Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are one of the most interesting and unique breeds in the world. Not only are they adorable with their short legs and long bodies, but they are highly intelligent and intuitive, have lots of energy and spirit, and their independent nature and alertness make them ideal watchdogs. They are also extremely loyal and devoted to their own families. They learn quickly to recognize people they are familiar with and will welcome them in a friendly, affectionate manner. They come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, making them a wonderful, unique choice for a family pet.
Dachshunds, also known as Wiener Dogs, are considered minimal-shedding dogs, meaning that these pups will only shed moderately throughout the year. While Dachshunds don't require the same level of grooming that a high-shedding breed might, brushing their coats twice a week should help reduce the amount of hair they'll leave around your home. Additionally, you'll want to make sure your Dachshund is provided with the necessary nutrients to ensure a healthy coat. Quality nutrition from a well-balanced diet is essential for minimizing shedding.
Dachshunds, like other breeds, are omnivores that need a balanced mix of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals for a healthy, fulfilling diet. Generally, dry kibble that's formulated to meet your pup's age, weight and health needs provides a great foundation—cat kibble for tiny breeds and puppy formulas for larger pups or those with special needs. Many commercial kibbles are supplemented with freeze-dried or frozen proteins, like salmon, liver, or poultry, that provide a variety of flavors and nutritional benefits.
To prepare for your new Dachshund, you should focus on making your home safe and dog-friendly. Make sure that foods and household items that are hazardous to dogs are safely stored away, and that any home cleaning products, medications, and other substances are out of reach. Consider creating a designated area for your pup containing all their essential supplies such as a food and water bowl, bed, and toys. Provide exercise options for your pup such as a dog park, a backyard, or a daily walk.
Dachshunds come in standard and miniature size varieties, which are also known as the 'dapple' and 'smooth coat' varieties. The standard size is the original breed and usually weighs in between 16 and 27 pounds, with a body that is longer than it is tall. The miniature size is slightly smaller, usually weighing in between 8 and 11 pounds. In terms of heights, both sizes sit anywhere between 8 and 9 inches at the shoulder, but a standard Dachshund will typically be longer in length and have slightly longer legs.
Yes, it is possible to take your Dachshund running. However, you will need to provide it with ample opportunities for rest because such a small breed of dog will become exhausted much more quickly than bigger dogs. Additionally, it is important to start your Dachshunds running routine slowly to give it an opportunity to get accustomed to the activity. Before going for a run, make sure to take your Dachshund for regular checkups at the vet to ensure it is healthy and fit for the task.
Yes, Dachshunds can make excellent pets for first-time owners, though it is important to note that they are relatively high-maintenance dogs. While they do not require strenuous exercise, Dachshund owners should be prepared to take their pup on daily walks and provide mental stimulation with toys and games. They can also be prone to barking and separation anxiety, so it's important to provide consistent structure and positive reinforcement training. Additionally, owners should be prepared to groom their pup regularly, as the wiry and long coats require a regular brushing.
Training your Dachshund can be a rewarding experience, however, like all breeds, it requires dedication, consistency, and patience to teach your pup the desired behaviors. First, decide which behaviors you wish to train and set achievable goals. Start with the basics, teaching simple commands like 'sit' and 'stay' can be relatively quick and easy, but importance tasks like housetraining and not jumping require consistent practice. Choose a method that will be most enjoyable for your pup, this may require learning more about which methods are best suited for your breed.
