Dachshund Names

Words used to capture the personality of this canine breed include funny, mischievous, proud, clever, and curious. This dog is very loyal to its owners and loves being part of the family, but will need training from a young age to avoid negative traits taking over. These traits include obsessive barking, snapping, digging, guarding furniture, and separation anxiety stemming from jealousy or being left alone a great deal.

Although all Dachshunds have the same body type, which has them coined as the “wiener dog,” they come in many different varieties including wire haired, short haired, and long haired (pictured above listening to music), as well as standard, miniature, and toy, and also an abundance of colorings. Despite their size, they are extremely active dogs that enjoy a daily walk, and need regular exercise and avoidance of overfeeding to eliminate the chances of becoming obese.
