Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are known for their unique looks and playful personalities. They have roots as far back as the 15th century when they were bred by German foresters to hunt badgers. The term Dachshund, literally translates to “badger dog” in German. Dachshunds became popular in the United States in the late 1800s. The breed consists of two varieties, the standard size and miniature. They have a strong natural instinct to dig, an affinity for small animals, and a unique bark and yodel.
Dachshunds do shed, and the frequency of shedding varies among individuals. While there is no such thing as a non-shedding breed, Dachshunds are considered lowto moderate-shedders. They have a short, dense coat that requires regular brushing to minimize shedding. Hair rarely gathers in the corners of the house as it might with a long-haired breed. That said, a small amount of shed hair should be expected among all breeds.
Dachshunds are often considered to be a hardy breed, meaning they can tolerate most diets. It is important to find a diet that meets the needs of your individual Dachshund. Generally speaking, Dachshunds do best when fed a high-quality, grain-free kibble supplemented with wet food. The kibble should be formulated for small breeds and contain wholesome ingredients such as fresh meat, vegetables and fruit, and vital nutrients.
Before getting a Dachshund, there are some essential items you should buy. A collar and leash for daily walks, a dog bed for your pup to rest, high-quality food and treats specifically for small breeds, and a few items to keep your Dachshund entertained, like chew toys. Grooming supplies, such as a brush, shampoo, and nail clippers are also important for regular hygiene. You should also stock up on waste bags for cleaning up after your pup.
While Dachshunds may not be as large as other breeds, they can still be considered big dogs depending on the context. They typically weigh 16 to 32 pounds and can be up to 9 inches tall. Generally, Dachshunds are classified as medium-sized dogs, but compared to a Chihuahua, they're relatively larger. When taking this into consideration, Dachshunds could definitely be classified as big dogs. They're also known for being quite strong for their size, so their larger stature can be deceiving.
Dachshunds are an active breed. They need a moderate amount of exercise to stay healthy and happy. To ensure their optimal health, they should receive at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, preferably split up between two or three walks. In addition, Dachshunds should have access to an enclosed, safe space where they can run and play freely. Providing toys specifically made for Dachshunds can also help them burn extra energy and provide mental stimulation.
Yes, Dachshunds can make wonderful family companions, especially when it comes to children. These small, loyal, and brave dogs are likely to form deep and strong bonds with people. Dachshunds are often enthusiastic about interacting with children and have an uncanny ability to sense emotions. They will often greet a child with an abundance of enthusiasm and bring much joy and laughter to any household. Despite a Dachshund's strength and domineering personality, they usually have a gentle temper and tolerant attitude which is frequently tested without aggression.
Training a Dachshund can be a bit of a challenge, due to their small size and independent personality. But if you’re patient, consistent, and use treats or other rewards, you will have success. First, start with teaching basic commands such as “sit”, “come”, “stay”, and “heel”. Since positive reinforcement works best for Dachshunds, be sure they get rewarded with treats or verbal praise for learning these behaviors.
