Questions & Answers
Dachshunds boast an array of unique traits that make them an interesting breed! Though small in stature, they have much larger personalities. Their temperaments are loyal and loving, making them wonderful companions. Dachshunds are also natural hunters--they were originally bred to track, chase, and flush out badger, foxes, and other small animals. When outside, they always have a good eye and excellent sniffing power! Furthermore, Dachshunds are also incredibly rare.
While there are some dogs identified as non-shedding, unfortunately, Dachshunds are not one of them. With their long, single-layer coats, these pups may appear to not shed but brushing regularly is important to manage their hair and prevent your home from feeling overwhelmed. Dachshunds are considered moderate to heavy shedders, and their long coats require regular bathing and brushing for them to look their best and get rid of extra hair.
Dachshunds require a diet of high-quality, nutrient-rich food tailored to their activity level, age, and size in order to stay healthy. It is important to feed your Dachshund food that contains the required vitamins and minerals, as well as the right amount of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, to ensure their proper growth and development. When selecting a food for your Dachshund, look for one that is labeled with words like complete, balanced, or nutritional. You should also ensure the food contains at least 20% protein and 10% fat.
Before getting a Dachshund, there are several essential items you should consider purchasing. A secure, and comfortable collar and leash is a must. You'll also want to get a few toys, and chews for your dog to engage in interactive playtime and also for when you must leave the house. A good quality food dish and water bowl are also essential, and puppy pads for training. Upholstery and carpet cleaners are essential for when your pet has an accident. You'll also want to get a pet bed, and groom your Dachshund on a constant basis.
No, Dachshunds are not considered big dogs. These dogs are much smaller than other breeds, weighing only 16-32 pounds with a body length of 8-9 inches tall at the shoulder. They come in both standard and miniature sizes. Dachshunds tend to have short legs, long bodies, and a deep chest. These characteristics combined with their short coat generate a square-like silhouette. As they are small dogs, Dachshunds may not be the best choice for families with younger children or those that are overly active, as they can become easily overwhelmed.
Dachshunds can enjoy swimming if they are introduced to the water in a safe and gentle manner. Many do not have a strong affinity to the water, so some may be uncomfortable or even reluctant to dive in. However, with patience, support, and proper training some Dachshunds do develop a love for swimming. Swimming is an excellent way to allow them to exercise safely while also providing an interesting and entertaining activity. It is important to not pressure or urge them into the water, but to allow them to take their time acclimating to the environment.
Yes, Dachshunds can make good family pets and are often quite good with kids. While they can be wary of unfamiliar people, when they know and trust their family, Dachshunds generally have a peaceful and pleasant temperament around children. As with any pet, be sure to teach your children how to treat and approach them gently. Spend some time introducing your Dachshund to children, so they can get used to one another.
Training a Dachshund requires some patience and dedication, but can be quite simple overall. It's especially helpful to keep in mind that Dachshunds are sensitive dogs and respond better to positive reinforcement. By giving them lots of love, praise, and rewards like treats when they obey instructions, you'll be able to build trust with your pup and create a bond between the two of you. Being consistent with instructions is also important and will help your Dachshund retain the training.
