Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an AKC-recognized dog breed that belong to the hound family. Despite their short legs and elongated bodies, these versatile hounds were bred to work, and excel at a variety of tasks, including hunting, tracking, and guardianship. Dachshunds have been prized for centuries for their great sense of smell, which makes them excellent scent-hounds. Dachshunds come in two sizes, standard and miniature, and three variety of coats: short hair, long hair, and wire-haired.
The Dachshund coat is unique among dogs. It is fine-textured and smooth, and features a shiny, thick outer coat. They tend to have a wide variety of color variations, including red, black and tan, chocolate and tan, cream, and piebald. The fur on their body is short to medium-length and wiry, while their belly, inner ears and tail are usually covered with softer, finer fur. The density of their coat varies, as well, with some possessing a very thick, dense coat and others having a much thinner one.
Dachshunds have a varied diet, depending on their age and individual needs. Adult Dachshunds will eat a high quality dry kibble formulated specifically for their breed size and energy requirements. It is important to monitor how much is being consumed as they can tend to gain weight easily. This can be supplemented with canned, wet food; plenty of fresh vegetables, egg, yogurt, and homemade treats like chicken or salmon. For puppies, you'll want to research puppy formulas that are tailored to their smaller size and are rich in minerals and nutrients for their growth and development.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires diligence, patience, and devotion. To get off on the right foot, it's important to start off with a visit to the vet to make sure that your pup is healthy and to have all the necessary vaccinations. Make sure you stay up-to-date with all the usual check-ups and screenings for optimal pup health. Create a safe environment for your pup with plenty of toys, a comfortable bed, and a secure doggie-proof area to roam when unsupervised.
Yes, Dachshunds are generally considered small dogs, often weighing in between 16 and 32 pounds. The American Kennel Club recognizes them as a toy breed and they typically grow 13 15 inches long and 5 12 inches tall. This classification does not mean that all Dachshunds are small. There are two size variations, the standard and miniature Dachshunds typically standing 11 to 16 inches high at the shoulder, and sometimes weighing as much as 35 pounds or more.
Absolutely! Running is a great way to exercise for both owners and their Dachshunds. That being said, it's always important to be mindful of your pup's ability – Dachshunds are prone to back issues, so talk to your vet before taking your pup running to make sure it's safe for them. Additionally, pay attention to the surface of the ground you're running on – concrete or asphalt can cause trouble for your pup's joints, and stick to softer surfaces like dirt or grass.
Dachshunds typically get along well with children, but early socialization is key when it comes to proper manners and introducing a Dachshund to a new family. Generally, they're friendly and loving with children. However, since they're naturally protective of their owners, they may view strangers, including kids, as a potential threat and bark accordingly. Proper training and teaching kids how to interact respectfully with dogs is necessary for peaceful harmony between the two. Teaching the dog early in life that kids are a part of the family and deserve respect from him is also essential to success.
Dachshunds are indeed quite intelligent. They have the ability to learn commands and tricks, and can be quite trainable if done correctly. Dachshunds have a natural curiosity and tend to be quite clever, which makes them excellent problem solvers. They can easily pick up tasks quickly and will follow commands with little difficulty. They are also known for their loyalty and ability to remember their owners, and will remember things such as when their owners feed them or give them treats.
