Questions & Answers
Dachshunds may be small, but they have big personalities! The name Dachshund actually means 'badger dog' in German. They were originally bred to hunt badgers and become known as courageous little 'digglers'. Despite their size, they are loyal protectors and make excellent watchdogs. Fun fact: their short legs are perfectly designed for moving through tunnels. Nowadays they are more popularly used as loving family companions and therapy dogs. With the ability to live 12-16 years, these dogs are known for their unconditional love and companionship.
Dachshunds are technically not non-shedding breeds, though their low to medium shedding amount is one of the reasons why they are a popular choice for pet parents. Although a Dachshund's short outer coat does not tend to shed a lot, it will still need to be groomed on a regular basis to help reduce shedding. Their inner coats tend to shed the most and can increase shedding in warmer weather. Regular brushing and grooming is essential to make sure all the fur is presented coming out from the pup and not built up in their double coats.
Yes, Dachshunds have certain dietary requirements compared to other breeds. Generally speaking, their diet should be high in protein and low in fat since Dachshunds are susceptible to digestive issues. Furthermore, because they are prone to obesity, they should also be limited in their calorie intake. Offering chewable treats and snacks should be done sparingly. Dachshunds also require calcium supplementation, and feeding them a calcium-rich diet such as eggs, canned salmon, cooked chicken bones, and ground beef bones can help meet their nutritional needs.
Preparing for a new Dachshund is an exciting endeavor! To make sure the transition into your home is smooth, do your research on the breed to learn about their size, lifespan, temperament, activity level, and grooming needs. Additionally, you should gather essential supplies, such as food and water bowls, a comfortable doggie bed, harness and leash, and collar and ID tags. Don't forget to invest in chews and toys, plus an exercise pen if you plan to have an indoor pup. Clean up your home to create a safe environment free of hazards.
Dachshunds, which are sometimes known as 'weiner' or 'sausage' dogs, come in a variety of sizes depending on their breed type. The American Kennel Club recognizes two varieties of dachshunds — standard and miniature — and within those categories, there are three coat types: smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired.
Taking your Dachshund running is certainly something many pet owners consider, however it is important to first evaluate the environmental conditions and make sure it is safe for them. Depending on the age, size and health of your pet and the temperature, terrain and distance you plan to cover, running may not be appropriate. For example, running on hot pavement and in direct sunlight can be hazardous to a Dachshund’s health since they are not well suited for such conditions.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds do well with other pets, although there can be exceptions. Proper socialization and training are key if you're looking to introduce your Dachshund to another pet. Dachshunds are typically laid-back and sociable which helps them get along with other pets. That said, it's important to start off slowly and steadily when introducing your Dachshund to a new pet, or wrapping up activities which could put them into conflict.
Dachshunds are indeed quite intelligent! Known as "sausage dogs" for their unique physical characteristics, these canines possess a wealth of mental aptitude as well. While Dachshunds can certainly be more independent and a bit difficult to train, they are also capable of learning tricks and rules with persistence and patience. They respond well to positive reinforcement and benefit from exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization in order to help reach their fullest potential. Dachshunds make great companion pets due to their lively personalities and wide range of abilities.
