Questions & Answers
Dachshunds belong to the Hound Group in the AKC Dog Breeds Category. This classification of dog is known for its excellent sense of smell, which may have been acquired by hunting smaller animals in their wilder days. They usually have deep, loud barks and have a relatively long body shape, with short legs. Despite their size, Dachshunds are great watchdogs and have an exceptional reputation for being brave and feisty. Some of the common coat colors associated with this breed are Red, Tan, Black and Tan, Chocolate and Cream.
Dachshunds are considered low-shedding dogs. However, some long-haired Dachshunds can shed more frequently and require more regular grooming than their short-haired counterparts. While Dachshunds may not shed as much as other breeds, they do still shed a moderate amount. Brushing your Dachshund at least a few times a week and bathing them regularly will help to reduce the amount of shedding from your pet.
Dachshunds are considered to be medium-sized dogs and, as such, they mostly require a diet of meat and grains. Providing them with the right balance of food is the key to their health and nutrition. Dachshunds should receive a diet of quality, high-protein and high-fat foods, including lean meats such as beef, chicken, fish, and eggs. A good quality, nutritionally balanced dry dog food provides them with the nutrients they need to stay healthy.
Dachshunds are unique, independent dogs that require some extra special attention and care. While some breeds may require a large yard or certain dietary guidelines, Dachshunds have their own set of requirements that largely focus on physical activity and mental stimulation. Dachshunds are known for being stubborn and determined, which can be great traits but also require more of their owners in order enable them to be socialized and well-adjusted. They need lots of exercise and an owner willing to provide leadership and consistent rules.
Dachshunds typically range from 8 to 9 inches in height at the shoulder. Average weight range is usually between 16-32 pounds. Their body length can typically range between 10 to 13 inches. Although ear length can vary, most Dachshunds have long ears that almost reach the tip of their nose. Some Dachshunds might be larger or smaller then average, depending on the particular breed or mix. Generally, Standard Dachshunds are larger than Miniature Dachshunds.
Yes, Dachshunds are quite active dogs. They love exercise and need plenty of it to stay active, alert, and healthy. For these spunky pups, daily walks, playtime, running in the yard, and taking part in fun activities like agility training are great ways to keep them in shape. Dachshunds live to please their owners, and they thrive when they receive regular physical and mental stimulation.
Yes, Dachshunds can be great with kids, as long as they are properly socialized. When given the appropriate amount of training and guidance, Dachshunds can easily become loyal and loving companions for kids of all ages. Dachshunds are friendly, outgoing and playful, making them ideal family dogs as long as they get ample exercise and are kept safe from harm. As with any breed, Dachshunds that are raised around children will be more likely to accept and appreciate them as part of the family.
Dachshunds are intelligent, loyal companions and excellent hunters. To ensure proper and successful training of your Dachshund, consistency is key. Start by teaching basic commands like 'sit', 'stay', and 'come'. If your Dachshund is still a puppy, you can start as early as possible, using positive reinforcement. Offer your Dachshund a reward, such as a treat, every time they display the desired behavior that you are teaching.
