Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of short-legged, long-bodied dog of the hound family. Dachshunds are believed to have originated in Germany, where they were bred to hunt badger and other small animals. They come in three varieties: smooth-haired, longhaired, and wirehaired. All three varieties come in a variety of colors and patterns. The average size of a Dachshund is between 8 to 9 inches tall and 16 to 32 pounds in weight. They have strong muscular physiques and unique long, curled tail.
Dachshunds are low-shedding dogs, meaning they generally don't leave hair around the house as much as other breeds do. They typically only shed their coat once or twice a year, and regular brushing can help reduce the amount of loose fur left in the house. While their coat won't require too much additional attention to keep it in top condition, it's important to remember that regular professional grooming will help your pup look their best. On top of that, Dachshunds tend to have longer hair which can increase the amount of shedding over their shorter haired counterparts.
Dachshunds should not be given foods that are too chewy, high in fat, or too hard. It is essential to avoid certain foods, like chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, coffee, fruit pits, and macadamia nuts, as they are highly toxic to this breed. Additionally, cooked bones can be dangerous to your Dachshund since they can splinter and get stuck in their throats.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to consider the associated costs and the necessary supplies required to provide a healthy and comfortable home environment. Those essentials might include an appropriately-sized crate or kennel for house training and keeping the puppy safe while you are away. You will also need comfortable dogs beds, bowls for food and water, appropriate-sized collars with ID tags, an obedience book, durable leashes, chew toys, and grooming supplies such as toothbrush, nail clippers, and brushes.
Dachshunds typically come in two sizes: standard and miniature. The standard size usually weighs between 16 and 32 pounds, and the miniature size is usually 11 pounds or less. Their body length can range from 8 to 9 inches for the miniature and 12 to 14 inches for the standard, and their muzzles can range from long and pointy to short and blunt. This breed is usually just over 8 inches tall at the shoulder and has short, muscular legs, a long body, and a curved back.
A healthy amount of daily exercise for a Dachshund is essential to their wellbeing. While the exact amount of time depends on your particular pup, a good rule of thumb is to aim for at least 30 minutes of activity such as walking per day. This time can be broken up into two or more short periods if necessary. Additionally, engaging in stimulating activities such as playing in the yard, chasing a ball, or taking a leisurely walk through the park can help fulfill your pup's need to release energy and explore its environment both physically and mentally.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are well-known for their intelligence and loyalty, making them an excellent addition to any family. Not only do they thoroughly enjoy spending time with their family, but they're also incredibly adaptable and can fit well into almost any environment. Dachshunds are full of energy and are renowned for their playful nature, which make for fantastic playmates for children. As long as you provide them with proper training and socialization, they can also be well-behaved inside and outside of the home.
Training your Dachshund is an important part of being a responsible pet owner. To begin, use positive reinforcement such as verbal praise, treats, or toys. Start with basic commands such as sit, stay, and come. Remember to keep practice sessions short and positive. Loud, harsh reprimands can cause dogs to become fearful, so never punish a dog during training. Additionally, you can teach tricks such as shake, roll, or ‘play dead’ in order to keep your Dachshund entertained.
