Questions & Answers
Dachshunds, or "weiner dogs," are a very popular breed of small to medium-sized hounds. They are known for their cute and puppy-like look, but beneath that is a fearless and bold dog. They were bred to hunt small game like rabbits and badgers, so they have a strong prey drive and they excel at tracking. Dachshunds are loyal, loving, and often quite stubborn when it comes to obedience.
Dachshunds don't shed as much as other breeds, but they certainly don't fit into the category of being completely non-shedding. Although their short fur may make them look like no fur is being lost, it is likely that you will still find some fur around the house from time to time. Furthermore, Dachshunds need regular grooming, brushing and (depending on individual breed specific) clipping in order to keep their coats in optimal condition and to control shedding.
Dachshunds have similar dietary needs to most other small breeds. It is important to provide them with a balanced nutrition that takes into account their specific size and weight. Typically, these dogs do best either with commercially available kibbles formulated for small breeds or with home-prepared diets that are high in protein, low in fat, and easily digestible. Additionally, to help them maintain a healthy weight and prevent other health problems, it is important to feed Dachshunds properly portioned meals instead of free-feeding.
To prepare your home for a new Dachshund, start by researching the breed. Understand their needs for exercise, nutrition, grooming, and companionship so you can be sure you are ready to provide your pet with their necessary care. Purchase food, bedding, toys, and any other items your pet may need before bringing them home. Block off any areas or stairs you don't want them to access. Finally, create an inviting and comfortable environment for your Dachshund by providing plenty of play and snuggling opportunities.
Dachshunds come in two sizes; standard and miniature. A standard Dachshund typically weighs in between 16-32 lbs when fully grown, and stands 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder. By comparison, a miniature Dachshund will usually max out at 11 lbs and 5 or 6 inches in height. Either way, Dachshunds can be quite stout and lengthwise, they are much longer than they are tall. All Dachshunds have floppy ears, short legs, and an elongated body.
Dachshunds are curious, active dogs that require regular exercise to stay healthy. Generally, a Dachshund needs around 30 minutes of exercise daily to keep their muscles and joints flexible. This activity can include planned walks, playtime with their owners, or any other form of physical activity that utilizes the dog's stamina. It's important to note that the amount of exercise needed depends on a Dachshund's age, health, and size. Puppies may need shorter, more frequent walks, while older dogs may benefit from longer walks.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can get along with other pets, such as cat and dogs, if raised together from a very young age. Socialization with other pets during puppyhood is important in order to set up a solid foundation of being comfortable and familiar with them. Even so, Dachshunds can often show independent attitudes, and it takes patience and understanding to get them to bond with other pets. For example, introducing a Dachshund to a new pet should be done gradually by rewarding positive social interaction and avoiding forcing them together.
Yes, Dachshunds are often considered to be smart dogs. Years of dedicated breeding and selection by their human owners has enabled them to develop extraordinary problem solving skills. They have a tremendous capacity to learn and remember simple commands, and they can even recognize certain common words like ‘sit’ or ‘stay’. Furthermore, their keen sense of smell allows them to detect changes in their environment very quickly and effectively. With their naturally loyal and alert demeanors, it’s not difficult to see why Dachshunds are such an intelligent breed of canine.
