Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are known for their long, low-to-the-ground bodies and small legs. They can weigh anywhere between 11-32lbs and come in a variety of colors including: black and tan, red, cream, black, and tan, chocolate, blue and tan, and isabella and tan. Dachshunds are also considered one of the intelligent breeds and can be trained to do various tasks. They are also very loyal and even-tempered pets, making them wonderful companion animals.
Dachshunds are not non-shedding dogs. Some Dachshunds may shed less fur than others, although the shedding might be more subtle than with other breeds. Dachshunds have a double coat, with a thick, longer outer layer and a downy inner layer of fur. Although they usually don't shed as much as other double-coated breeds, they are still prone to seasonal shedding. To aid in controlling shedding, regular brushing with a de-shedding tool is recommended.
Dachshunds are known to have an appetite for high-quality food. While their diet may vary depending on their individual needs and preferences, they typically eat a combination of dry and wet food and should be given a balanced diet with proteins, carbohydrates, essential vitamins, minerals, and fats. Many pet owners also choose to supplement the diet with fresh fruits and vegetables. Treats should also be monitored and given in moderation. When considering what to feed a Dachshund, it is important to look for food that is specifically formulated for small breed dogs.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Dachshund requires a lot of dedication and commitment from you! Start by feeding your pup high-quality food to give them the proper nutrition and promoting a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise that is tailored to their breed, size, and age. Spend time playing with and training your pup every day; it's a great tool for strengthening the bond between you and your pup, while providing them with mental stimulation and positive reinforcement.
It is difficult to accurately predict how big your Dachshund puppy will be as an adult. Depending on a variety of factors such as their genes, eating habits, lifestyle, and exercise, Dachshunds will usually range in size from 8 to 32 pounds as adults. If you bring home a standard-size Dachshund puppy, they should reach their full-grown size at about 12 months of age. On the other hand, a miniature or ‘tweenie’ Dachshund will take around 16 months to reach their full-grown size.
Ideally, an adult Dachshund should get at least 30-60 minutes of exercise a day, depending on their age and health. An active breed like a Dachshund, however, should aim for the higher end of this time range. It's important to remember that exercise isn't limited to walking and can also include activities such as running, hiking, and playing fetch or Frisbee. Be sure to tailor your Dachshund's exercise routine to best suit their lifestyle and any health limitations they might have.
Absolutely, Dachshunds are excellent with kids! They are incredibly loyal and often form strong bonds with people, particularly young children. With their pleasant and gentle personality, Dachshunds are great playmates for kids, encouraging them to be outdoors and exploring. That said, they need to be treated kindly and supervised when playing, given their small size. Dachshunds also tend to bond strongly to a preferred individual, so making sure kids understand that it's important to give the dog space and respect is important for a successful relationship.
The amount of time you should spend training your Dachshunds each day will depend on several factors. The age and level of experience of your dog, for example, are important considerations when deciding on a training regimen. Generally speaking, a minimum of 15-20 minutes per day is recommended for young puppies, while adult Dachshunds will require about 30 minutes of training to maintain their skills. If you are planning to participate in activities such as agility or competitive obedience, more time may be necessary.
