Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are medium-sized dogs of the hound family, with short legs and a long body, and a keen scent. As a result, these energetic and active dogs are often used as working dogs. Dachshunds are most commonly known for their bold and independent character, making them fiercely loyal family companions. Depending on coat type, size, and personality, Dachshunds can be placed into two distinct classes-the standard class and miniature class.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are light shedders, meaning they don't lose as much fur as other breeds. While no dog is truly non-shedding, Dachshunds' coats are easy to manage, and you will not find clumps of fur around your furniture or carpets. This breed may have more shedding during seasonal changes when their bodies are adjusting to the weather and climate. To help keep shedding to a minimum, it's important to brush your Dachshund regularly with the appropriate brush to remove excess hair and debris.
Yes, Dachshunds do have special dietary needs relative to other breeds. For instance, because of their enlarged disc and long spine, too much dietary fat or excess calcium can lead to orthopedic problems. To prevent this it’s best to maintain a diet for Dachshunds that is high quality and low in fat, and also contains appropriate levels of calcium, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
If you're thinking of getting a Dachshund, there are a few essentials you'll need. First, you'll need a quality collar, coupled with an ID tag or personalized name plate. You should also consider investing in a sturdy leash and appropriate harness for long walks outdoors. You'll also want to get some quality food and treats that are formulated for large breeds. Finally, for potty training and overall comfort, make sure to pick up some absorbent pads or puppy litter in your local pet store.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. Standard sized Dachshunds typically weigh 16-32 pounds and are 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder, while miniature Dachshunds usually weigh no more than 11 pounds and stand 5-6 inches in height. Despite their size, Dachshunds have remarkably large personalities and are often very active dogs. They require regular exercise and playtime to stay healthy and happy. Keep in mind that although Dachshunds may appear small, they require as much work and training as larger breeds.
It is widely known that Dachshunds are not particularly big fans of water and swimming. However, depending on the individual dog, some Dachshunds may enjoy a cool swim in a pond, pool, or lake. It is important to note, however, that it's not advised to leave a Dachshund unattended in a pool as they can tire easily and not be able to make it back to shore. It is also very important to make sure that the water is not too deep for a Dachshund as they are not good swimmers.
Dachshunds have the potential to get along with other pets in the household. Generally speaking, socialization and positive reinforcement training at an early age can help a Dachshund adjust to the presence of other animals. However, it is important to monitor the relationship between a Dachshund and other pets, and ensure they are not displaying any signs of aggression. Dachshunds must understand the other pet is a part of the family and is not a threat.
Dachshunds can be incredibly clever and intelligent dogs. Though smaller in size, their sharp minds make them capable of learning and understanding commands quickly. They are normally quite food-motivated, so using treats in learning sessions can be a great way to train them. Dachshunds are also known for their inquisitive and energetic natures, as well as their loyalty to their owners. Many owners have shared stories about their Dachshunds doing unexpected things that demonstrate their intelligence, like opening latches or navigating mazes.
