Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an unique and distinctive type of dog that belong to the Hound group. They are a very loyal breed that is known for their petite body found in either wire-haired, long-haired, or short-haired varieties. A distinct feature of the breed is their elongated body, short legs, and strong bone structure, which makes them excellent as companion dogs and great at activities such as hunting or tracking. Dachshunds also have large, floppy ears, a long snout, and a curved tail, giving them a unique appearance.
The Dachshund has two different types of coats, the smooth-haired and the long-haired. The smooth-haired coat is short and sleek, while the long-haired coat is luxurious and can be wavy or curly. The colors for both coat types typically range from buff or reddish to dark brown. Some even sport a mottled pattern. Dachshunds naturally have an additional layer of fur between their outer coat and their body which keeps them warm during colder climates.
While Dachshunds, like most breeds, do not have unique dietary needs, they require a balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and other nutrients to ensure optimum health. It is important to provide quality dog food designed to meet the needs of small breeds to ensure proper growth. Additionally, owners should regularly review their dog’s diet and modify it according to their pet's age and activity level. Regular vet check-ups are also recommended to ensure your Dachshund's health and nutritional needs are met.
Preparation for a new Dachshund requires patience, time, research, and planning. As a first step, ensure your home and yard are safe and appropriate for a furry companion by removing any hazardous items. Check with your veterinarian for a recommended vaccination schedule, and any other health and wellness advice. Understand the breed's personality, needs and behaviors—like being high energy and in need of daily exercise—to ensure a good fit for you and your lifestyle. Establish a schedule for meal times and bathroom breaks to avoid accidents and reinforce good potty habits.
Dachshunds typically weigh around 16-32 pounds, with mini Dachshunds falling between 11-16 pounds, and maxi Dachshunds weighing around 33-48 pounds. This puts them into the category of smallto medium-sized breed, so no, they are not considered large. There are some who refer to all Dachshunds as "weenies" due to their small stature, although they may have long and wiry coats. Some can even be mixed with other breeds to produce a bigger dog.
It is recommended that Dachshunds receive at least 30 minutes of exercise per day, ideally in several short walks. Depending on the age and health of your Dachshund, you may want to consider increasing the time spent walking—or even including another activity, such as a game of fetch or a play date with another canine companion—to provide maximum health benefits.
Generally, yes, Dachshunds are known to be social and energetic animals that typically get along with other pets well. They have an amiable, friendly demeanor and tend to be quite playful with their human and canine counterparts. As with all pets, it is recommended to introduce them to a variety of other animals in a controlled environment so that the dog can get comfortable with its new companions. Additionally, it's important to provide plenty of positive reinforcement when introducing new animals, and ensuring they all receive plenty of love and attention, to facilitate a harmonious relationship.
The amount of time you will need to devote to training your Dachshunds will vary depending on your goals. In general, a minimum of 10-15 minutes a day should be dedicated to basic obedience training. If you want to specifically focus on tricks or instruction, such as agility training, then your daily commitment should be closer to 30-45 minutes. No matter how long you spend training, breaks should be taken for potty breaks, cuddles, and playtime throughout the day.
