Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a breed of hound that has a long body and short legs. The breed originated in Germany and was originally used to hunt smaller prey, such as badgers and rabbits. Today they are known for being pet dogs, and can typically be identified by their long sausage-shaped body and pointy ears. Dachshunds come in two varieties, standard and miniature, each of which have three coat types: smooth-haired, wire-haired, and long-haired.
Dachshunds are considered to be low-shedding dogs, but they are not completely non-shedding. Due to their short coat, they tend to lose a smaller amount of fur and dander than some dogs, however, they still do need to be groomed regularly. Although they may not shed as much, it is still important to brush their coat often in order to help keep the hair distributed evenly and remove the loose fur. Regular brushing can help minimize the amount of shedding, however it will not completely eliminate it.
Dachshunds do have their own unique dietary needs. Due to their small frame and long back, they require a diet that is based around lean proteins and low-fat carbohydrates, which can help keep them at a healthy weight. Additionally, with their fast metabolisms, Dachshunds require more frequent smaller meals during the day in order to maintain their energy levels. Vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids should also be supplemented to help keep their fluff looking its best and their overall health constant.
Before getting a Dachshund, you will need to be sure you have all of essential items to provide them with a safe and comfortable home. This includes a crate, collar and leash, food and water dishes, grooming supplies, bedding, toys, treats, and a comfy location for them to curl up and sleep. Additionally, it would be wise to make sure you have a first aid kit with massaging, heating, and cooling products as well as tweezers and styptic powder for any potential skin irritations and nails that need trimming.
Dachshunds come in two sizes standard and miniature. The standard will typically reach a height of 8 to 9 inches and weigh 16 to 32 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds are usually from 5 to 6 inches, and can weigh 11 pounds or less, depending on their specific breed. To get an idea of the size of your puppy, you can use a ruler or measuring tape to check the size of the litter when they are 10 to 12 weeks old and check to see the size and growth of their siblings.
Absolutely. While it may not be an activity that all Dachshunds naturally take to, it is possible to take your pooch running with proper training and precautions. Dachshunds, also known as sausage dogs, were bred to hunt small animals so they have a natural curiosity and endurance. With guidance and encouragement it is definitely achievable. Start with shorter distances and then work your way up slowly. Make sure that you have fitted your Dachshund with a secure harness and do not take them running during the hottest times of the day.
Generally, Dachshunds are known to get along well with other pets. Depending on the individual dog’s personality, Dachshunds can do well with small animals like cats and rabbits, as well as larger ones such as dogs. If properly socialized, Dachshunds can enjoy the company of all sorts of animals. As with all dogs, you should supervise the initial introduction, to ensure the animals get along and behave respectfully. It's important to socialize your dog so that they grow accustomed to the presence of other pets.
