Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are lively, playful, and independent dogs that make great companions! They have been around since the 1600s in Germany and were bred to bark and flush out burrowing animals from their dens. They are a loyal breed of dogs and make good family pets, since they are good with children. They come in two sizes, standard and miniature, and two coat types, smooth and longhaired. They require minimal grooming but regular exercise since they are energetic and prone to gaining weight.
The coat of the Dachshund is unique to the breed, having two distinct forms. Their short-haired variety has a smooth, shiny coat, which can come in a wide variety of colors. The long-haired variety has a lush, soft coat that requires regular brushing and maintenance. In both types, the colors can range from solid red to chocolate-and-tan, and everything in between, though most will feature the Dachshund's classic black-and-tan pattern. A healthy coat should be without bumps, unless they are expected due to age or small injuries.
Dachshunds are omnivores, so they need a balanced diet of both plant-based and animal-based proteins. This could include dry dog food, wet food, lean proteins like boiled chicken or turkey, cooked vegetables, and small amounts of fruits and snacks. You should also make sure to look for food that is high in protein, low in fat, and specifically formulated for small breed dogs like Dachshunds. As with any pet, make sure to consult a veterinarian about the best dietary options for your particular pet.
Before getting a Dachshund, you should think about the necessary supplies such as food and water bowls, bedding, a collar and leash, brushes for grooming, small toys and dog treats, a quality canine-specific multivitamin, and heartworm prevention. You should also make sure to research any local animal hospitals, clinics, and vet centers in case your pup needs medical help. Additionally, it's also a good idea to look into training classes and private sessions with a certified obedience instructor to ensure your Dachshund is properly socialized.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on the breed you choose. Generally, miniature Dachshunds usually weigh around 8-11 lbs, while larger standard Dachshunds can reach a weight of 16-32 lbs. Of course, this will vary from puppy to puppy. If you have chosen a dapple or a smooth-coat puppy, they may either be larger or smaller than average. If you want to be certain of your puppy's size, it is important to purchase from a reputable breeder who can provide accurate information about the puppy's genetic background.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds are little Thoroughbreds who enjoy exposure to all sorts of activities, including swimming! They love getting outdoors to explore, and many enjoy taking a plunge in the water. Not all Dachshunds have a natural affinity for swimming though. It’s important to be aware that some may find water activities alarming or uncomfortable. In any case, if you’re considering diving into the pool with your pup, you’ll want to make sure you do it safely.
Dachshunds can generally get along quite well with other animals, such as cats, if they are properly introduced and given enough time to become familiar with each other. When introducing a Dachshund and another animal, it's important to take it slowly; letting each animal explore, sniff, and gradually become more comfortable with the other's presence, rather than being forced into an uncomfortable interaction. With this gradual introduction, most Dachshunds will learn to accept the other animal, and even form a close bond with it.
Dachshunds are highly intelligent dogs and have plenty of problem-solving skills that make them a delight to own. In recent studies, these qualities have been rated quite high, in fact close to that of many popular intelligent breeds such as Border Collies and Labrador Retrievers. Dachshunds have an independent yet active mind, and can learn quickly, especially when taught with care, patience, and consistency. They are also highly food motivated and therefore take positively to reward based teaching.
