Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a type of small hound-dog breed that originated in Germany. They are known for their short legs, long backs, and distinct bark. They come in a variety of different colors and coat patterns, and are typically 6 to 9 inches tall at the shoulder. Dachshunds are very social, gentle, and loyal companions who enjoy spending time with their owners. They are energetic dogs, so they need plenty of exercise and opportunities to explore. They can live up to 16 years with proper feeding, health care, and exercise.
The coat of a Dachshund is usually short and smooth with an undercoat. They come in a variety of colors from black and tan, to red and cream. Depending on the type of coat they come with, some can require quite a lot of maintenance and brushing due to the dense nature of their fur. While the short-haired Dachshunds take less effort to groom, their long-haired counterparts need more work to keep their coat looking soft and sleek. They also shed depending how frequently you brush them and can take a lot of time to groom especially as they age.
Dachshunds are a small breed, so it's important to be mindful of the amount and type of food that is fed to them. Owners should not feed their Dachshunds anything that contains grains, as most of these have high levels of fat and sugar. Owners should also avoid feeding their Dachshunds foods that are high in fat such as bacon, sausage, and fatty cuts of red meat. Dachshunds should also not eat raw, undercooked, or spoiled foods.
Becoming a great puppy parent for your Dachshund starts with understanding the breed's needs. Dachshunds are intelligent, playful, and can be stubborn at times. Make sure that your pup has plenty of exercise both physical and mental to stay healthy and entertained. Spend time training, socializing, and bonding with your pup. When disciplining your pup, do so in a gentle and understanding manner. Provide a balanced diet tailored to your pup's needs and make sure they have plenty of fresh, clean, water at all times.
Dachshunds, sometimes referred to as "wiener dogs," are typically thought of as small-sized breeds however their size can vary. As a breed, they are known to be short and low to the ground, but Dachshunds also come in a variety of sizes, ranging from miniature to standard. So, it can depend on the individual Dachshund as to whether or not they are considered a big dog with the answers varying from person to person.
Dachshunds may not be as fond of swimming as other breeds, but if given the right kind of training and encouragement they can learn to enjoy the activity. Many owners report that although their Dachshund may not naturally choose to take a dip in the pool, they remain calm and relaxed when submerged. With the proper training and positive reinforcement techniques, owners can help their pup develop a comfortable and safe relationship with the water and long-term enthusiasm for swimming.
Dachshunds, in general, are a friendly and loyal breed that generally get along well with children, provided they have early socialisation and proper training. If Dachshunds have been given lots of love and attention as puppies, it is likely that they will be more trusting of children when they are older. If the dog is properly exposed to children during the early stages of its life, it is more likely to develop positive associations with them and act suitably around them.
Training your Dachshund is an important part of having a great pet companion. The key to successful training is consistency and reward-based reinforcement. To start, focus on teaching your Dachshund simple commands such as 'sit', 'down', and 'stay'. Treats should be used to reward good behavior, while providing corrections for any undesired behaviors. If your Dachshund becomes unresponsive, take a step back before continuing. As their training develops, try transitioning into short and frequent training sessions that involve stimulating activities and games.
