Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, short-legged dog of the hound family. Its distinctive shape and long body is often considered its most unique attribute. A Dachshund is typically feisty and full of energy, providing an amusing addition to any home. The breed is thought to have originated in Germany where it was bred to flush out badgers from their burrows, although they are kept as loyal companions today. Its tail, when curled and touches its back, is also a sign of its loyalty as many legends say it can see into its owner's soul.
Generally, Dachshunds are considered a low-shedding breed compared to others. However, they do still have some shedding, so while they may not shed as much as a dog with a thicker or longer coat, you should still expect to see some fur around the house. Brushing and grooming your Dachshund regularly can help reduce their shedding and minimize the amount of fur in your home.
Dachshunds are known as one of the most delightful, devoted and loyal canine companions. When it comes to diet, a Dachshund can eat a variety of foods. They generally enjoy a diet that consists of high-quality dry kibble that is specifically formulated for small breed dogs. It should include real meat, healthy carbohydrates, fats and nutrients that they need to stay fit and healthy. Additionally, Dachshunds can eat treats such as small pieces of cooked chicken, liver, raw vegetables and fruit.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund takes dedication and commitment. The first step is to learn about the breed's characteristics, temperament, and needs. Take time to prepare your home for a puppy, including making sure your family is all onboard with the commitment. Spend ample time socializing and training your new puppy so they can be comfortable around other people and animals and understand your expectations for behavior. This includes providing your pup with scheduled, daily opportunities for both physical and mental activity.
Dachshunds can vary in size, depending on the specific breed, and can range from small to large. Generally speaking, however, the breed is considered to be small to medium size; they usually weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and stand from 8 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder. That being said, even though they may be one of the larger small breed dogs, they're still considered one of the toy breeds due to their size.
Generally, Dachshunds have a strong propensity for loving water and enjoy playing in it. However, some may not necessarily like swimming due to their size and body shape, as they have short legs and long bodies, making it difficult for them to stay afloat. Moreover, many Dachshunds have a thick coat of fur, providing an extra layer of insulation that could further impede their swimming ability. Some Dachshunds have overcome this obstacle with proper training and supervision, while many have succeeded in becoming excellent swimmers.
Dachshunds can usually get along well with kids, as long as proper training, handling and socialization is established. Generally, Dachshunds are loyal, loving and affectionate towards kids and they tend to form very strong bonds making them protective of their beloved family members. However, it is important to establish rules on how to interact with the Dachshund, as these little dogs can sometimes be quite stubborn and uncomfortable when overly pestered.
Training your Dachshund can be a very rewarding experience and a great way to strengthen the bond between you and your dog. First, it is important to give your pup positive reinforcement; rewards and praise will help motivate them and reinforce good behaviors. Consistency is key when training, so stick to the same commands and routines. Short sessions, no more than 10-15 minutes, are best and keep your pup focused. You can also use puzzle toys and games to teach them problem solving and obedience. Always keep training challenges appropriate for their age and abilities.
