Question 13

What is a Dachshund?

Accepted Answer

Dachshunds are scent hound dogs bred to hunt badgers and other tunneling animals, rabbits, and foxes. Hunters even used packs of Dachshunds to trail wild boar. Today their versatility makes them excellent family companions, show dogs, and small-game hunters.
However, you may know them by one of their many nicknames, including Wiener Dog, Sausage Dog, Doxie, and more. If you’re looking a little pooch who will keep you on your toes and shower you with love, this may be the breed for you. Opt to adopt if you can!
Dachshunds (pronounced DAKS hund  —  never dash-hound) come in three varieties: smooth (shorthaired), wirehaired and longhaired. In the United States, Dachshunds are either miniature (11 pounds and under as an adult) or standard (usually between 16 and 32 pounds as an adult). If your Dachshund weighs between 11 and 16 pounds, he’s called a tweenie.

Question 14

Why do Dachshunds burrow under blankets?

Accepted Answer

Dachshunds are known to be “denning” characters by nature. This means they like to feel safe when they sleep and being under a blanket is like being in a “den” which provides them with the sort of protection they like to have when they are napping.

Question 15

Do Dachshunds shed a lot?

Accepted Answer

Dachshunds whether they have wirehair, longhair or shorthair coats shed continuously throughout the year although wirehairs shed slightly less. Like other breeds, they also shed the most during the spring and the autumn when more frequently grooming is necessary to stay on top of things and to prevent hair being left all over the house.

Question 16

Do Dachshunds make good family pets?

Accepted Answer

Dachshunds generally make wonderful pets, but there have been reports of some dogs being aggressive towards people they don’t know and towards other dogs. They are loyal and affectionate towards their families and even though small in stature, Dachshunds make wonderful watchdogs. They are also good around well-behaved children who respect them. It is worth noting that some breed enthusiasts believe that different types of Dachshunds show different personalities.

Question 17

What’s the life span of a dachshund?

Accepted Answer

Being small dogs, Dachshunds can live anything from 12 to 13 years if they are well cared for and fed an appropriate diet to suit the different stages of their lives. However, it’s really important not to let Dachshund puppies jump up on furniture or go up and down stairs or get in and out of cars on their own because it puts too much pressure on their growing joints and their spines which could lead to a Dachshund suffering from serious health issues later in their lives
