Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of small, elongated hound that originated in Germany. These cute and loyal little dogs are known for their long body and their short legs, and come in two varieties: the standard and the miniature. They are known for their devotion to their owners and their playful personalities. Although they were originally bred to hunt, today they serve as family companions. Dachshunds are incredibly intelligent, make great watchdogs, and can be easily trained. Despite their small size, they are also surprisingly brave and tenacious.
Though some think that Dachshunds qualify as non-shedding or low-shedding dogs, the reality is that they tend to shed their light, fine coat of fur year-round. Intensive grooming, like brushing at least twice a week, can help to minimize seasonal shedding, however it is impossible to completely prevent their coats from shedding. Despite this potential shedding issue, Dachshunds offer a wide variety of attributes that make them great companion animals and worth considering for those who are able to handle a bit of seasonal shedding.
Dachshunds benefit from a high-quality, low-fat diet that meets their specific nutritional needs. A premium-grade kibble designed for small-breed dogs, such as those manufactured by Eukanuba and Diamond Naturals, is typically the best choice for Dachshunds. As with all dog food, it's important to evaluate the ingredients carefully to make sure it contains the right balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and other essential nutrients. Additionally, wet food can also be beneficial in helping to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
First, be sure to arrange a safe and comfortable space for your new Dachshund. Make sure that there are no stairs they could fall down, no potentially dangerous objects that could be so easily ingested, and be sure any chewing hazards are out of the way. Secondly, be sure to learn all about Dachshunds and their care—their size, nutrition, exercise, and grooming needs. Additionally, depending on your living situation, you may need to consider puppy-proofing your home to ensure your Dachshund will be safe from any dangers while you're away.
Most Dachshund puppies will reach their full size by 12 months of age, although some may take a bit longer. The size of your puppy will depend largely on the variety you choose. Standard Dachshunds will grow to around 8-9 inches high and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds will usually reach approximately 5-6 inches in height and weigh between 11 and 16 pounds. Lastly, the recently recognized Tan-Pointed Dwarf variety typically reaches 5-6 inches and weighs 8-11 pounds.
Dachshunds can certainly be energetic and active dogs if given proper exercise and attention. They are known for being lively and having a lot of energy. Although the breed is not known for its athleticism, they are still eager to run, play or take long walks. They typically stay fit and engaged if they have plenty of activity. In addition, Dachshunds thrive in activities such as agility training, flyball and fetch. This can provide them with mental enrichment and help to keep them fit.
Dachshunds can get along quite nicely with kids, providing they are supervised and taught proper behavior around the dog. Due to their small size and occasionally unpredictable temperament, children should always be taught to interact with them with kindness and respect, no matter what age the dog is. Generally speaking, Dachshunds are gentle and get along well with children of all ages, but it's important to make sure that all interactions are positive and that children are never rough or unkind with the dog.
Training a Dachshund begins with forming a strong bond between you and your pup. Start by teaching basic commands such as "sit" and "stay" and reward them when they correctly obey. Positive reinforcement is key in training a Dachshund. As they progress, introduce leash training. Always walk them in the same direction with a light tug on the leash if they get distracted. Exercise is essential for a Dachshund's health, but also a great way to expend their energy and further train.
