Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most recognizable and beloved dog breeds. They are often referred to as “sausage dogs” and are known for their long, low physique and mischievous behavior.
Dachshunds are not considered to be a non-shedding breed of dog. While they do have a short, smooth coat and usually shed less than other breeds, they still shed and need regular brushing and grooming. Some pet owners may find that their Dachshunds shed more heavily, such as during seasonal changes, requiring more frequent grooming. Ultimately, no dog is completely 'non-shedding' and any pet owner should be prepared for some shedding when it comes to Dachshunds.
Dachshunds should not be given any food that is high in fat, as it can lead to obesity or even worse, pancreatitis. Grapes, raisins and other fruits with pits should also be avoided as they can potentially cause poisoning or cause an intestinal obstruction. Chocolate should be avoided as it is toxic and can cause serious health issues. Additionally, they should not eat raw meat, onions, garlic, or mouldy/expired food. Avoid foods or snacks that are high in sugar as well as always provide plenty of clean water for your dachshund.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund is achievable with a bit of commitment and education. Start by doing your research. Learn about the breed's character traits to better understand your pup's needs. Consider enrolling your puppy in obedience classes to help with basic commands and to set certain boundaries. It's also important to consistently apply positive reinforcement techniques such as rewards or verbal praises when your dog listens and behaves. Make sure to give your pup plenty of exercises, such as walks or playtime in the backyard, to help with behavior issues.
Your Dachshund puppy's size typically depends on a variety of factors such as age, gender, and genetics. Generally, adult Dachshunds range in size from 8-11 inches with a weight of 8-16 pounds. However, your puppy could become larger or smaller than this depending on their individual characteristics. Their size should become more apparent over time as growth and development progress. Working with a licensed veterinarian can help determine if your puppy is growing according to normal parameters for their breed.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running, although caution is suggested because of the breed's unique physical characteristics. Depending on your running style, the long back of a Dachshund can put it at risk of disc injury, so it is recommended to keep the runs relatively short and slow. It is also suggested that you bring along a toy or treat to offer rewards and keep your Dachshund interested in running. Along with this, use a leash and harness to keep your Dachshund safe during the activity.
Dachshunds generally do get along with other pets. They are friendly and social dogs and tend to adapt well to the settings of other animals. They may take longer to adjust to some animals than others, such as cats, so it's important to introduce them properly and to supervise initial meetings. Dachshunds also require daily exercise, so having another pet around to provide companionship while they play can be beneficial. With proper introduction and supervision, a Dachshund should become comfortable around other animals and be able to live in harmony in the same house.
Yes, Dachshunds are highly intelligent dogs! Not only are they known for being loyal and loving companions, but Dachshunds also have quite impressive problem-solving skills. They are boisterous and outgoing personalities, which makes them good problem solvers and they often pick up on commands and training easily. Even more, they are known for finding tricky ways to get what they want, often outsmarting their owners! They are adept learners and can easily adapt to changing circumstances.
