Questions & Answers
A Dachshund is a specific breed of small hound or "sausage dog." They are known for being friendly and loyal and have become increasingly popular companions. They usually have short legs and elongated bodies making them compact and well-suited for hunting animals like badgers and hares. They come in a range of colors and have two distinct coat types wirehaired and smooth. Dachshunds have a playful attitude and tend to have big personalities.
No, Dachshunds are not considered a non-shedding breed. While they do have smooth and short coats, they still shed, though generally less than other breeds. Brushing regularly with a slicker brush can be beneficial since it will help to reduce the amount of shedding and remove any loose fur. Regularly bathing your dog can also help with shedding, as a clean coat is less likely to shed. In addition, the dietary supplement Omega 3 fatty acids can help to reduce shedding and help promote healthy skin.
Dachshunds are a loyal and loving breed of dog that enjoy a balanced diet. In general, Dachshunds should be fed a diet of high-quality dry kibble that is age-, size-, and activity-appropriate. A healthy diet should consist of quality proteins, healthy fats, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It's important that Dachshunds are also provided with regular and nutritious meals twice a day rather than a single large portion. As a treat, fresh fruits, vegetables, and small amounts of cooked, lean meats can be provided.
Prior to bringing your new Dachshund home, it's paramount to take the necessary steps to ensure their safety and comfort. Carefully evaluate your living space and do a thorough inspection for hazardous items such as small objects that can pose a choking hazard, remove cleaning chemicals, ensure there are no vines or plants that could be poisonous if ingested, and make sure there are no areas that your puppy might be able to escape out of. Additionally, block off any off-limit areas, such as rooms that have valuables, by closing doors or using baby gates.
The size of your Dachshund puppy will depend on the breed. Generally speaking, miniature Dachshunds will be around 5-6 pounds and can reach 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder. Standard Dachshunds are usually 11-32 pounds and 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder. Dachshunds come in different coat colors and sizes, so it's impossible to predict exactly how large your puppy will become. Most will reach their full adult size by 12 months of age.
The amount of time you should be walking your Dachshund each day can depend on their age and activity level. A general guideline is to aim for at least thirty minutes of exercise a day, preferably split into two shorter sessions. Younger and more active Dachshunds may require up to an hour's worth of walking per day. When taking your pup for walks, always ensure they have the opportunity to explore and sniff around as this is a great way to keep their minds active. It's also a good idea to make sure your walks are varied so your pup doesn't get bored.
Dachshunds can make great pets for first-time owners, provided the owner is aware of the breed's unique needs. With their playful personalities and energetic natures, Dachshunds can make terrific family companions. However, they can also be stubborn and require adequate exercise and training. As the owner of a Dachshund, it is important to establish yourself as the leader of the pack and properly train them. Understanding the breed's temperament and potential health issues is crucial for first-time owners, as is preparing for the workload they require.
There is no set answer to this because it depends on how much time you are able to commit to the training and the rate of progress you would like to see. Dachshunds are intelligent and relatively easy to train, so they do not require long sessions. A few minutes several times a day should suffice. Depending on the specific goals of the training and the dachshund's character, temperament, and aptitude, you could naturally need to dedicate more or less time.
