Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are adorable, friendly, and loyal dogs that make great pets. They have long and slender bodies with short legs and floppy ears. They are usually very active dogs with plenty of energy and enthusiasm for playtime. Dachshunds come in a variety of colors and are known to be great watchdogs. They do well with other household pets and are very expressive with their owners. Dachshunds need to be groomed regularly and they should be exercised regularly in order to stay healthy.
Dachshunds are not known to be a non-shedding breed. While they may not shed as much as other breeds, some shedding should be expected from your dachshund over the course of a year. When compared to breeds with a high-shedding coat, dachshunds will shed less fur. If you are looking for a low-shedding breed, however, Dachshunds are not a good option.
Dachshunds benefit from a balanced diet that is specifically tailored to meet the breed’s nutritional needs. A good quality kibble is recommended for the majority of their meals, supplemented with occasional “treats” like fresh fruit and vegetables, or small pieces of cooked lean meat. Protein-rich foods are especially beneficial for these lively, active dogs and these can be supplemented with a mix of carbohydrates and healthy fats. It’s important to avoid overfeeding, as being overweight can worsen the back problems these loyal canines are prone to.
Prepare for your new Dachshund by researching their typical behaviors, needs and any associated breed-specific health conditions. Gather the necessary supplies in advance, such as pet food, treats, toys, bedding, a collar, a leash, and some wipes for when they have accidents. Learn about the proper training techniques prior to their arrival and dedicate some time every day to interaction. Also create a safe environment for them to explore both inside and outside, with dog-proofed areas and fences. Lastly, make sure you have access to a trusted veterinarian that can provide the necessary care.
Dachshunds are available in three size variations: standard, miniature and kaninchen (which means "rabbit" in German). Standard dachshunds stand 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder and typically weigh between 16-32 pounds. Miniature dachshunds stand 5-6 inches tall at the shoulder and generally weigh 11 pounds or less. Kaninchen dachshunds are the smallest kind and are sometimes called "teacup" or "tweenie" dachshunds.
It is important to make sure your Dachshund gets enough exercise each day; however, the specific amount depends on the age, health, and activity level of your pet. Generally speaking, it is recommended to allot at least 30 minutes per day for a healthy adult Dachshund to go on a walk. If possible, it is best to go for two 15-minute walks daily, or in shorter intervals throughout the day. Puppies may require less time daily, but should have at least two to three moderately-paced walks to stay both mentally and physically stimulated.
Yes, Dachshunds usually get along well with other types of pets, provided they are properly socialized from a young age and given plenty of obedience training. They are loyal, affectionate dogs and enjoy the company of humans and other animals. They are intelligent and can be taught to follow basic commands. With the right training and socialization, Dachshunds are generally friendly towards other pets, though as with any breed, it is important to supervise interactions between animals and introduce new animals gradually.
It depends on the individual Dachshund. Every dog is different and may require different amounts of exercise. Generally speaking, Dachshunds should have at least 30 minutes per day of activity. This could be achieved through a variety of activities such as running, training exercises, leisurely walks, and games specifically designed for their breed. It is important to remember that a Dachshund’s activity should be tailored to meet their individual needs and abilities. If your pup seems tired after 10 minutes, then take a break and you can do more a bit later.
