Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are an incredibly interesting breed of dog; they have a unique history, personality traits, and characteristics. The dachshund breed is said to date back to the 15th century, originating in Germany as a hunter of badgers and other small mammals. They have short legs and elongated bodies, lending them a easy to recognize, unmistakable look. Adding to their charm, dachshunds have cheerful, spunky temperaments that make them beloved by many. They are loyal, possessive of their family, and highly trainable.
Although Dachshunds have short fur, they do not qualify as a completely non-shedding breed. While they do not shed excessively, it is important to understand that they will still shed regularly, especially during the shedding seasons. Additionally, it is especially important to brush and groom their fur regularly in order to reduce the amount of fur and dander that is left around the home. If you have sensitive allergies, it is important to note that Dachshunds are not considered a hypoallergenic breed.
Dachshunds should not be fed anything that is high in fat, such as bacon, sausage, or hamburger. Human foods that are too salty or sweet should also be avoided. Certain fruits such as grapes, cherries, and raisins should not be fed to dachshunds either since these can cause health issues. Dairy products such as cheese and ice cream should also be avoided as they contain too much fat that can be hard for a dachshund to digest.
Yes, Dachshunds do have some special requirements that make them quite unique. Generally, they require more exercise than the average breed, which means that they must be taken outside for long walks or runs several times a day. Because of their rather massive chest and leg muscles, they need a good amount of stretching and physical activity. Without the exercise, these muscles are likely to become rigid and deformed. Additionally, Dachshunds can be quite sensitive to a change in routines, so it's best to remain consistent with feeding and exercise times.
Dachshunds are typically between 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder. Their exact size depends on the breed and the sex of the dog, but generally, adult male Dachshunds grow to be about 16-18 inches in length and weigh in between 16-32 pounds, while adult females are slightly smaller at about 14-16 inches and 11-26 pounds. All Dachshunds, regardless of size, are longer than tall. Their long bodies and short legs make them ideal for digging and navigating tight spaces.
Dachshunds, like many other breeds, vary in how much they enjoy swimming. Some Dachshunds may revel in the water and enjoy taking a dip, while others may approach swimming with trepidation. It's important to take a cautious approach, as some dogs are more vulnerable to water-related issues than others. Before letting a Dachshund swim, observe him and gauge his comfort level around water. When entering the water, do so slowly and gently, and if the dog seems uncomfortable, take him out immediately.
Dachshunds can make excellent pets for first-time owners. They don't need much exercise, are good with children, and have a friendly, outgoing personality that can fit into a variety of homes and lifestyles. Still, they do have some notable traits that any prospective owners should be aware of. Dachshunds are naturally quite curious and can be prone to getting into trouble with their inquisitive nature. They are also known to bark quite a bit and may require further training or socializing to help them adjust to living indoors.
The amount of time you should spend on training your Dachshunds per day will depend on the individual dog, and your skill level as a trainer. Generally, the amount of time should be between 10-30 minutes per day once you have established a baseline of basic commands. However, if you're just starting out with training, it may be helpful to start with shorter sessions, such as 5-10 minutes per day or focusing on one command per session. As your dog's skills progress, you can add more commands and increase the length of sessions to up to 30 minutes per day.
