Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a pup belonging to the hound family originating from Germany. They are known for their short legs and their long body, with sizes going from miniature to standard. They are a very loyal breed and make wonderful companions due to their lively, loving, and intelligent nature. The breed dates back hundreds of years, slightly modified for the tasks their owners have asked of them over time. They have a great sense of smell and are a great pet for those who love to take their dogs out and about.
Dachshunds are not non-shedding, but they do typically shed very little compared to other breeds. Some Dachshunds may have coats that require more frequent brushing and grooming, whereas others may rarely, if ever, need such maintenance. Dachshunds may also need periodic baths to keep their coats looking and feeling healthy. However, regardless of how they are cared for, Dachshunds will still generally shed minimally throughout the year.
Dachshunds should not be fed human food such as chocolate, onions, sugar-free candy, alcohol, grapes, raisins, or any type of nuts. These items are toxic to dogs and can cause severe health issues. It's also important to avoid feeding this breed food that is high in fat, as this can cause them to become overweight, leading to problems with their spine and discs in their back. Additionally, it is important to provide the correct amount of kibble for a Dachshund, as overfeeding can lead to dangerous weight gain.
Preparing for a new Dachshund should involve more than just buying food and a leash. Dachshunds require extra attention and understanding since they are an active breed. The first step is to research the breed and become familiar with its unique needs. Dachshunds should be trained early on in basic commands and taught to respect boundaries. Be sure to get your pet spayed or neutered to ensure that it is healthy and well adjusted.
Dachshunds come in two distinct sizes:Standard and Miniature. The Standard size is generally 15 16 inches (at the shoulder), and typically weighs from 16 32 pounds. The Miniature size is 11 inches or under (at the shoulder), and typically weighs 11 pounds or less. So ultimately the size a Dachshund can come in will depend on the size of the parent dog.
Dachshunds are relatively active dogs that need the right amount of exercise to stay healthy and happy. This exercise should be tailored to the individual dachshund, depending on factors like age, health history and size. In general, a 30 minute walk or outdoor play session will suffice for adult dachshunds. Puppies may need shorter, more frequent play sessions due to their energy and age.
Dachshunds can make great companions for families with children. They are generallyPeople-oriented, friendly, and generally good-natured. Dachshunds love to interact with their owners and can typically adjust well to living in a household with kids. Despite their small size, dachshunds are actually quite courageous and will do their best to protect their loved ones. As with any pooch, careful supervision is recommended in order for any interactions between them and the children to go smoothly.
Dachshunds are renowned for being clever and independent. Known for their alertness and bravery, they often use their cleverness to their advantage in training and solving problems. Whether considered "smart" or not is ultimately subjective, but the truth is that Dachshunds are smart in their own unique way. They understand a variety of commands and tasks, and they are able to easily recognize their owners, those whom they are familiar with, and situations. With their high levels of intelligence, the breed does require considerable time and attention to help them maintain their intelligence.
