Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a playful, loving breed known for their fierce loyalty and courage. They are intelligent and devoted companions that are relatively easy to train. Physically, they are easily recognizable by their long, muscular bodies and short legs. Dachshunds come in a variety of coat types and colors and the two size varieties are standard and miniature. These long-living pups typically weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and grow to a height of 8 to 9 inches tall.
Dachshunds have a double layer coat which is short, thick and smooth on the top, and soft and dense under the top layer of fur. Their coat colors typically come in a range of reds, or a combination of red and cream. The colors also vary in terms of their markings. Some have the same color on the entire body; others have spots; and others have patches.
To keep your Dachshund healthy and happy, it is important to make sure they are getting the nutrition they need, and it is important to be aware of the food items they should avoid. Dachshunds should not be fed items such as chocolate, avocados, mushrooms, garlic, onions, and grapes, as these can lead to medical issues. Cooked bones, such as chicken or pork, can splinter and cause digestive blockage, so it is important to avoid them as well.
The best way to prepare your home for a new Dachshund is to clear a space for them. Make sure they have a cozy bed or crate with a clean blanket for them to sleep in and make sure there's plenty of toys for them to play with. Additionally, be sure to babyproof your house by tucking away any cords, items with small pieces, and medicines out of reach. Make sure any potentially hazardous elements are locked away, such as toilet-bowl cleaner, antifreeze, and rat poison. Also be sure to establish an area for their waste.
The size of your Dachshund puppy depends on several factors, including the breed chosen and the pup's gender. Generally, Dachshunds weigh 16-32 pounds and measure 8-9 inches in height. However, Miniature Dachshunds come in two sizes: Standard and Mini. Standard Miniature Dachshunds weigh 11-16 pounds and measure 8-11 inches in height. Miniature Dachshunds weigh 8-11 pounds and measure 5-6 inches in height.
Although Dachshunds are known for being energetic and enthusiastic, it is generally not advised to take your Dachshund running due to their long spine and short legs. Their hips and backs are especially vulnerable to injury and overexertion, so running could potentially be hazardous to their health. That being said, it is still possible to provide your Dachshund with some exercise that is both fun and safe.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are friendly and can get along with other pets if they receive the correct socialization and training. Interacting with other pets can help young Dachshunds learn how to behave in a controlled and appropriate manner. Of course all animals are different, and each Dachshund is unique, but as long as they are provided with the proper environment, socialization, companionship, and training, most Dachshunds can develop the ability to happily coexist with other pets as well as people.
Yes, Dachshunds are smart dogs. Renowned for their problem-solving and adaptability skills, their intelligence makes them easier to train than some other breeds. They can quickly pick up new commands and tricks, and remember them over time due to their mental agility and keen sense of behavior. Plus, they’re active and alert, and love to explore new sights and smells. With their natural curiosity to learn new things, Dachshunds often exhibit signs of intuitiveness, making them highly trainable.
