Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small hound breed of dog that was originally bred to hunt badgers in Germany. Characterized primarily by their long bodies, short legs and floppy ears, Dachshunds are easily recognizable and can come in a range of colors and coat types. They also tend to have outgoing personalities and will generally live anywhere between 12 to 16 years when properly cared for. As a breed, Dachshunds are quite intelligent and incredibly loyal, though they can be a bit barky and stubborn when it comes to training.
Dachshunds are not known to be non-shedding dogs. While they may reduce shedding, they still require regular grooming and coat maintenance to help manage the amount of hair that ends up on your furniture. Some things that can be done to help reduce shedding is by regularly brushing and bathing your pup, and routinely having a professional groomer trimming the coat. Additionally, feeding your Dachshund a more nutrient-dense diet with quality ingredients is known to reduce shedding as well since their coats are a reflection of their nutrition.
The best dog food for a Dachshunds will vary depending on the individual dog's age, activity level, sensitivities, and other dietary needs. Generally speaking, a diet that is rich in quality proteins is beneficial, as are slow releasing carbohydrates and Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids. Opting for organic or natural ingredients when possible can also help maintain a nutritious and healthy diet. Additionally, it's suggested to keep an eye on the size/shape of kibble.
To prepare your home for a new Dachshund, make sure to puppy-proof the area. Remove small objects like paper clips, coins, and toys and clear away any wires or cords. Create an off-limits area in the house that you can close off while the puppy adjusts to their new home. Also, stock up on supplies like a crate, a collar and leash, food, and any treats that your pup may enjoy. Before the pup arrives, consider investing in a vacuum to help with the cleanup of any hair and accidents.
Yes, Dachshunds are considered small dogs. They typically weigh anywhere from 16 to 32 pounds. Dachshunds have short legs and elongated bodies, making them very low to the ground and easy to maneuver in small spaces. They usually have a double coat, with a hard outer coat and a soft, dense undercoat. Dachshunds have a lot of personality and energy, so even though they are small, they can be quite enthusiastic about activities like going for a walk or playing fetch.
The amount of time you should walk your Dachshund depends on their individual age, breed, size, weight, and activity level. Generally, it’s recommended that a Dachshund receive at least 30 minutes of activity per day. This activity can include walks, playtime, or downtime. Smaller breeds may need shorter walks depending on their age, but a minimum of 15 minutes of walking each day should be considered. Therefore, for optimal health it's best to aim for at least 30-45 minutes of daily activity for your Dachshund.
Dachshunds can make loving, loyal companions when properly trained and socialized. Most are great with children and provide hours of entertainment and companionship as long as they receive proper exercise and attention. They are patient and tolerant of children of all ages, and can usually be coaxed into playing dress-up or learning basic tricks. Training your Dachshund from a young age will help them become more accepting of children, ensuring that everyone in the home can enjoy each other’s company.
Training dachshunds is an important part of maintaining their health and well-being, so how much time one spends each day depends largely on the goals of the owner. On average, fifteen to twenty minutes of intentional training per day, with consistency, can help a dachshund learn basic commands, and measures such as having them perform a specific training routine each day can help them excel. Depending on the individual dog and their goals, owners may benefit from longer or more frequent training sessions so their pup can learn new behaviors or tricks quickly and easily.
