Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a type of hound dog that was bred in Germany centuries ago. They have long, low bodies, short legs, long ears, and minimal shedding fur. The breed is often referred to as 'sausage dogs' because of their shape. Dachshunds are well-known for their smiley faces and outgoing personalities. These dogs also make great family pets as they are loyal, playful, and very trusting. In addition, they tend to be very vocal, which can be both good and bad depending on the owner.
Dachshunds are not considered non-shedding breeds. Although it is possible to find a low-shedding Dachshund, they typically have a moderate to heavy shedding coat. Generally speaking, you should expect to dedicate time to grooming and brushing to help regulate dander accumulation. However, if you are seeking a non-shedding breed of dog, a Dachshund is not the ideal choice.
Dachshunds should not be fed foods high in fat or sugar, such as table scraps, candy, or ice cream. Foods that are high in these substances can lead to weight gain and digestive issues. Foods to avoid include bones, popcorn, grapes and raisins, onions, garlic, nuts, fruit pits, raw or undercooked meats and fish, and chocolate. These can cause an obstruction in their system, an upset stomach, or even an allergic reaction.
Being the best puppy parent for your Dachshund starts with developing a bond with your pup and understanding their behaviors, tendencies, and needs. Taking your pup to obedience classes can help them socialize and teaches them important commands. Establishing a routine for feeding, playtime, and walks is also important for your pup's development. Providing a consistent schedule for these activities will help your Dachshund adjust to their environment. Additionally, make sure your pup has plenty of toys to play and chew with and feel free to give them treats if they've been behaving.
Dachshunds range in size from 8 to 32 pounds, which means that they are technically considered small-to-medium sized dogs. When compared to larger breeds like Labradors and German Shepherds, dachshunds appear much smaller; however, compared to small breed dogs like Chihuahuas and Yorkies, dachshunds can look quite sizable. Interestingly, the word 'dachshund' literally translates to 'badger dog' in German, and their longer, cylindrical bodies are ideal for reaching into tight spaces.
Dachshunds can certainly fit the bill for an active pet. These smaller-sized hounds are known for being quite full of energy, enjoying walks, playing, and exploring. They are capable of hefty exercise, particularly when separated into smaller amounts each day. As long as the owner can keep up with their Dachshund's energy level, this breed is often a great choice for a person or family looking for a companion that is lively and dynamic. However, it is important to take into account the varying degrees of activity depending on size and lineage.
Yes, generally, Dachshunds are friendly and do well with other pets. With the right socialization, they can learn to be comfortable sharing their living space with cats, small animals and other dogs. However, some Dachshunds may take some extra time to adjust to a new pet in their home, as they can be quite territorial. It's important to introduce them gradually and provide plenty of positive reinforcement to help them get used to their feline or canine companions. With patience and consistency, Dachshunds can form lasting bonds with other household pets.
Training a Dachshund is similar to training other breeds, as it requires patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Start by socializing your pup with other animals and people, teaching it basic commands such as sit, stay, come, and down. To reinforce these lessons and get your pup into a routine, use treats to reward positive behavior. Additionally, practice recall exercises such as coming when called and rewarding your pup with a treat. Be sure to use a consistent tone accompanied with gentle physical commands such as pointing or leading to reinforce the desired behaviors.
