Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a small, intelligent, and brave dog breed that comes in two varieties: short-haired and long-haired varieties. While often recognized for its distinctive low, elongated body, it can be tough to spot in the wild due to its short stature. Its thick, short legs and long body shape enable it to maneuver through tight spaces with ease, making it one of the most athletic small dog breeds. This breed is active, fun-loving, devoted and courageous, and it comes with a strong hunting instinct.
No, Dachshunds are not non-shedding. In fact, they are classified by the American Kennel Club as moderate shedders. That means you can expect to find hair around your home and on furniture. However, brushing your Dachshund on a regular basis can help to minimize the amount of shedding as it removes loose hair before it has a chance to get on your furniture and clothing. Additionally, consider using supplements and special diet choices to support healthy skin and coat.
Yes, Dachshunds have special dietary needs due to their unique body shape. Dachshunds are prone to developing obesity which can lead to serious health problems, so it's important to ensure that your pet is receiving the right nutrition. You should talk to your veterinarian to determine the appropriate food and portion size for your dog, as well as the frequency of meals. It's a good idea to provide your Dachshund with a high-fiber, low-fat diet that is balanced with protein sources including fish, poultry, and meat.
Before you welcome a Dachshund into your home, make sure you have the necessary essentials to keep your pup healthy and happy. Essential items you should purchase include a dog bed, leash, collar, toys, food/treats, identification tags, nail clippers, and a brush or comb. Depending on the size of your Dachshund, you may want to purchase a carrier to bring them to the vet or places where your pet is not allowed.
It is difficult to give an exact answer to this question since the final size varying can vary based on several factors like genetics, diet, and exercise. However, Dachshund puppies typically grow to be around 8 to 9 inches tall and will weigh about 11 to 16 pounds. Early socialization and obedience training are also essential to ensure that your puppy will grow up to be a well-mannered and well-behaved dog. Generally speaking, proper nutrition and exercise can go a long way in helping your Dachshund reach his or her full potential care.
While Dachshunds can be active dogs and like to move, it is not recommended to take them running or on long-distance runs. Their short little legs are not built for such activities; furthermore, Dachshunds are prone to back issues, and the jostling that comes with running could increase the likelihood of joint and/or spine injuries. However, they can still enjoy a brisk walk or even a jog—just keep it at a comfortable pace that your pup can keep up with.
Dachshunds tend to be very friendly with children, as long as the two are properly introduced and the dachshund is well socialized. Typically, Dachshunds are willing to share their love with kids and can provide a delightful companion for your youngsters. When introducing your Dachshund to a child, it is essential to supervise them and be aware of both their behaviors to ensure everyone is safe and comfortable. Since Dachshunds are small dogs, they can be fragile and children should be taught to be gentle with them.
Training Dachshunds is not a quick or easy process, and you may need to dedicate up to an hour per day to this activity. The exact amount of time it takes to train a Dachshund varies from dog to dog; some may learn quicker than others, or require shorter or longer training sessions. Generally speaking, you should begin with just five minutes per day and slowly increase the duration over time as your dog becomes more comfortable with the processes. Starting off slowly will give you the chance to better understand what works and what doesn't with your particular pup.
