Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly unique and interesting breed. To start, they have an elongated body and stubby legs that make them stand out from other dog breeds. Additionally, they've been around since the early 1600s and were originally bred to do anything from hunting badgers to being a companion pet. An interesting fact about their physicality is that they were created for tunnel-hunting and have an impressively long backbone and large ears for exploring narrow tunnels. On average, an adult Dachshund measures 16 inches and weigh in at between 16 and 32 pounds.
No, Dachshunds are not non-shedding. Known as ‘sausage dogs’ due to their long, slender bodies, this particular breed of dog has a double coat of medium length fur that naturally sheds. While the shedding typically occurs more heavily during seasonal changes and when the dog is being groomed, you will find that daily brushing and vacuuming up the excess fur will help keep your home free from pet hair. Regular baths can also help minimize the shedding.
The best dog food for Dachshunds depends on the individual dog's diet, lifestyle, and overall health. Since these dogs are prone to digestive issues and weight gain, a food with a higher quality protein-to-fat ratio is recommended, preferably with a low-carbohydrate formula. To ensure overall health, look for a food with key nutrients such as calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, glucosamine, and EPA/DHA. Avoid food with artificial flavors, dyes, and preservatives as well as corn, wheat, and soy.
Yes, Dachshunds have several specific needs that should be met in order to ensure their overall wellbeing. Chief among them is providing them with an appropriate amount of exercise. Overweight Dachshunds can suffer from an array of health issues, so regular daily walks and other forms of physical activity should be incorporated into their routine. Additionally, Dachshunds typically benefit from a lot of mental stimulation, such as providing them with enrichment activities or plenty of toys to play with.
Dachshunds are relatively small dogs, usually ranging in size from 8 to 9 inches for Miniature Dachshunds to 16-32 inches for Standard Dachshunds. The Miniature Dachshunds will typically weigh 8-11 pounds, while the Standard Dachshunds will weigh anything between 16-32 pounds. They typically measure 9-10 inches tall at the shoulder for Miniature breeds and 10-14 inches for Standard breeds.
Absolutely! Most Dachshunds are athletic and enjoy exercising with their owners. It's important to adapt a running routine to your Dachshund's age and health level. If you have a young pup, start by walking and gradually increase the distance and speed. It's also a great idea to check with your Veterinarian to make sure your pup is healthy enough to take on a running program. If you have an older Dachshund, consider consulting a Veterinarian about joint health supplements to help with any potential discomfort.
Dachshunds can be an excellent choice for first-time owners. These loyal, playful dogs are generally easy to train. Dachshunds are known for their outgoing, fun-loving personalities. They thrive on attention and make excellent companions. Plus, they don't require too much physical activity so a regular walk or two will be enough. These dogs are easy to groom and don't need intense exercising, so they can fit into small homes or apartments.
Training your Dachshund is a great way to ensure that you are providing your pet with the guidance and care they need. Begin by setting up a consistent routine with frequent potty breaks, meals at the same time each day, and a designated spot for chew toys. It is also important to ensure that your Dachshund is receiving positive reinforcement for good behaviour rather than punishment for bad behaviour. Try to break tasks into easy steps, using treat rewards when possible and show consistent praise for a job well done.
