Questions & Answers
Dachshunds belong to the Hound breed group of dogs and are generally classified into two varieties Miniature and Standard. They are medium size to small hunting dogs with long bodies that were originally bred to hunt small animals, especially badgers and foxes. They have short legs and long, hurtles bodies, giving them great maneuverability and a well-balanced appearance. Dachshunds have long, curved necks, broad skulls, and short, smooth coats that come in a variety of colors and patterns.
Though many people believe that Dachshunds are non-shedding, this is not necessarily the case. Dachshunds are low-maintenance and have short coats that require minimal grooming. However, they do shed and may require more frequent grooming sessions than other breeds. This breed typically takes well to brushing, and using a de-shedding tool or a Furminator® to remove loose hair may be beneficial. Additionally, as with any breed, regular workouts and providing a healthy, balanced diet appropriate for their size can help reduce the amount of shedding.
Dachshunds are a type of dog with special dietary needs. Generally, they require a high-protein, low-fat diet that is high in fiber. Good sources of nutrients for a Dachshund include lean proteins such as turkey, fish, and beef, as well as complex carbohydrates like brown rice, sweet potatoes, and oats. Fruits and vegetables can provide some essential vitamins that are needed, and low-fat dairy products like yogurt are great for ensuring a balanced diet.
Ensuring that your home is properly prepared for your new Dachshund is an important step to take before they arrive. Start by researching the necessary items to have ready, such as food and water dishes, a bed, toys, and a leash. Once you have these items gathered, make sure that any hazardous materials or areas your Dachshund could access are secure, such as poisonous household cleaners, electrical cords, and small items that they could swallow or choke on. Remember to also puppy-proof your home with covers for furniture and chew toys to help curb destructive behaviors.
Dachshunds, also known as 'sausage dogs' or 'weiner dogs,' can vary in size, depending on the breed. Generally, these small-to-medium-size dogs are considered to be a small breed compared to many other breeds. They usually range in size from about 8-10 inches tall, weighing 10-20 pounds. While it's true that Dachshunds are not the biggest of breeds, they are by no means considered to be tiny or delicate.
Dachshunds are playful and energetic, so while they may be small in size they need a moderate amount of exercise every day. This should include plenty of playtime, exercise specific to their breed like walks and dashes outdoors, mental stimulation with puzzles and treats given with a task, and occasional brushing and bathing to keep them healthy and engaged. A healthy Dachshund should have at least 45 minutes to an hour of exercise daily, including both physical and mental activities, to keep them in peak condition.
Dachshunds can make wonderful family pets, especially when they are properly socialized and trained. Generally, they are good-natured, loyal, and patient around children; making them well-suited for households with kids. They are small, energetic, and quite intelligent so they can quickly learn the rules of your home. Generally, they are excellent watchdogs due to their alertness and unwavering loyalty. With regular exercise and attention, Dachshunds can enjoy a close relationship with your kids.
The amount of time you need to devote to training your Dachshunds will depend on the complexity of the activities that you choose to do. Generally speaking, you should plan to dedicate at least 30 minutes a day. If you want to focus on tasks that are more complex or difficult, such as tricks, you may need to spend more time. It's important to break up the training throughout the day, as Dachshunds respond best to shorter, more frequent training sessions.
