Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are playful and unique little dogs that make wonderful pets. They are easily recognizable by their long bodies, short legs, and those signature floppy ears. Did you know that despite their small size, Dachshunds are actually classified as hounds? They were bred to hunt badgers in Europe hundreds of years ago and their size allowed them to enter and maneuver through small crevices. In German, their name means “badger dog.” Dachshunds are also quite clever, ranking among the most intelligent of all dog breeds.
Dachshunds are not considered non-shedding breeds. Though they do have a short to medium length coat that doesn't tend to be overly thick or thickly matted and depending on the environment, they may shed minimally, on the whole they are a breed that sheds. Providing adequate nutrition and grooming can help control the amount of shedding some, but the overall opinion from veterinarians and canine experts is that Dachshunds are not considered non-shedding dogs.
Dachshunds should not be fed table scraps, fried or processed foods, raw meat, sweets, or alcohol, as these can cause health problems. Additionally, certain human foods like onions, grapes, and garlic can be toxic and should not be given to them. Avoid giving your dachshund large amounts of fatty treats, as they have a tendency to gain weight if not exercised enough.
Dachshunds require a moderate amount of maintenance and care since they are a determined and willful breed. They do need quality nutrition, regular exercise, healthy mental stimulation, and proper grooming. Dachshunds also require strong leadership and clear boundaries in order to prevent them from becoming overly bossy or aggressive. It's important to keep their nails trimmed and clean their ears regularly, since they are prone to ear infections. Additionally, Dachshunds often need assistance with difficult steps due to their long backbone and short legs.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. They belong to the toy breed group, meaning these dogs have a shoulder height of between 12 and 16 inches and can weigh from 16 to 32 pounds. You'll often find them in apartments, as their size and minimal barking behaviors make them great housemates, even in smaller spaces. They can adapt to most climates, but need a lot of mental and physical stimulation to keep out of trouble. Their long bodies make them great for digging and chasing small game, and their adorable personalities make them ideal pets for families with kids.
It is recommended that Dachshunds get at least two sessions of exercise each day totaling an hour of activity. Walking your Dachshund each day is an excellent way to ensure your pup is receiving enough exercise. A healthy and fit Dachshund should be walked for approximately 30 minutes each day, split into two 15-minute outings. This exercise helps to develop muscle mass and reduce fat stores, while providing mental stimulation. It's also important to make sure your walks are varied and fun.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds can be great with children if they are properly socialized and trained from a young age. However, since they are a small-sized breed with long spines, these dogs, can easily become defensive when it comes to small kids. Therefore, Dachshunds may require extra supervision and attention when around children. Generally, the key is to be patient and friendly to help build their trust level with children. Additionally, the right training and discipline, which includes positive reinforcement, will help create a safe environment for both the dog and the kids.
Dachshunds are generally considered to be intelligent and highly trainable. They frequently demonstrate above-average problem-solving capabilities and seem to have a knack for remembering instructions. They excel at activities that require agility and speed, and are often referred to as 'clever dogs'. Despite a sometimes stubborn streak, they respond positively to consistent, patient training and are very loyal pets. Dachshunds have also been known to excel in canine performance competitions and have become famous for their showmanship.
