Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are often referred to as 'wiener dogs' or 'sausage dogs' due to their long bodies and short legs. Even though they can be a bit unpredictable, Dachshunds usually make wonderful pets. One of the most interesting facts about them is that they can be trained to hunt. They have an excellent sense of smell that makes them great at tracking down small animals and they are tenacious to boot. Additionally, this breed is often loyal to its family and thrive in a social environment, making them incredibly popular.
Dachshunds have a unique coat with short hair that is sleek and glossy. They do not have an undercoat, their coats are typically single-layered. Their color patterns include various shades of red, brown, black, and tan, although they can come in other colors as well. Their coats usually need to be brushed one to two times a week. Their coats are waterproof and can withstand cooler climates but they are more prone to sunburn than other breeds of dogs.
Dachshunds are generally omnivorous, which means they'll enjoy a variety of foods, from meat-based dishes to plant-based fare. A balanced diet for a Dachshund should contain high-quality, commercial dry food designed for adult dogs, supplemented with fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. From time to time, you can also offer cooked eggs, yogurt, or cheese as treats. Any homemade food items should be completely free from onions, artificial chemicals, and sugar substituting foods.
To become the best puppy parent for your Dachshund, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, it's important to be patient with your pup as they learn and adjust to their new home; be sure to create a predictable schedule that includes time for training and playing. Second, Dachshunds are natural scavengers, so providing plenty of chew toys and edible treats can help reduce the temptation to chew on inappropriate items.
The eventual size of your Dachshund puppy can vary significantly depending on their breed. Generally, Dachshunds are considered small dogs and can grow to anywhere between 8 to 11 inches tall and 8 and 32 pounds in weight. It is possible for a Dachshund to weigh more or less than the average range based on their genetics, nutrition, and activity levels. You may notice that your puppy grows quickly at the beginning and then their growth rate will slow down as they near adulthood.
Dachshunds have been known to enjoy swimming, and some may look forward to taking a dip in the pool. While most Dachshunds likely won't ever jump right in, ones that become familiar with water can develop a pleasure of swimming and playing in it. The breed can be taught to swim with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement training. There are even some specially-designed lifejackets that can help make the swim safer for Dachshunds.
Dachshunds, otherwise known as "sausage dogs" due to their long, cylindrical shape, are usually friendly and outgoing dogs who usually get along with pets of all kinds. While their small size can make them prone to feeling threatened or intimidated by larger animals, when given the right introductions and the proper care, they can become valuable members of any family. With proper socialization and patience, most of these loving canines can learn to be comfortable around other breeds and even cats or birds, making them an ideal addition to any multi-pet household.
The amount of time necessary to train a Dachshund on a daily basis will vary depending on the age of the dog and the type of training you are looking to provide. If you are just looking for basic obedience commands, you can expect to spend about 15 to 20 minutes a day. If your goal is to compete in any type of activities you will need to set aside more time, likely somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes a day. When just starting out with training, your Dachshund will need additional time and patience to learn.
