Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a distinctive breed of dog with a long, low body, making them excellent for burrowing or going through tight spaces. They come as standard or miniature size, weighing up to 32 lbs for standard size and 11-16 lbs for miniature. They require grooming on a regular basis, including regular nail clipping and brushing of their coats. Because of their shape, they are prone to back injuries, so owners should be mindful of how they lift and carry them.
Dachshunds have a unique, glossy coat that comes in various colors and patterns. Depending on the Dachshund's sub-breed, their coat can be short, smooth, long and wired, or longhaired. Generally, the coat is dense and can have an oiled, wiry, or silky appearance. They are also known for harboring an undercoat that is tight and weather resistant, protecting them from wind, water, and cold temperatures.
Dachshunds have a carnivorous diet that is rich in proteins to meet their energy needs. Generally, they should be fed a commercial dog food, which should always be of a high quality. For optimal nutrition, try to select a diet specifically tailored to junior, adult, or senior Dachshunds. Additionally, you can supplement your Doxie's diet with vegetables, brown rice, and raw meat for variety. Avoid feeding table scraps as often these foods are not nutritionally balanced and may lead to nutrient deficiencies.
Owning a Dachshund is a rewarding experience but you also need to be prepared. Before you bring home a Dachshund, it's essential to purchase a few items to ensure a safe and comfortable life for your pup. A good quality crate, several sets of dog bowls, a harness and leash, training pads or a grass patch, chew toys, and a brush are all must-haves. It's also important to get your home ready for a Dachshund.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are not considered to be big dogs. Dachshunds usually weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and stand 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder at a fully grown adult. Due to this, they tend to be classed as small to medium-sized canines. However, there are special cases where Dachshunds can be considered larger than their average breed standard. For instance, 'standard' Dachshunds are actually the largest type, regularly exceeding the 30-pound mark.
Dachshunds are known for their inquisitive, energetic, and friendly personalities. While they have a reputation for being active companions, they can also happily snuggle in for a quiet nap. Like any breed, activity levels vary significantly from pup-to-pup and vary based on the age, health, and overall well-being of the individual dog. With proper exercise, training, and mental stimulation, Dachshunds can remain active and enjoy daily games of fetch and walks throughout the week.
Dachshunds make great family dogs due to their loyal, affectionate, and alert nature. They are also very playful and enjoy spending time with their human family. Dachshunds do need to be supervised when around children, as they can be easily hurt due to their small size; however, with the proper guidance they can form strong bonds with children. They also tend to be playful and tend to their family's needs. Dachshunds are intelligent and can learn commands easily.
The amount of time you need to devote to training your Dachshunds varies based on the dog's age and personality. Generally speaking, 10-15 minutes per day should be enough, but it may be necessary to allot additional time to reinforce newly taught behaviors. If you are just starting out, consider doing several short training sessions throughout the day. As your dog progresses, you can gradually increase the length of each session. It is also important to keep the sessions interesting and fun for both you and your pup.
