Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are part of the Hound group of breeds. This class of breeds is generally known for their strong sense of smell, extreme loyalty and intelligence; all traits that can be expected in a Dachshund. For those looking for an ideal watchdog, this breed may be top of the list due to its natural instincts. Typically, Dachshunds come in three sizes: miniature, standard and kaninchen. These slinky pups are eager to please their owner and make great family companions.
Dachshunds are not non-shedding dogs, although they do produce less fur and dander than other breeds. Their coats tend to be smooth and sleek but, like most dogs, they do still shed. The amount of shedding that a Dachshund does varies depending on the individual. Generally though, they shed less than breeds that have a large undercoat and they rarely require brushing. In order to maintain a healthy coat for your Dachshund, a regular brushing is recommended every week or two.
Dachshunds, as with all dogs, need a balanced diet of protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. Depending on your individual dog's age, weight, and activity level, you should look for a commercial dog food with a label reading "Complete and Balanced" and feed according to the instructions. It may be beneficial to also incorporate some form of high quality canned food or rotational diet into their meal as well for a balanced diet. Treats should also be given in moderation as they can contribute to obesity-related health risks.
Preparing for a new Dachshund should include gathering the supplies you need, learning about its breed and individual needs, obtaining information on proper care and expected behavior, and exercising patience and consistent training. Before bringing your Dachshund home, make sure you have a well-ventilated crate with blankets, an appropriate food bowl and watering dish, chew toys, brushes, and a collar and tags for identification. Research and learn about the breed and typical characteristics, as well as how to handle behaviors like barking, digging, chewing, and marking.
Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard, which typically weighs between 16 and 32 pounds, and miniature, which usually goes up to 11 pounds. Generally, the standard is between 8 and 9 inches tall, while the miniature is 5-6 inches tall at the withers (highest point of the shoulders). The teacup size is the smallest of the three, reaching a maximum of around 3-4kg and 5 inches.
Dachshunds need regular exercise to stay physically and mentally healthy. Generally, they should be taken on a brisk, 20-minute walk at least once a day. The benefit of these daily walks is that they allow the Dachshund to stay active and alert. Additionally, giving your Dachshund mental stimulation and extra exercise can help to decrease behavioral problems. Playing fetch and hide-and-seek can also add to the fun of your daily walk.
Dachshunds can make for great pets for first-time owners! Known for being loyal, full of personality, and just downright adorable, these pups are easily adaptable and can take well to almost any environment. In addition, their size is perfect for smaller homes, particularly those owned by people who are just starting out. One important factor to consider when owning any dog, especially one like the Dachshund, is the potential medical costs. These dogs are prone to certain conditions that require extra care.
Dachshunds are intelligent and can be easily trained due to their loyalty and eagerness to please. While they may not be known as one of the smartest dog breeds, they actually have a great capacity for learning and problem-solving skills. Dachshunds are well-behaved and obedient and often used in activities such as search and rescue, as well as agility and tracking. They are also very curious and sociable, making them an excellent pet for families of all sizes. With the right training, they can become great family members.
