Dachshunds are also called pig badger dogs. It is a kind of hound specially used to catch wild animals in narrow holes. Because of its short limbs, the whole body is like a sausage, so it is named dachshund. Produced in Germany, 1840 Germany established the first dachshund music department. At first, dachshunds were short-haired, and later long-haired and bristly breeds were cultivated. 1850 dachshund was introduced to Britain. At the beginning of this century, the British began to cultivate a miniature dachshund for enjoyment, which was successful, and a small dachshund club was established in 1935. Dachshunds are divided into three types: short hair, long hair and bristle (hard hair) according to their body height and size.

Body height: the standard type is about 35 cm, and the small size should not exceed 20 cm; Weight: the standard type does not exceed 1 1kg, and the small type does not exceed 5kg. The litter size is 2-8, with an average of 4.

Coat: The coat of short-haired dachshund is smooth, close-fitting and dense, and the color can be any color except white, but it is often mottled between two colors, and there should be no white spots on the chest. The long-haired coat is silky, satin-like, smooth and slightly wavy. Bristle coat is thick, dense and close-fitting.

Appearance: the head is long, tapering towards the nose, wedge-shaped, and the eyes are oval and yellowish brown. The roots of the ears are close to the top of the head, and the ears are wide and drooping. The neck is long and muscular. The trunk is long and muscular, and the back and waist are horizontal. The forelimbs are short, the forearm bones are slightly bent inward, and the hind limbs are muscular, stout and slightly open. The chest is deep, the front sternum is prominent and broad, the waist is slightly arched and the waist is wide. The tail root is high, strong and powerful, and the tail tip is tapered without obvious bending.

Features: rich expression, energetic, although short limbs, but agile and funny. The sense of smell is very sensitive. Whether as a hound or a companion dog, it is becoming more and more popular and has been introduced to China.

Feeding method

Because dachshunds are independent by nature, it is easy to take care of them, and the instructions given by their owners will be quickly understood and obeyed, but sometimes they insist on the orders given by their owners because they are too opinionated, so proper communication is the best way to get along with dachshunds.

Dachshund is an optimistic animal by nature, so it won't be very troublesome in eating habits, but it is a kind of dog that is prone to obesity. If you are not careful, you will get too fat, so you should be especially careful to let it eat quantitatively. As for the amount of exercise, a lively dachshund is absolutely enough.

If we want to talk about special care, we may pay attention to the cleaning of those long ears and the spinal diseases caused by long bodies.

In fact, for lazy or busy owners, dachshund is a very suitable breed for breeding, because it is independent, does not need to be accompanied all day long, lively and coquettish, plus healthy and not easy to get sick, and its body shape is moderate. It is really a good and intimate companion in urban life!

Avoiding overweight dachshunds, jumping up and down, climbing stairs and other causes of spinal compression can avoid or delay the onset of disc herniation.

Dog training method

Patience and affection

When the puppy has just been brought home to make face-to-face contact with his family for the first time, don't start training rashly. At the beginning, as long as you caress the dog more, establish affection with the dog and strengthen communication with the dog.

Train early.

Generally, puppies 2-3 months after birth are the most suitable age for training. Dogs have been living an instinctive life since they were born. For about 20 days, they just stay with their mothers to nurse, sleep and play. It was not until a month later that they became curious about their surroundings. After 2-3 months, they have developed considerable wisdom and started to be independent.

After missing the opportunity

Since any kind of training needs to be carried out in order to succeed, patiently teach it reasonable behavior, and don't let the dog develop bad habits before it realizes that the situation is serious, and then think about major things to rectify and turn the tide, which will not only make the owner feel great hardship, but also double the pain for the dog.

Training methods are discussed with the whole family.

Training can use language and code words (gestures or body movements) and various ways. The key point is that when the dog is decided to start training, the whole family must carry it out in a unified way, such as "come", "come" and "bring it over", which can all be used as mandatory instructions, but dogs often need some time to remember, so feeding is mainly patient when teaching.

Consistent training methods

When teaching dogs daily training such as eating, walking and going to the toilet, the whole family should work together, and at the same time, the attitude of the whole family should be the same. Don't let that person be particularly spoiled or particularly cold. The earlier the communication between people and dogs, the better and more stable the dog's trust in its owner will be.

When you say "come" and "sit down" to a dog, you should adopt a high command tone, because even a dog with a strong understanding will occasionally resist. If you use the command tone at this time, the dog will have reflective obedience and shorten its hesitation time.

Practice repeatedly every day.

1. Don't teach other actions until you fully remember one thing.

2. It must be repeated daily.

3. Don't scold or punish a dog because of its poor memory.
