Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a lively breed of dog that make wonderful pets. They are easy to train and generally get along well with other dogs and people. As a medium-sized breed, they require regular exercise and need space to move around. Dachshunds possess a unique sense of humor and love to be the silly clown in the family. They are friendly and loyal, but can also be quite stubborn. Potential owners should understand that Dachshunds have special needs due to their long bodies and short legs.
Dachshunds are not considered to be a non-shedding breed, although the amount of shedding and the amount of hair they produce vary from dog to dog. Generally speaking, Dachshunds have a medium-length double coat with a smooth, short undercoat. They are considered to be moderate to heavy seasonal shedders, typically shedding their coat twice a year, when temperatures become milder or cooler and days become shorter.
Choosing the right food for a Dachshund is important, as they can be prone to weight gain. To keep them healthy, look for a quality food specifically designed for small breeds. It should contain meat as the first ingredient, as well as other essential nutrients such as fat, carbs, and fiber. Fatty acids and antioxidants help support your pup’s immune system. As with any food, make sure it’s free of artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. Look for any certifications or statement of quality from the manufacturer or a 3rd party.
Before getting a Dachshund, it's important to prepare by getting certain essentials. You'll want to buy a collar, leash and ID tag with your pup's name and your contact info. A bed for them to sleep on and chew toys to keep them occupied are also necessities. A grooming brush and supplies to take care of their fur is also important, as they have a double-layer coat that needs regular upkeep.
Dachshunds typically can range anywhere from 8 pounds to 30 pounds in weight with an average height of 5-9 inches. The difference in sizes is truly remarkable since the Standard Dachshund variety is much larger than the Miniature or Toy versions. Generally, the miniature size is not recommended for households with small children due to the smaller size of the breed, while the standard is better suited for households with older, calmer children. The miniature Dachshunds can sometimes longer than their standard counterparts, although that is not typical.
Dachshunds are a popular breed of small-to-medium-sized dogs that require a moderate amount of exercise to stay healthy and happy. Generally, they should have at least an hour of exercise each day, though this could vary depending on the individual dog. Exercise should include both physical activity like walking or running and mental stimulation like games and toys. When playing, ensure that the activity is suitable for their small legs and sensitive back. Regularly scheduled play sessions can help maintain good health, physical condition and improve mental wellbeing; while providing an outlet for energy and reducing restlessness.
Dachshunds can make wonderful family dogs. Their small and lightweight frame makes them well-suited to apartment living and they are generally non-aggressive and loyal. They do, however, require moderation when it comes to exercise, as overexertion can lead to health issues due to their long and fragile spine. Dachshunds can be quite independent and outspoken, so the family needs to actively exhibit leadership to provide the dog with consistent boundaries and structure.
Dachshunds are highly intelligent dogs that can be trained to do many things. To properly train your Dachshund, it is important to provide it with lots of positive reinforcement, set boundaries, and remain consistent with the training. Consider enrolling in a basic obedience class for a structured program that can help you better understand how to train your dog. Additionally, it can be beneficial to introduce short play and exercise sessions that focus on teaching basic commands like “sit”, “stay”, and “come”.
