Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are exceptionally interesting animals with many unique qualities. They have a unique hunting heritage, bred to burrow into tunnels and burrows to hunt badgers and other animals. This has resulted in an incredible ability to dig, and remarkable stealth while hunting. They also have an independent streak, and can be stubborn and untrainable at times. Dachshunds are loyal companions and make great house pets, and they are especially good with children.
No, Dachshunds are not non-shedding dogs. Though they are considered low-maintenance dogs, they still shed. Dachshunds have a notable two-layer coat that is composed of a soft and thick undercoat along with longer guard hairs. This can cause them to shed, at least to some extent. To keep the shedding under control, regular brushing and grooming are recommended for this breed. In addition, routine baths with quality dog shampoo are also important to help keep shedding as minimal as possible.
Dachshunds typically eat dry dog food that is tailored to their size and age. Dry foods usually consist of high-quality proteins and fats to ensure proper health and nutrition for the breed. Wet/canned food can also be supplied as a part of the diet, typically in combination with dry food. Some owners choose to feed a diet based on home-cooked meals which can include lean meat, brown rice, and vegetables. Some vitamins and minerals may need to be added to keep the dog well-nourished.
Dachshunds have some specific needs that should be met to keep them happy and healthy. It is important to establish daily exercise routines for them as they are very outgoing and active. Additionally, they are a long-haired breed of dog and need to be groomed regularly to keep their coat healthy and attractive. Socialization is also an important requirement for Dachshunds as they are known to be stubborn and may become frightened or wary of unfamiliar people.
Though they are small in size, Dachshunds are not considered small dogs, rather medium sized. Generally speaking the average size of a Dachshund is 16-32lbs. While Dachshunds are not as large as other breeds of dogs, they are definitely not small. They have big personalities and big heartedness which make them generally bigger than their actual physical size. Furthermore, due to their long bodies and short legs, Dachshunds require a larger space than its actual body size would indicate.
Yes, you can take your Dachshund running. However, keep in mind that running puts extra strain on their backs so it is best to consider the age of your Dachshund before engaging in extended running. Running for short distances without inclines or stressful terrain may be ok with puppies or young adult Dachshunds. That being said, it is important to always monitor their breathing rate and behavior and stop immediately if they become tired or winded. Additionally, take water breaks to ensure your pet is properly hydrated.
Dachshunds can absolutely be great family dogs. They are loyal and loving pets that will form close bonds with their people. Dachshunds can be very playful and enjoy a good game of fetch. They are also generally quiet and not prone to excessive barking. Dachshunds are also famous for being both brave and tenacious, even with their smaller size. They can provide a good level of security as well as entertainment for an entire family. Dachshunds are usually very trainable and respond well to basic obedience training if provided with consistency.
Dachshunds are highly intelligent and often easily trained. Whether you are teaching them basic commands, housebreaking, or tricks, the key to success is patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. It can be helpful to subdivide exercises and tasks into smaller pieces, and to reward progress as often as possible. Start by rewarding your Dachshund for giving you attention, then work on teaching them obedience commands such as 'sit', 'stay', and 'come'. Once they've mastered those basics, you can teach them tricks like 'shake', 'roll over', and 'speak'.
