Dachshunds

The Dachshund, fondly known as the "wiener dog," is a small but mighty hound breed that hails from Germany. With its distinctive long body and short legs, the Dachshund was originally bred for hunting badgers. Today, this lively breed is cherished for its versatility, available in two sizes—standard and sminiature—and three unique coat types: short-haired, long-haired, and wire-haired. Dachshunds are celebrated for their intelligence, courage, and playful nature, making them beloved companions around the world.

Breed Standards

Dachshunds are easily recognized by their elongated bodies, short legs, and sturdy build. The American Kennel Club (AKC) breed standard highlights their low-to-the-ground, long-bodied appearance, coupled with a confident and intelligent demeanor. Standards typically weigh between 16-32 pounds, while miniatures are under 11 pounds. Their movement should be smooth and fluid, supported by strong forequarters and a stable back.

Temperments

Dachshunds are known for their clever, spirited, and brave personalities. They’re full of energy and love to play, often surprising with their keen alertness and deep bark, which makes them excellent watchdogs despite their small size. Loyal to a fault, they form deep bonds with their owners but can also be a bit stubborn, so early and consistent training is key to bringing out their best behavior.

Health & Care

Due to their long backs, Dachshunds are prone to Intervertebral Disk Disease (IVDD). Keeping them at a healthy weight and ensuring regular exercise are essential to prevent back problems. Other health concerns include obesity, dental issues, and skin conditions. Regular veterinary check-ups and a balanced diet are crucial for their overall well-being. Exercise needs are moderate, and grooming requirements vary by coat type.

Size & Weight

Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature. Standards generally weigh between 16-32 pounds and stand 8-9 inches tall, while miniatures weigh up to 11 pounds and stand 5-6 inches tall. Monitoring their weight is important, as obesity can worsen health issues like IVDD.

Coats & Colors

Dachshunds boast three distinct coat types—smooth, long-haired, and wire-haired—each with its own grooming needs. Their coats come in a variety of colors and patterns, including red, black and tan, chocolate, and unique patterns like dapple and piebald. Smooth coats are low-maintenance, while long-haired Dachshunds require regular brushing to prevent tangles. Wire-haired coats benefit from occasional stripping to maintain their texture.

Corgis

Corgis, with their short legs, foxy faces, and cheerful personalities, are a beloved breed that originated in Wales. There are two main types: the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. Originally bred for herding cattle, these dogs have become popular family pets due to their friendly and outgoing nature. Intelligent and active, Corgis make excellent companions for those who can meet their exercise and training needs.

Breed Standards

Corgis are small yet sturdy dogs with a distinctive appearance. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi, the more popular of the two, is known for its docked tail, while the Cardigan sports a long tail. Both breeds have a weather-resistant double coat that comes in a variety of colors, including red, sable, fawn, and black and tan. According to breed standards, Corgis should have a low-set, strong build, standing about 10-12 inches tall and weighing between 24-30 pounds.

Temperments

Corgis are known for their friendly, outgoing, and intelligent nature. They thrive on social interaction and love being part of the family. With strong herding instincts, Corgis may sometimes nip at heels during play. Loyal and affectionate, they have a strong desire to please, making them relatively easy to train. However, their independent streak means consistent training and socialization are important to bring out their best.

Health & Care

Corgis are generally healthy dogs but can be prone to certain genetic conditions, such as hip dysplasia, intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), and degenerative myelopathy. Regular veterinary check-ups, a balanced diet, and maintaining a healthy weight are key to preventing these issues. Corgis need regular exercise to stay physically and mentally fit. Their double coat requires frequent grooming to manage shedding, especially during seasonal changes.

Size & Weight

Corgis are compact dogs, standing 10-12 inches tall and weighing between 24-30 pounds. Their manageable size makes them suitable for various living environments, but they do require sufficient exercise to prevent obesity, which can exacerbate health issues like IVDD.

Coats & Colors

Corgis boast a dense, double-layer coat that is both weather-resistant and beautiful. They come in several colors, including red, sable, fawn, and black and tan, often with striking white markings. Regular brushing helps manage shedding and keeps their coat healthy. Despite their thick coat, Corgis are relatively low-maintenance when it comes to grooming, requiring only weekly brushing and the occasional bath.
