Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique class of dog, known as a "sausage dog". They are part of the hound group of breeds that use their noses and sharp sense of scent to track game and prey. With their long, slender bodies, signature short legs, and long noses, they have an iconic silhouette that's instantly recognizable. Dachshunds typically have friendly temperaments and make great family pets, but they can be stubborn and may require a little extra training and patience.
Dachshunds are not considered non-shedding dogs. While the breed does have short hair, you may still find some shedding occurring over the course of your pet's life. Dachshunds tend to shed lightly all year long, but may have more shedding during the spring and fall months when the length of daylight is changing. Grooming your pet regularly and removing mats and tangles will help to reduce the amount of shedding. Regularly brushing your Dachshund will also help to keep her coat looking healthy and reduce the amount she sheds.
Dachshunds typically enjoy a high quality dry kibble diet because it provides essential nutrients and helps to support their long, cylindrical bodies. It is important to select a food that is specially formulated for small breeds, as it will contain the correct balance of protein, fat, carbohydrates, and other minerals. It is also helpful to feed a diet that is grain-free or limited in grains, as some Dachshunds can have sensitivities to certain grains. Wet canned food is also a safe and nutritious option and can be offered as a supplement to dry kibble.
Preparing for your new Dachshund is essential. Start by ensuring you have the right supplies, such as food and water bowls, a collar and leash, and dog toys, to give your Dachshund the best life possible. Be sure to research what types of food to feed them as different breeds may have different dietary needs. You will also want to create a safe and comfortable space for your Dachshund by providing them with a crate or dog bed to relax in.
Dachshunds are certainly not considered big dogs, as they generally range from 8-9 inches in height and 16-32 pounds in weight. Though they are longer than they are tall, they still can provide big personalities in a compact size. With their extroverted nature and loyal demeanor, Dachshunds are considered to be one of the most popular breeds of small-sized dogs. And while they may be small in stature, with enough love and attention they will give you plenty of affection in return.
Taking your Dachshund running is definitely possible, although there are a few factors to consider. Firstly, dachshunds are a type of dog which need relatively low levels of activity, and they are not usually ideal for long runs. Secondly, you also need to consider how temperature is likely to affect your pet; dachshunds are short-haired and don't have adequate insulation when in hot and cold weather.
Dachshunds can be good with children if they are well-socialized and properly trained. With their playful and affectionate nature, these loyal and spirited canines are usually delighted by the presence of kids. When spending time together, kids should be well-supervised and taught how to interact respectfully with the pet. Dachshunds should be gradually exposed to the hustle and bustle of a busy home and their intelligence makes them receptive to training. With consistent behavior and obedience, Dachshunds are ideal family pets and can be wonderful additions to family life.
The amount of time you need to spend training a Dachshund varies on a pup's level of experience and mental aptitude. Generally speaking, around 30 minutes per day of focused training, such as obedience commands, is normally recommended. This includes breaking down one task into shorter increments which can be repeated multiple times throughout the day. However, training should be fun for both you and your pup, so consider mixing up the activities, like playing hide and seek or introducing new toys, to maintain their attention.
