Dachshund

Brief history

This dog breed originated from Germany and back then they were referred to as the badger dog. In essence, the ‘Dachs’ in Dachshund stands for badger while the ‘hund’ means dog. This dog breed can be traced to the 15th century and they came in different sizes. 

However, in the 18th and 19th centuries ‘Teckel’ as called in Germany was refined and elongated. The purpose of this was to create a dog that could fit into the burrows of a badger and lure him out or kill him. 

A lot of years went into this development and in the 1800s people started keeping Dachshunds as pets rather than hunting dogs. 

Temperament

This dog breed is clever no doubt. It has a fearless trait as part of its hunting heritage, it is courageous, driven and can display traits of stubbornness. Dachshunds of this generation can be as cute and cuddly with their owners as they’re allowed to be. 

This dog breed is very entertaining especially when it chases its tail. However, with the diversity in the color of the coat, the personality of the dachshund differs. The wirehead breed has the terrier in its lineage which could be the source of its mischief. 

The longhairs are calmer than the Smooths which have a mix in personality. Dachshunds are naturally bold and fearless hence when getting a puppy, neglect any that displays timidity.

Environment

This petite dog can thrive in an apartment setting. However, they have a low tolerance for cold weather as their fur is thin, but they can handle the heat. Any loving environment where the dachshund will have a good amount of exercise or walks is fine with this breed. 

They’re very sensitive breeds and love pleasing its owners. This dog breed is known to develop better in an environment with kids around as they’re very kid-friendly. 

Exercise

This dog breed has an average need for exercise. They can be very playful especially around kids and their exercise needs are fair. Any exercise the dachshund partakes in needs to be of average intensity to avoid fatigue. 

They are natural hunters, hence they have a great potential for wanderlust and they will follow trails till they probably get missing. In essence, in terms of exercise, walks in the park, playing fetch or testing his perseverance could be great for the dog. 

When dachshunds get bored or are left unattended for hours at a stretch, they can eat and destroy anything within their reach.

Grooming

Maintaining this dog breed costs little to nothing. Yes, they do shed but no, not often and not in abundance. Their fur is short and shiny hence it requires regular brushing to keep their appearance. Bathing dachshunds should be done ceremoniously or when they reek of something. 

This breed doesn’t have the accompanying doggie smell and their oral hygiene is important as brushing should be done thrice weekly. When winter approaches, your dachshund will need a sweater when outdoors as they don’t do so well when exposed to cold. 

One important factor to note is that Dachshunds are also groomed based on their type. 

Our Dachshund puppies for sale come from either USDA licensed commercial breeders or hobby breeders with no more than 5 breeding mothers. USDA licensed commercial breeders account for less than 20% of all breeders in the country. 

The unregulated breeders who are selling outside of the USDA regulations and without a license are what we consider to be “Puppy Mills.” We are committed to offering Dachshund puppies who will grow up to become important members of your family. We only purchase puppies from the very best sources, and we stand behind every puppy we sell.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dachshunds come in a whole rainbow of colors! You’ll see classics like black and tan, red, and chocolate, plus dreamy shades like cream, blue, and even wild boar (yep, that’s a real color!). They love to show off fun patterns too, like dapple, brindle, piebald, and sable. No matter the coat—smooth, long-haired, or wire-haired—these little pups know how to turn heads in every shade!

On average, these lovable little hot dogs live 12 to 16 years, and with lots of love, regular vet visits, and a healthy lifestyle, some even go beyond that. Just be ready for over a decade of snuggles, zoomies, and that signature Dachshund sass!

They may look like lap dogs, but they actually belong to the Hound Group! Originally bred to hunt badgers, these little long-bodied legends have serious tracking skills and a fearless attitude. Don’t let the short legs fool you—there’s a determined little hunter in that cute package!

Small in size but mighty in spirit, these long-bodied pups come in two sizes. Standard varieties usually weigh between 16 and 32 pounds, while miniature versions stay around 11 pounds or less.

Training these little characters can be a fun adventure! While they’re super smart and quick to learn, their independent (and sometimes stubborn) streak means they like to do things their way. With a little patience, lots of praise, and some tasty treats, you’ll have a well-trained Dachshund who thinks they trained you!

Let’s just say their prey drive is off the charts! These little hunters were bred to chase down badgers, so when they catch a whiff of something interesting—like a squirrel, bird, or even a squeaky toy—they’re locked in. Their noses are always on duty, and their determination? Next level. So, don’t be surprised if your backyard becomes their personal safari zone!

Oh, they definitely have something to say—and they’re not shy about it! Dachshunds love to bark, whether they’re alerting you to a squirrel invasion, a passing car, or just letting you know it’s dinnertime. With their big voices and even bigger opinions, these little pups take their watchdog duties very seriously. Think of them as tiny, adorable security alarms with a whole lot of personality.

With their long backs and short legs, Dachshunds are built for cuteness—and a bit of extra care. They’re prone to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), which means jumping off furniture like a superhero isn’t the best idea. They can also face issues like obesity, dental problems, and the occasional stubborn streak at vet visits. Keep them on a healthy diet, give them regular exercise (no couch potatoes here!), and avoid too much stair-hopping, and they’ll be strutting their stuff for years to come.

It’s hard to pick just one—but let’s be honest, those long, low bodies and big, soulful eyes steal the show! Add in their waddle walk, loyal heart, and a personality that’s part comedian, part cuddle bug, and you’ve got a pup with star quality. Their best feature? It’s the perfect combo of charm, sass, and love—all wrapped up in one adorable, hot-dog-shaped package.

Dachshunds are loyal to their people—but when it comes to strangers, they like to play it cool at first. Think of them as tiny security guards in cute costumes: a little barky, a little wary, but mostly just making sure you’re not a threat to their pack. Once you earn their trust (maybe with a treat or two), they’ll warm up and might even demand a spot in your lap
