Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small breed of hound that originated hundreds of years ago in Germany. They are known for their long, narrow bodies and short legs that allow them to be excellent hunters. These short-haired dogs come in a variety of colors and sizes, and their temperament ranges from alert and active to quiet and gentle. The Dachshund is both loyal and brave and can make a great companion pet for an active owner or family. They are known for their intelligence and personalities and tend to attach themselves to their owners.
Although some pet parents may find that their Dachshund sheds less than other breeds, the short answer is no, Dachshunds are not non-shedding. A number of factors can affect the amount of shedding a Dachshund has, from the climate where the dog is located to its diet, age, and overall health. Dachshunds can also shed differently throughout the year, as their coat may change or grow thicker during the colder months.
Dachshunds typically eat a range of high-quality dry dog food specifically made for the breed. Depending on their size, they may need 1/3 to 1 and 1/2 cups per day, split into two separate meals. It's important to feed a diet that reflects the Dachshund's distinctive body shape with a focus on healthy fats, vitamins, and proteins that help maintain their energy. Feeding them high-quality wet products should also be considered to keep them hydrated and provide additional nutrients.
Before bringing home your new Dachshund, there are a few things you should do to get your home ready. First, be sure to puppy proof your space; move dangerous and hazardous items up and out of the pup’s reach. Make sure your home is free from potential hazards as they can get into tight and/or small spaces. Second, be sure your home is stocked with the appropriate items for your pup.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: Standard (for adults weighing more than 16 lbs) and Miniature (for adults weighing 11 lbs or less). As a puppy, your Dachshund will begin to take on the shape and size of an adult in their first year of life. The Standard typically weighs between 16-32lbs whereas the Miniature will max out around 11lbs. As it matures, you’ll be able to predict its size more accurately.
Depending on your Dachshund's fitness level, it may be possible for you to take your Dachshund running. It is best to check with your veterinarian first to make sure that your Dachshund is up for the activity and can handle the exercise. You'll need to be mindful of your Dachshund's age and physical condition when considering running, as young puppies and senior dogs may not be able to keep up. You'll want to start out slowly with short walks and progress to longer runs.
Dachshunds can make wonderful companions for kids. They are known to be very loyal, friendly, and energetic; which makes them great playmates. They are also easy to train and can quickly become a child's best friend. They are of a small size, so they are suitable for apartment living and even play indoors. They tend to be adaptable to a lot of situations and are easy to take care of. Dachshunds are loyal and loving dogs that are great with children but, as with any dog, proper supervision should always be exercised when they interact with kids.
The amount of time it takes to train a Dachshund can vary depending on a few factors such as the dog's breed, age, and temperament. Generally, it is recommended that a Dachshund be given between 15 to 30 minutes of training every day in order to reinforce good behaviors and practices. This time can be spread out throughout the day, and can take the form of play, learning tricks, activities, and guidance. Additionally, socialization is essential in helping your Dachshund understand behavior expectations and communication cues, and should be included in the daily training.
