Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a type of medium-sized, short-legged, long-bodied dog. Originally bred in Germany centuries ago, this dog is classified in the hound group and is popularly known today as the "Sausage Dog" or "Wiener Dog" due to their resemblance to a sausage. This breed comes in two varieties long-haired and short-haired with three different coat colors: black and tan, black and cream, and red. Dachshunds are very loyal and make good family pets when socialized at a young age.
The Dachshund coat is usually short, smooth, and glossy, coming in an array of colors such as red, black, and cream. The wire-haired variety has a harsher, wiry coat that stands away from the body. The long-haired Dachshund has longer, flowing fur with feathery hairs on the underside. No matter the type and length of coat, all Dachshunds require minimal grooming, just an occasional brushing to remove excess fur. Although prone to shedding, Dachshunds can also be great pets for people who suffer from allergies.
Dachshunds require a special diet that caters to their size and metabolism. One of the best dog foods for Dachshunds is a premium-quality small-breed kibble that's made without artificial ingredients, fillers, or preservatives. This type of food should provide optimal nutrition specially formulated for a Dachshund's unique needs. It should include healthy proteins, whole grains, and beneficial supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin. Additionally, the food should be balanced, flavorful, and easy to digest.
Preparation for a new Dachshund is an important step in ensuring a successful and sustainable relationship. To begin, it's helpful to research the breed, its behaviors, and its particular needs. Make sure to have the necessary supplies for the pup like food, a dog bed, and toys ready, as well as any items to help with house training and keeping the pup comfortable. Become familiar with dog-friendly public spaces nearby.
Determining the size of your Dachshund pup can be difficult to predict, as there is no guarantee that it will behave as an adult in terms of size. Generally, adult Dachshunds range from 8-11 inches tall and weigh anywhere from 16-32 pounds. However, a puppy may not reach full size until as late as two years of age. To get a reasonable estimate of how large your pup may become, consider size of the parents, and the breeders records on similar litters.
While many Dachshunds may enjoy taking a dip in the pool or playing in the lake, it is not a breed characteristic and every individual is different. Generally speaking, Dachshunds are not good swimmers. They have short legs and a long, heavy body that make it hard for them to stay elevated in the water for long periods of time, so as a safety precaution it is best to not let them swim. Additionally, water could also be a concern for their sensitive ears, which could lead to serious infections if not carefully kept dry.
It is common to find Dachshunds that can peacefully coexist with other cats and dogs, although if they are not properly socialized with other animals from a young age, they may be more standoffish or aloof. Proper training can be key in helping Dachshunds learn how to interact with other animals. With proper introductions and continual positive reinforcement, your Dachshund can learn to happily share their space with other pets. Additionally, providing plenty of supervision and monitoring how interactions are going at first are important for making sure everyone in the household remains safe and comfortable.
Training your Dachshund is a great way to create an unbreakable bond between you and your pup because it’s all about communication. It's important to set some ground rules to ensure your Dachshund understands the kind of behavior that is expected. Start with basic commands like 'sit', 'stay', and 'come' and reward with treats and affection to celebrate their success. Additionally, create structure around potty training by being consistent with the times you take your Dachshund out, especially after eating and drinking.
