Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are energetic, comical and intelligent dogs. A fun fact is that they were bred to hunt badgers! They have a double coat of short and long fur, which comes in many colors and patterns, making them quite stylish. The "sausage dog" has a curious, inquisitive nature and loves digging holes and playing hide-and-seek. Their long ears help capture scents, while their short legs make them great for cuddling. They are loyal to their humans and even adaptable to cats and other small furry animals.
Dachshunds boast a variety of coat types, ranging from smooth and short-haired, to long-haired and wire-haired. The smooth and especially the short-haired varieties typically have a glossy, straight coat that may appear wiry at times. This coat easily sheds dirt, and though it may be easy to groom, it’s best to brush them regularly. The long-haired variety has a coat that looks silky and is lanky which may hang down in ropelike strands.
Dachshunds, like all other dog breeds, should not be fed chocolate, as it can be toxic to their system. Additionally, onions and garlic can also be toxic, as well as grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, and yeast dough. Foods like these can not only be potentially poisonous, they can also cause digestive issues, and even seizures. It is best to provide them with healthy dog food specifically formulated for their size, age and activity level.
Becoming the best puppy parent you can be for your Dachshund starts with understanding their breed characteristics and applying that knowledge to the way you care for them. Start by doing research on their size, temperament, and health needs; socializing them; and providing them with a secure and loving home environment. Additionally, be sure that you feed them a healthy diet and provide them with adequate exercise and mental stimulation. Last but not least, regular vet visits for check-ups and vaccinations are essential for your pup's overall wellness.
This is a difficult question to answer as opinions may vary. Generally, Dachshunds are considered small dogs by breed standards, as they typically weigh 15 to 30 pounds and stand 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder. However, some individual Dachshunds can be larger or smaller than average. While they are not 'big' by breed standards, they still boast a sturdy build and spirited energy, characteristics which may make them appear larger than they are.
Yes, Dachshunds are an active breed of dog. They require a regular exercise routine to stay healthy and fit, both physically and mentally. They generally have a lot of energy and need plenty of activities to keep them occupied, such as short walks, playtime, or backyard exploring. With regular exercise Dachshunds can stay active and engaged throughout their lifespan. Some may even enjoy agility classes to let out their energy and develop their physical and mental strengths.
The answer is yes, Dachshunds can make excellent pets for first-time owners. They are a smart, loyal breed who can develop strong bonds with their human family. As long as you are prepared to provide ample mental and physical exercise, Dachshunds make great companions. They have a medium energy level, so you don’t have worry that they will be too difficult to manage. As long as you train them with consistency and love, they are sure to become a loyal and committed member of your family.
Training your Dachshund is an important part of ensuring they grow up to be a well-behaved and obedient dog. The key to successfully training a Dachshund is to start as early as possible, while they are young and still learning. Positive reinforcement and reward-based training works best, along with plenty of patience and consistency. Use treats and verbal praise to reinforce a desired behavior each time your Dachshund successfully completes the task. Start teaching basic commands such as 'sit' and 'stay', as well as introducing an obedience schedule that provides consistent training.
