The Ultimate Dachshund Guide

About Dachshund

Dachshunds are spirited and adorable pups, famous for their long bodies and short legs, originally bred for hunting badgers.

Grooming

Grooming

Dachshunds are moderate shedders. Wire-haired Dachshunds shed the least. Brushing their coats once or twice a week is enough.

Origins

The Dachshund has its origin in Germany. Although the dog’s origins date as far back as the 15th century, the breed was fully developed in the 17th century.

The term “Dachshund” loosely translates to “badger dog” in German. The breed was so named because it was good at hunting badgers. Their short legs, massive chests, and flap-down ears made them suitable for this activity.

During the 17th century, the Dachshund was further developed into two sizes. The standard sized Dachshund, which continued hunting badgers and the miniature sized which were more skilled in pursuing hares and rats.

Key Characteristics Of Dachshunds

Are Dachshunds Family-Friendly?

Yes, they are great for families with older kids. They are loyal and fun-loving, but they can also be wilful and feisty.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Dachshunds may suffer from:

Intervertebral disc disease

Patella luxation

Hip dysplasia

Eye issues

Obesity

Nature / Temperament

These dogs pack a lot of personality into small bodies. Dachshunds are playful, attention-loving, smart, independent and bold.

Suitable Environment

Best suited for house or apartment living.

Other Considerations

  1. Dachshunds come in three main coat varieties: smooth, wire-haired and long-haired.
  2. Often, these dogs will have chocolate, red, dapple or black and tan colours.
  3. They are aloof to strangers and will likely bark at intruders.
  4. Dachshunds do better in warm climates. In winter many owners buy doggie sweaters.
  5. They can be somewhat difficult to housebreak, therefore crate training is recommended.

How can I take good care of my Dachshund?

Nutrition

One thing you’ll notice about Dachshunds is that they have no concept of feeling full. This makes them prone to overeating. Owners may need to watch their feeding habits. The daily intake is approximately ½ to 1 ½ cups of quality dog food.

Grooming

Grooming a Dachshund depends on the kind of coat they have. For the smooth and long-haired Dachshunds, a weekly brushing is enough.

Wire-haired dachshunds need a slightly different grooming approach. The dead hairs in their coats need to be removed at least twice every year.

Exercise

Dachshunds don’t need a lot of exercise. Two walks of reasonable distance – about 1 km per day – is generally enough. They are a long-lived dog breed that can live for more than 16 years with the right care.

Training

Although they are very smart, dachshunds are not easily trained. So while they can learn commands in a short amount of time, they will only do so when it suits them. But with the right motivation (treats), they are trainable.

The key features of these dogs are their long bodies and short legs. Character-wise, these dogs form strong bonds with their families. They are also playful and loyal.

Dachshunds thrive in families with older kids as they can handle them with care. But they are not always friendly to visiting children. They might switch to protective mode with strangers.
