Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are small, cute, and playful pooches that can bring a lot of joy and companionship to your home. They are easily identifiable for their long body and short legs and affectionately known as "Sausage Dogs". In addition to being active, loving mammals, Dachshunds can make wonderful watchdogs, and their feistiness and tenacity have earned them the nickname of "Teckel". They are intelligent, alert, and loyal and do best when they have an active outdoor life and receive regular exercise.
Generally speaking, the Dachshund coat is a smooth layer of fur composed of short, sleek hair with a manageable level of shedding. Most Dachshunds have a single-layer coat, but some feature a double coat. The double-coated Dachshunds are generally harder to groom, exhibiting coarse, thick fur with twice the shedding. Coat colors for Dachshunds come in black, gray, brown, white, and cream variations due to merle dilution.
Yes, Dachshunds have some special dietary needs due to their digestive physiology. As small-breed dogs, their digestive systems are more sensitive which requires careful selection of foods and feeding amounts. Since they can be prone to obesity, it's important to provide a well-balanced, low-calorie diet. They also need to have plenty of lean proteins and healthy fats from sources like fish, eggs, and chicken. Additionally, it's important to provide a diet with adequate fibers to aid in digestion, as well as ample amounts of vitamins and minerals to ensure a healthy immune system.
Yes, Dachshunds do have some special requirements that should be considered by prospective owners. These special needs stem from their small size and the fact that they are a deep-chested breed. It is important to make sure Dachshunds get enough exercise and not overexert them. They can be prone to back problems, so they should not jump from heights or be allowed to run about too energetically.
Dachshunds are considered small-sized breed dogs, but the size of each puppy varies depending on its parents. On average, a Dachshund puppy will grow to be between eight and twelve inches at the shoulder when fully grown. They typically weigh between 11 and 18 pounds when fully grown, making them a nice size to care for. With proper care and nutrition, your Dachshund puppy will grow to a full adult size in the next 12 to 14 months.
Dachshunds, like many other breeds, are capable of swimming but it isn't something that all of them inherently enjoy. Most of them do not have a natural affinity for the water and, as with any other activity, swim training should be conducted in a careful and positive manner. Dachshunds have an average-length body and short legs, which can make it quite difficult for them to stay afloat while swimming.
Generally, Dachshunds can make wonderful family companions, and they can usually be quite tolerant when around children. However, as with all breeds, the personality of an individual dog will vary, so it's important to introduce youngsters to any new pet slowly and under supervision. To ensure a harmonious relationship between children and a Dachshund, it's important that the dog has been properly trained and socialized, as well as for kids to be respectful, gentle and understanding so that no unintentional harm is done.
Training a Dachshund can be relatively easy, depending on the individual dog. Generally, these dogs are intelligent and eager to please, making them relatively easy to train. Nonetheless, like any breed, they do need to be taught the right way to behave. While a Dachshund may inherently have a good temperament, it is important to give them time and attention during the training process so that they are well-socialised and respond to commands when out and about.
