Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are undeniably one of the most fascinating breeds of dogs. With their long and low-set body, they are often described as having a big personality in a small package! Among the breeds that are traditionally known for having stubbornness and independence, Dachshunds stand out for their loyalty. Despite their nap-loving, cuddle-happy demeanor, they possess an athletic and protective side that is rarely seen in other dog breeds.
Dachshunds are not non-shedding dogs. All breeds of dogs shed to some degree, and Dachshunds are no different. On average, a Dachshund sheds more than other short-haired breeds such as the Chihuahua or the Pug. While regular brushing and a balanced diet will help manage shedding, it is not uncommon for a Dachshund to shed fairly frequently throughout the year. To minimize the risk of your home becoming covered in hair, daily brushing is recommended.
Feeding your Dachshund should depend on its age and activity levels. If your Dachshund is young or pregnant, it may need nutrient-dense, high calorie meals; but for an adult or less active Dachshund, low-calories and balanced nutrition are optimal. Generally, foods that contain high-quality proteins, complex carbohydrates, and a variety of vegetables, are ideal. Look for foods that are low in fat and sodium and if grains are present, they should be whole grains such as oats and brown rice.
Firstly, it is important to create a safe environment for your new Dachshund. Make sure that all electrical cords, pieces of furniture, or other hazardous objects are out of reach to prevent your pup from getting injured or hurt. Next, consider purchasing a comfortable and secure bedding for your Dachshund that can fit into their crate. This will act as their ‘den’ giving them a sense of security and comfort. Additionally, invest in a reliable leash and collar so that you can bring your pooch out for walks.
Dachshunds are typically considered to be small-to-medium-sized dogs. They weigh between 16 and 32 pounds and typically stand 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder, so they are small enough to be considered a companion-sized breed. While they can be a bit active and robust, they tend to have a bigger-than-life personality to match their small size. While not considered a 'big dog', they are definitely larger than most of the toy breeds and can still make great family dogs.
Dachshunds are an active breed and need at least an hour of exercise daily to stay healthy and fit. If the Dachshund cannot spend this time outdoors, they should be engaged in activities that will help them to stay agile. Playing fetch or a game of tug-of-war can provide a great opportunity for exercise. Going for walks and taking part in agility classes are also great ways to keep your Dachshund physically active.
Generally speaking, Dachshunds get along very well with other pets, especially if they are socialized correctly from an early age. Proper socialization is key to ensure that dogs of any breed, including Dachshunds, can be comfortable and compatible when living with different species. With the right guidance and training, Dachshunds can form positive relationships with cats, other dogs, and even small mammals such as guinea pigs.
Dachshunds are recognized for their intelligence and loyal companionship, in addition to their signature long and low body structure. While different levels of smartness may exist among individual canines, most breeds are known as smart dogs. Dachshunds are no exception, as they have been trained to perform tasks and tricks, recognize and respond to their owners’ commands, and can regularly engage in problem-solving activities.
