Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a type of small Hound dog that originates in Germany. Featuring a long body and short legs, these dogs are often described as 'long and low'. They come in two main varieties wire-haired or smooth-haired and a variety of colors, from solid shades to more flashy patterns. Dachshunds are known for their loyal, fun-loving disposition and playful nature, and for their loyalty and willingness to please their owners. They have a great amount of stamina and can be active and energetic.
Dachshunds do not fit the definition of a non-shedding breed; however, they still have a relatively low level of shedding. While they are not hypoallergenic and cannot be classified as a 'no shedding' breed, the amount of fur they shed is much lower when compared to other breeds, such as long-haired German shepherds and spaniels. Dachshunds' fur tends to be short and keep its shine, meaning your home remains mostly free of long hairs that usually populate hard surfaces like tables and chairs.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs compared to other breeds. They require a diet that is low in fat and high in fiber due to their long spine and propensity towards obesity. It's important to monitor their food intake and to only provide treats in moderation. Additionally, they require a calcium and phosphorus level that is balanced due to being at risk for bone and joint issues. Lastly, Dachshunds should be eating an age appropriate diet that meets their energy and nutritional needs; as their age increases, their metabolisms tend to slow, making adult options more suitable.
The best way to become a great puppy parent for your Dachshund is to dedicate the necessary time and effort to ensure that their physical and psychological needs are met. Show your Dachshund love and understanding by enforcing consistent boundaries and providing them with plenty of positive reinforcement and companionship. Exercise and play must be incorporated into their daily routine in order to keep them happy and healthy – prioritize going for regular walks and playing in the backyard. Make sure their diet is balanced and suited to their particular breed and age.
Dachshund puppies come in two sizes Standard and Miniature. The Standard size will grow anywhere between 16 and 32 pounds and can reach heights of 8 to 9 inches with lengths of 12 to 16 inches. Miniature Dachshunds will typically grow to be an average of 11 and 16 pounds and can reach heights of 5 to 6 inches with lengths of 8 to 9 inches. Ultimately, your Dachshund puppy's size will be determined by its parent's genetics, so it is impossible to predict exactly how big it will grow to be.
Dachshunds typically have a mixed response to swimming, as some do not enjoy it while others do. Many factors, such as the age and disposition of the individual, may contribute to their attitudes toward water. Generally, though, Dachshunds are considered to have a low tolerance for swimming. Their short legs and long bodies make them more susceptible to fatigue in the water, and unlike other breeds, they lack webbing between their toes that helps with swimming. However, with careful monitoring and proper exercise and conditioning, some Dachshunds have been trained to swim.
Dachshunds can be a great fit for families with kids, as they are usually very friendly and loving dogs. They have a reputation for being loyal and good natured, and many owners report that they are well behaved in the presence of young children. However, it's important to remember that, since they are small dogs, they require extra attention and caution in homes with children to prevent accidents or potential harm to the pet. They should never be left unattended, regardless of the size of the individual, as dachshunds have a tendency to become territorial.
The amount of time you need to train a Dachshund varies depending on the individual pup. Generally speaking, most Dachshunds benefit from at least 15 minutes of focused training each day. This can be broken into shorter sessions throughout the day. However, if your pup has difficulty focusing in one sitting or if your are training for a specific competition or activity, you may need to spend up to an hour a day training your dog. You should also factor in time for routine maintenance such as feeding and grooming. Training and routine maintenance may take up to two hours of your day.
