Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a loyal, friendly, and alert breed of dog. They are an iconic breed known for their short legs, elongated body, and pointy snout. They were originally bred to hunt badgers but have since been adapted into an excellent family pet. The usual lifespan of a dachshund is between 12 and 15 years, with proper care and diet. Dachshunds should receive regular physical exercise as well as mental stimulation to remain healthy. They are typically good with other pets when raised together from a young age.
Dachshunds have a unique coat that is composed of a combination of long and short hair. They have a double coat with a dense undercoat and a rough outercoat that helps protect them from cold and weather elements. Their coat can range from silky smooth to rough and wiry. Their fur color can be wide-ranging from solid black, tan, cream or piebald. Their coat can also be wire-haired adding texture and personality to their look. They usually get their full coat at about 1 year of age with shedding twice a year.
Yes, Dachshunds have some dietary needs that should be thought about carefully. While most of their nutrition needs can be met with quality dry and wet food, they also need foods that contain healthy fats. Omega-3 fatty acids can help keep their coats healthy and their joints functioning properly, so owners should look for foods that contain sources of these oils like salmon, white fish, or anchovies. Additionally, some Dachshunds can react to certain proteins, so it's important to read the labels carefully and watch for signs of a food sensitivity.
Before getting a Dachshund, you should purchase several essentials to ensure your pup is safe, comfortable, and happy in your home. It's important to have a collar, harness, and leash to keep your pup safe while outdoors. Additionally, you should buy toys to keep them entertained and chews such as rawhides or bones to keep their gums stimulated. You'll also need a bed, which can be either a small crate or a comfortable dog bed. Furthermore, it's beneficial to have grooming supplies like a brush, shampoo, nail clippers, and a toothbrush.
Absolutely! Dachshunds are generally classified as small or toy breeds. They range in size, from miniature dachshunds measuring in between 6 and 10 inches in height, to the Standard Dachshund, which typically stands around 12 inches. Owing to their smaller size, Dachshunds thrive in a more confined living arrangement than larger breeds, making them a perfect companion for those living with limited space. These furry friends make for wonderful, loyal companions and are known to bond deeply with their owners. Plus, their adorable size makes them the perfect lap companion!
Dachshunds can enjoy swimming, but it is important to note that they do not naturally have a strong swimming instinct. These dogs were bred in Germany for hunting rodents and fowl, so they did not experience much water. Dachshunds can learn to love the water with proper exposure and training, but they should always be supervised during swim sessions. It is recommended to start with shallow-water and eventually work into deeper depths. Using swim toys or treats can be beneficial to motivate them to stay in the water.
Dachshunds are generally friendly and playful, and can make wonderful pets for families with children. While every dog, and every breeder, is different, Dachshunds are typically loyal and gentle with their owners and tend to bond well with young kids. With proper socialization and training, these short-legged pups can be a great addition to families. They can be protective of their owners, and may bark at strangers, but can be taught to be polite.
Training a Dachshund can certainly be easy for some people, and much harder for others. It ultimately depends on the individual's own comfort level working with dogs, and the time and effort they are able to devote to consistent and proper training. Dachshunds are incredibly intelligent and eager to please, so most owners find them to be relatively easy to train when done properly. It's important to understand that, like any breed, Dachshunds do require patience, commitment, and consistency in order to be successfully trained; this is true regardless of the breed of the dog.
