Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a loyal, loving breed of dog that originated in Germany and is easily recognizable by its distinct body shape. The breed is equipped with short and sturdy legs that make them well-suited for digging and burrowing. Dachshunds have long, narrow, and robust bodies which can vary in size from miniature to standard size. They come in two coat types, long-haired and short-haired. They have pointy ears and stubby tails.
Dachshunds have a variety of coat types that range in length, texture and color. Their coats are usually short and glossy, and consist of a soft undercoat and a shiny overcoat. Long-haired Dachshunds have a longer coat that ranges from silky feathering to a shaggy hair-like texture. They also come in a variety of colors, such as reddish brown, black and tan, and solid black or cream.
Dachshunds should not be fed overly salty foods like salted chips or snacks, anything too high in sugar like candy or pastries, bones of any kind, any foods with too much fat, alcohol, moldy food, raw dough or yeast, onions, chocolate, or avocado. Dachshunds can also get sick from eating some types of mushrooms so it's best to avoid those. Foods to avoid also include grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, and cured meats like uncooked ham or fatty bacon.
Preparing your home for a new Dachshund is an important step to ensure that your pup has a safe and comfortable environment. The first step is to puppy-proof your home; this includes securing any small items that could possibly be swallowed, covering any exposed wires, removing any toxic plants or chemicals from their reach, and covering or blocking off any areas or items you don't want your pup to access.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are recognized as small dogs since they usually weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and their body length is between 8 to 11 inches. As a member of the hound family, they were originally bred to hunt badgers and other animals which require dealing with tight burrows and clefts. Therefore, their small stature was an advantage but the nature of these breeds is friendly and even a dignified companion. Dachshunds are intelligent and curious. They are loyal to their owners. Active and brave, they have strong personalities.
Dachshunds, or "wiener dogs," are often misidentified as being averse to water. While they might not have the same natural swimming abilities as other breeds such as Labradors or Spaniels, Dachshunds can certainly enjoy a trip in the pool! With the help of a life jacket and some friendly encouragement, your Dachshund can learn to enjoy the water and become quite the water dog. Training your Dachshund to be comfortable in the water can give them the confidence to jump in themselves with no encouragement.
Absolutely! As with any dog, proper, socialization and training are key. With that being said, Dachshunds are generally friendly and affectionate dogs that tend to be quite gentle with children. Moreover, most Dachshunds possess an ideal temperament for family life they often crave both physical and mental stimulation, and love being engaged in play with their humans. Some breeds of Dachshunds are more mindful of their size and are less likely to jump or act too enthusiastic towards small children.
Training a Dachshund can be an enjoyable experience, but it is important to remember that every dog is different and may require different methods of training. Despite the individual differences, it is possible to provide a Dachshund with guidance that fosters successful behaviour. Patience and consistency remain key components to a successful training program and, with an understanding of their unique behaviour and needs, it can be a relatively easy process.
