are active and energetic dogs that need daily exercise to remain healthy and fit. It is recommended that they receive at least 30 minutes of activity per day, but the amount of exercise time per day can vary depending on the age and energy levels of each individual dog. Exercise should consist of both mental and physical stimulations such as walking, running, playing, chasing games and fetch. When possible, take your Dachshund to an enclosed dog park where they can play and socialize with other dogs.
Dachshunds are typically known to get along well with kids. They're friendly and playful, making them a great family pet. With proper training, Dachshunds are easily adaptable to the company of children and they can develop strong bonds with them. As long as kids are taught how to treat any pet respectfully, then Dachshunds should have no problem in getting along with them.
The amount of time you should spend training Dachshunds will depend on your specific situation, goals, and level of experience with the breed. Generally speaking, you should plan to spend at least 10-15 minutes a day actively engaging in structured training exercises such as drills, obedience exercises, or focused bonding activities. Of course, additional time spent throughout the day reinforcing or repeating the activities will help produce the best results. Additionally, providing plenty of positive reinforcement and encouraging healthy communication are essential for ensuring your Dachshund is making meaningful progress in his/her training.
