Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied, enthusiastic hound breed of dog. Dachshunds can weigh anywhere from 8-32 pounds and come in a variety of colors. The most common being wirehaired, smooth-haired, and longhaired with their most identifying characteristics being their short legs and elongated bodies. Dachshunds are known for being loyal, spunky, courageous, and alert companions, making them great family pets. As a breed, they are active and tend to excel at activities such as agility and obedience training.
Dachshunds are not a non-shedding breed. In fact, these lovable dogs have a tendency to shed quite a bit. During the spring and summer months, they tend to have heavier coats that need more frequent brushing in order to pull out the excess fur. Additionally, their snouts can easily bead up shedding fur as they step outside for their daily walks. Despite their tendency to shed, Dachshunds are incredibly rewarding companions and many times perfect for a variety of apartments or homes that don't have the space for larger breeds.
Yes, Dachshunds special dietary needs do exist. As a breed, they have a greater likelihood of developing complications like obesity, pancreatitis, and diabetes due to their small, deep chests and habit of eating fast. To prevent these complications, owners must ensure that their Dachshunds are properly fed a balanced, nutritionally complete diet that is tailored to their age and metabolism. Food should be portioned out throughout the day instead of giving one huge meal and foods containing canned pumpkin can help reduce risk of constipation.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to make sure you are ready to provide quality care. A few must-have items for the pup include a crate for sleep or travel, a bed that's comfortable and supportive, a collar and leash, food and water dishes, quality pet food, chew toys, treats to reward good behavior, waste bags, and a brush for grooming. Other essentials include a health-check with a veterinarian, identification tag, puppy training classes, and lots of love and attention.
Dachshunds are generally regarded as a small breed, but it's possible for them to reach a maximum height of up to 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder, and their weight can range from 7 to 11 pounds. In addition to this, they can have a body that's anywhere from 8 to 20 inches long. Therefore, their size can be highly variable depending on their ancestry, but generally, most Dachshunds stay quite small. Their build also varies across breeds, but all have short legs that are good for digging and have bodies designed for strength and endurance.
Generally speaking, taking a Dachshund running is not recommended due to their short legs and elongated spine. Long-distance running with a dog can cause joint damage, breathing problems, or aggravate pre-existing medical conditions. Even if you cut the run to a modest distance, frequent use of this kind of exercise may strain their bodies and joints, and can even be dangerous. Instead, consider taking your pup on short walks to provide the necessary physical exercise, and use agility and other activities to exercise their minds.
Dachshunds can be a good breed for first-time dog owners. They are a fairly low-maintenance breed, typically friendly and playful, that doesn't require a lot of space. Generally they are a loving breed, and since they only get to be 15-28 pounds they don't require a large house or yard. They require some daily exercise, but are generally content to play inside too.
Dachshunds are intelligent and affectionate dogs, and like all breeds, they need to be trained in order to learn how to respond to commands and live a harmonious life within their home and community. Training a Dachshund requires patience and consistency, as with all breeds. Start by teaching your Dachshund basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, down and come. Positive reinforcement works well for Dachshunds, so reward each command with treats, verbal praise, and verbal or physical affection for successful responses.
