Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dog that is part of the hound class. They are recognizable by their short legs and long body, giving them a unique look that sets them apart from other hounds. Dachshunds are known for their spunky and outgoing personalities as well as their goofy facial expressions. Their short legs and long bodies also make them great at digging, making them a perfect choice for families looking for a pet to join outdoor activities.
Dachshunds have a very distinct coat that makes them easily recognizable. Their coat is generally short and silky, but can come in a long-haired variety as well. The color of the fur on a Dachshund can vary from red to black, brown, tan, and even blue, to name a few. Dachshunds have a double coat, with a dense undercoat and a shorter topcoat for protection from the elements. The long-haired Dachshund's topcoat is longer and thicker, reaching up to a few inches on their back.
A Dachshund should be fed a balanced diet that consists of lean, high-quality protein as well as essential vitamins and minerals. A diet specifically designed for small-breed dogs is best and can provide your Dachshund with the energy they need over the course of their lifetime. It is recommended to feed your pup twice a day, and to provide fresh clean water at all times. As Dachshunds are prone to obesity, it is important to measure their portion sizes accordingly and to not overfeed them.
Preparing your home for your new Dachshund is an important step in getting off to a good start with your pup. Make sure to puppy-proof your home by removing any items that may pose a potential choking or digestive hazard, such as small items, wires, or other chewables. Set up areas for your pup to explore and provide interesting toys to keep them entertained. Consider getting a secure fence or baby gate to limit their access to certain rooms or to keep them in particular parts of the house, like a gated off area or their own room.
Dachshunds typically come in two sizes standard and miniature. Standard Dachshunds typically weigh 16-32 pounds, while miniature Dachshunds range from 11 to 16 pounds and frequently range from 8 to 11 inches in height at the shoulder. Toy Dachshunds may weigh up to 12 pounds and can be as small as 6 inches in height. All Dachshunds have short legs and long bodies, though the size may vary due to the breeding practices for each individual size.
While that answer may vary depending on your Dachshund’s size, breed, age, and health, it’s generally recommended that you take your Dachshund out for a walk at least twice a day for 15 to 30 minutes each. Not only will this help keep your canine companion happy and healthy, but it also gives them an opportunity to explore and expend any extra energy. Depending on your Dachshund’s energy levels and the environment they live in, they may need more or less minutes of exercise each day.
Dachshunds usually get along well with other pets in the household, as long as they are properly socialized and trained. Dachshunds are quite curious and social dogs, meaning they often seek companionship from other pets. However, it is important to note that all animals will eventually be territorial. This means that if multiple pets are in the same household, it is important to consider each animal's individual personalities and behaviour when deciding if that household is right for them.
Training a Dachshund is not particularly difficult, provided that you are willing to make the investment in time and energy. Dachshunds are very intelligent, making them ideal for instruction. Begin by investing in training materials and advice; look for books, websites, and classes that are specific to this breed. When you are ready to begin basic training, keep sessions short and positive. Be consistent with commands, rewards, and even corrections; anything you do should be straightforward and consistent. Positive reinforcements can include treats and praise when the dog does something you would like him to repeat.
