Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are full of fun facts that make them unique and lovable. For example, their short legs and long bodies have been bred to help them hunt badgers, but are now popular as family pets. Dachshunds were developed in Germany hundreds of years ago, but the name is based on the German word for 'badger', Dachs. They come in three coat varieties smooth, wire-haired and long-haired and the standard colour patterns are red, black and tan, as well as other piebald mixtures.
Dachshunds are not non-shedding dogs; they are considered to be a low-shedding breed. While they won't shed as much as other breed types, they will still lose fur throughout the year and it is important to regularly groom them to minimize the amount of fur shed. Regular brushing and regular trips to the groomer can help to ensure that the amount of shedding is kept to a minimum. In addition, you can purchase special shampoos and conditioners designed to keep your dachshund's fur healthy and limit the amount of shedding.
Dachshunds do have unique dietary needs that are different from other breeds. It is important to feed them the right food for their size and activity level so they maintain a healthy weight. When choosing a diet for your Dachshund, look for one that is rich in quality proteins and fats, has limited amounts of carbohydrates, and provides all the vitamins and minerals essential for your pup's health. Generally speaking, a balanced diet of high-quality dry and wet food, as well as some homemade meals, is essential to keep your Dachshund in optimum health.
Yes, Dachshunds do have certain special requirements. They are generally moderately active dogs, and daily exercise is important for their mental and physical wellbeing. Additionally, because of their long, thin backs, they shouldn't jump from high places, which can cause back injury. High-quality, nutritionally balanced food is also important in keeping your Dachshund in good health. Moreover, regular brushing and grooming are necessary to keep their coat healthy and free of tangles and mats.
Dachshunds are unique in that they come in miniature, standard, and kaninchen (rabbit) sizes. In terms of size, miniature dachshunds usually weigh around 11 pounds or less, standard sizes normally weigh 16-32 pounds, and kaninchen can weigh up to about 11 pounds. Generally, dachshunds are not considered big dogs; however, when compared to other small and medium sized breeds, their size can be considered above average.
Dachshunds need a moderate amount of exercise to remain healthy and happy. A daily walk of at least 20 minutes is a great starting point, allowing them to explore, strengthen their core muscles and provide for their natural curiosity. Some Dachshunds are more active and may need additional exercise such as jogging or agility training, while others may be more sedentary. Knowing your particular Dachshund's athleticism will help you determine the right amount of exercise and you can adjust based on your dog's energy levels.
Dachshunds can be an excellent choice for a family pet! They are active and loyal, and generally good-natured dogs that have relatively low grooming needs. Dachshunds can be very affectionate and entertaining, which makes them a perfect companion for families with children. They have a personality all their own and can be very attached to their 'pack', so they often make ideal family members.
Dachshunds require an adequate amount of exercise to remain healthy and happy. As such, it's recommended that you train your Dachshund for at least 20-30 minutes a day. Start off slowly and gradually increase the training duration as your pup progresses. Additional sessions, such as playing fetch or working on specific commands, can add to the minutes. However, keep in mind that these training sessions should never be more than 1 hour long, as the end result can be too exhausting for the pup.
