Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a breed of dog known for being small yet sturdy. They have long bodies, usually short-haired, and can come in a variety of colors. In terms of temperament, they are usually friendly and intelligent but can sometimes be willful. They often get along well with children and other pets. Dachshunds are generally brave and protective and are good watchdogs. They require daily exercise and should be socialized early on. They may bark a lot so proper training is essential.
The Dachshund has a unique and distinct short coat that comes in a variety of colors such as cream, tan, brown, black and silver gray. The coat is short, thick, and glossy, that protects the Dachshund from the cold and repels dirt. The personality of the Dachshund is reflected in the coat; they have a friendly and lively disposition that is showcased in the vibrant and glossy texture of their coat. They are low to the ground and therefore have a low center of gravity that protects them from bad weather.
Dachshunds should avoid food with a high fat content, especially in the form of oils and flavors as it can cause digestive problems. Additionally, they should never be fed chocolate, which can be toxic, nor products containing xylitol such as gum or baked goods, which can lead to liver failure. Similarly, rawhide, bones, and other types of hard chew treats are a choking hazard and should be avoided. Onions, garlic, grapes, and raisins are also toxic to dogs and should never be given as treats or snacks.
Before getting a Dachshund, it is essential to ensure that you have all the supplies needed to make both you and your pup feel comfortable. Some of the items you will need include a collar and identification tag, a sturdy leash, a comfortable bed, food and water bowls, puppy food, toys, a pet carrier, a nail clipper, a brush, and a toothbrush. You'll also need to be sure to stock up on heartworm and flea prevention medication, as well as any other medications prescribed by your veterinarian.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs according to classification standards. Generally classified as a toy or miniature breed, the Dachshund breed is considered to have a small body size and weighs an average of 16 to 32 pounds, making them one of the smaller breeds among lapdogs. Although small in size, they exemplify a bold and spunky attitude that is much more prevalent among larger breeds, often referred to as "big dog in a small package".
Dachshunds need exercise just like any other breed of dog, though the amount and type of activity should be tailored to the individual pup's abilities and age. Generally, these lively dogs need about an hour of daily exercise, divided into several periods throughout the day. While a good, long walk is ideal for getting exercise, Dachshunds can also be taken jogging, playing in the yard, or going to an off-leash dog park.
Dachshunds can be great with kids, depending on their training and the age of the children. With proper socialization, Dachshunds can become pleasant and loving family companions. However, due to their small size they can be fragile, and therefore extra caution should be taken when toddlers are involved. Moreover, their smaller size means that Dachshunds may require less exercise than other breeds, making them an ideal choice for urban living or families with busy lifestyles. Lastly, they’re intelligent dogs, so they can learn to obey basic commands if taught correctly.
Training a Dachshund requires consistency and patience, as they can be strong-willed dogs. It's important to start as early as possible to give yourself the best chance of success. Begin by teaching them commands like "sit", "stay", and "down". Start with short and simple sessions to introduce them to the new behavior. Use positive reinforcement, like treats and praise, to reward good behavior. Consistency is important, so it's best to stick to a routine and practice until they have it down.
