Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are hound dogs that are part of the Working Group classification of dog breeds. They are known for being scent dogs and their iconic sausage-shaped body and stubby legs. These canines have a variety of coat types, including smooth, long-haired, and wire-haired that come in a wide array of colors. The intelligence, loyalty, and alertness of Dachshunds make them ideal family pets, plus they tend to develop very close bonds with their owners over time.
The Dachshund boasts a unique and distinct coat that sets it apart from other breeds. The silken double coat is composed of a lush and wiry topcoat overlying a soft and dense undercoat. This combination of coats helps protect the Dachshund from low temperatures and also provides a water-resistant quality. Generally, Dachshunds come in a variety of colors and patterns, making it easy to identify them among other dogs.
Yes, Dachshunds have certain dietary needs that should be taken into consideration. Since these dogs are prone to back problems, it's important to choose a diet that promotes their overall health and well-being. Diets high in dietary fiber and multiple sources of protein are recommended for optimal health maintenance in Dachshunds. Fats should be limited to avoid excessive weight gain, and an abundance of minerals and vitamins should be included in their diet. Additionally, they should be provided with adequate amounts of fresh water throughout the day.
Yes, Dachshunds have some specific needs. Generally, they need a lot of exercise, especially during puppyhood in order to build strong bones and muscles. A good daily walk is usually enough, but if you have a large backyard with plenty of space, a good romp around the yard to expend some energy is beneficial for them. Dachshunds also require a balanced diet that includes chewable treats to keep their teeth in good condition.
It depends. Dachshunds come in two sizes standard and miniature and their size can vary depending on their pedigree. On average, standard dachshunds weigh 16-32 pounds and range in height from 8-9 inches. Miniature dachshunds generally weigh 11 pounds or less and are 5-6 inches high. However, depending on the parent dogs from which the puppy is descended, the size of your puppy could be smaller or larger than the average.
Dachshunds have long, svelte and wide bodies, which many people think would make them perfectly suited to swimming. While not all of them are the biggest fans of the water, and prefer to stay on dry land, some Dachshunds take to the water quite well. Whether or not your Dachshund likes to swim can vary greatly from one pooch to another. Some will happily take a dip, while others may need coaxing or extra reassurance.
Dachshunds can indeed make fantastic family pets. These loyal, spunky, and smart pups make for great additions to any home. Dachshunds get along with everyone from the youngest kid in the family to the oldest grandparent and often even other animals. Their size is perfectly suited not only for urban apartments but also for suburban homes with a yard. They are a great companion both indoors and outdoors. Not to mention, Dachshunds are easily trainable and respond incredibly well to positive reinforcement methods.
Training your Dachshund is not difficult but requires patience and positive reinforcement. Start with simple commands such as "Sit" and "Stay." Make sure your Dachshund understands the command before offering a reward such as a small piece of food or a toy. Once the command is understood, slowly increase the difficulty by making your Dachshund hold a command longer or sit in a different place. Praising your pet when they complete a task is important to build motivation. You can also use distractions like people or animals to test if they can complete the command in different environments.
