Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of small dog with a long body and short legs, originating in Germany. Perhaps the most interesting thing about these little pups is their distinct personalities. While usually friendly and loyal, Dachshunds tend to be quite independent, with unique and amusing quirkiness that makes them an intriguing companion. In addition to their delightful personalities, they possess loads of bravery and tenacity, sometimes outweighing their small size. This courageous devotion to their owners makes them ideal candidates as a therapy animal or even a watchdog.
Dachshunds shed low to moderate amounts, so they are not considered completely non-shedding. However, they do not shed nearly as much as other breeds, making them a great breed of dog for people who are looking to reduce the amount of pet fur in their home. They do a great job of controlling shedding with regular brushing sessions that will help decrease the amount of fur you find around the home. Additionally, regular bathing sessions will help remove dead hairs that accumulate in the coat.
Dachshunds may have special dietary needs compared to other dog breeds, as they aren't known for having particularly efficient digestive systems. It is important to carefully select foods that are rich in essential vitamins and minerals to ensure your Dachshund receives the optimal nutrition for their needs. A high-quality dog food rich in animal proteins, and low in carbohydrates is best. It's also important to pay attention to your Dachshund's weight, as they can be prone to becoming overweight. Consider providing them with regular exercise to maintain a healthy weight.
Before you get a Dachshund, you should make sure you have the essential items you need to take care of them. Essential items include a leash, collar, identification tags, food and water dishes, toys, puppy pads, treats, a bed or crate, brush, nail clippers, a dog shampoo, heartworm prevention, flea and tick prevention, and a veterinarian appointment to establish a baseline of good health. Additionally, having a Dachshund can require extra space, or accessories like a fence, ramp, or doggy door.
Dachshunds, or 'Doxies', come in three distinct sizes. Of these, the standard size is the most common and weighs in at 16-32 pounds, with a body length of between 8-11 inches. There is also the miniature Dachshund, which is smaller and can be found at 11 pounds or under and with a body length of 5-8 inches. The third size is known as 'tweenie' and this weighs in between the two other sizes, usually in the 11-14 pound range and a body length of 8-11 inches.
Dachshunds often enjoy swimming and will eagerly paddle with their short legs when they are in the water. Some Dachshunds may even try swimming on their own. Generally, Dachshunds love activities or games that they can do with their owners, and swimming can be a great way to help these dogs stay healthy and active. Even if a Dachshund isn't naturally inclined to swim, with enough encouragement and practice, many Dachshunds can learn to love swimming and the other activities that come with it.
Dachshunds, on the whole, can get along with other pets in a household. It is important to assess the character and temperament of each individual dachshund and introduce it slowly to other animals in the home. A dachshund's smaller size compared to other breeds can mean that other pets may perceive them as a playful rival in which case, early socialisation will be key to establishing a healthy relationship. With the right guidance and loving care, dachshunds and other pets are able to live harmoniously in the home.
The amount of time it takes to train your Dachshund will vary according to the training method used and the individual dog's age, personality, and learning ability. Generally speaking, it's best to aim to engage in training with your Dachshund for roughly twenty to thirty minutes per day. More involved training, such as long duration behaviors or performances, may take up to a full hour per day. It is important to factor in the amount of time necessary to engage in playtime and socialization throughout the day, in addition to training time.
