Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a uniquely interesting breed of dog, known not only for their long, low bodies, but also for their tenacious personalities. As fearless hunters used to take on badgers and foxes, they still retain their chase-drive today, making them devoted and protective family dogs. They come in a variety of sizes, making them perfect for small city apartments, country homes, or anywhere in between. One of the most fascinating things about Dachshunds is their hypnotic eyes.
The Dachshund's coat is typically short, smooth, and sleek. Depending on the breed and type, the fur can range from longhaired, giving the pup a plumed and silky look, to wirehaired, providing a more rugged exterior with a slightly longer coat than the smooth coats. The colors of the coat can also significantly vary, from Red Short Hair, Chocolate and Cream Long Hair, Wild Boar, and even Salt and Pepper. No matter what the breed and variety, the coat is low maintenance for brushing and requires occasional trimming or stripping.
Dachshunds should never be given human food because it can be difficult for them to digest due to their short snouts. Onions, garlic, grapes, and raisins should also be avoided due to their toxicity levels. Anything with a small, hard texture such as nuts could also prove to be dangerous due to their ability to get stuck in a Dachshund's throat. It's also important to keep an eye out for foods that are high in fat or sugar, as consuming too much can lead to issues such as obesity or dental decay.
Dachshunds generally have somewhat unique requirements, when compared to other breeds. These little dogs are hearty and active, but with small legs, they are prone to back and spine issues. Thus, it is important to keep Dachshunds at a healthy weight to prevent any health complications from occurring. Additionally, due to their hunting and tracking background, Dachshunds can have a tendency to be a bit independent-minded and stubborn, so they require regular, consistent training. Exercise is also important for these dogs, since they are so active and like to explore.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend largely on whether it is a standard or miniature version. Standard Dachshunds usually weigh 16-32 lbs and may be 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder, while miniature Dachshunds weigh 11 lbs or less and are usually 5-6 inches tall at the shoulder. Depending on the age of your puppy, it will reach its full size when it is about a year old. It is important to remember that the size of a Dachshund puppy does not guarantee an adult size of the same proportion.
Dachshunds are definitely active dogs. They are natural diggers and hunters, and will often use this energy in the backyard if you set up a scavenger hunt or digging area for them to explore. They require daily exercise and love to go for long walks, play fetch, or spend time outside running and chasing. A well-exercised dachshund is a happy dachshund! But in addition to physical activity, you should also mentally stimulate them with puzzle toys or interactive dog games.
Absolutely! Dachshunds can make excellent family pets, and their relatively small size, intelligence, and loyalty make them a great choice for many types of households. Dachshunds are usually friendly and often enjoy spending time with their families, making them great companions. Their adaptability is a huge plus, as they can adjust to different family dynamics and situations with ease. Dachshunds are also relatively low maintenance and require minimal grooming. Plus, they're usually easy to train and teach basic commands.
Dachshunds are incredibly smart, loyal, and endearing dogs. They have long been valued for their intelligence, and their ability to quickly learn and remember commands. As a result, they often win at obedience competitions and make excellent therapy dogs. In addition, they are very brave and protective of their owners, often implementing clever tactics around predators or intruders. At the same time, they have a strong sense of their own individuality, often being quite resistant to strict instructions and commands.
