Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a loyal and friendly breed of dog originating from Germany. Being highly social animals, they make wonderful family pets and many owners even consider them to be a part of their family. In addition, Dachshunds are just as intelligent as any other breed so they can be easily trained. While they are usually low maintenance when it comes to grooming, they do need plenty of exercise and activity to keep them in tip top shape.
The coat of a Dachshund can vary depending on its breed. Generally, the breed will result in a velvety short coat, with a velvet-like feel, or a wirehaired coat. These coats are low-maintenance and can often be seen in a variety of colors such as brown, black, red, or even cream. Dachshunds are bred with a double coat to provide them with insulation. The topcoat is usually dense and rough, while the bottomcoat is softer and thicker. These coats help protect the dog from environmental elements like wind and rain.
Dachshunds are known for their love of food, which means that they can thrive on a wide variety of meals and snacks. The foundations of their diet should include a commercially prepared, balanced diet that is tailored to their size and activity level. Depending on their age, the amount of food needed per day can vary widely. Fresh meats, such as turkey, chicken, fish, and beef can also be incorporated. When it comes to carbohydrates, complex grains and cereals are a great choice.
To prepare your home for a new Dachshund, start by creating an area with adequate physical and mental stimulation. Place food and water bowls in an easily accessible area, and set up a spot for the dog to sleep that has enough room for him or her to spread out. It's also important to dog-proof your home, which includes putting away items like shoes, cords, and other breakable items that the dog may decide to chew.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on the type you've chosen. Generally, a standard-sized Dachshund will be between 8 and 9 inches tall and weigh anywhere from 16-32 pounds; a miniature Dachshund will be 5-6 inches tall and weigh 11 pounds or less. Toy Dachshunds can be as small as 4 inches tall and weigh no more than 9 pounds.
The amount of time you should spend walking your Dachshund each day depends on the age and health of your pet. Generally, young or healthy Dachshunds should aim for 15-20 minutes, but seniors or those with mobility issues should modify activity to their individual level of fitness. Overall, you should aim to get your pet walking at least 15 minutes per day to maintain good fitness levels and mental alertness. If you want to increase that time further, gentle walking, playing with toys, or carrying most of the exercise session can reach up to an hour per day.
Dachshunds typically get along well with other pets, including cats and dogs from other breeds, though some supervision may be necessary to ensure that the animals respect each other's boundaries and limits. Socializing your Dachshund from a young age and introducing them to other animals in a supervised, relaxed, and fun atmosphere will help them form healthy relationships with other pets. The key to a peaceful home is to ensure that all animals are treated with kindness and patience.
Training your Dachshund is an important part of your relationship with your pup and it can be fun and rewarding for both of you. The best way to train your Dachshund is to start with basic commands such as, sit, stay, come, heel, and down. Use positive reinforcement in the form of treats, verbal praise, or physical affection and keep the training sessions short and sweet since Dachshunds have a short attention span. It is also helpful to remain consistent with your commands and be consistent with the timing of rewards.
