Dachshund Names



Funny Dachshund Dachshund names need to be perfectly paired to go well with the unique looks of this breed, but to also fit their lively and affectionate personality. Many Dachshund owners say that once they own this breed type, they will never own another kind of breed.

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.

Here are some good Dachshund puppy names, and adult dog names, to help you name your new pet:

Brodie: This moniker belongs to a pooch that is adventurous and always into something. He has a good natured personality, and loves to please his owners.

Caboose: A funny and unique Dachshund name that pays tribute to the body type of this pup, and could be used for either a male or female dog.

Carina: A German word meaning “beloved” or “friend,” this is an excellent moniker for your beloved German Dachshund.

Ginger: This dog loves to be with her owners and will happily join them anywhere they go with her tail wagging and her ears perked!

Houdini: The perfect name for a male Dachshund that is constantly on the run, and who will definitely need a fenced yard to keep him at bay.

Klein: German for “small,” this is a strong name to pay tribute to your small, German dog that has a strong personality.

Opie: This dog will make you laugh on a daily basis with his funny loving personality.

Minnie: A well suited name for a female Dachshund because although she might look or act silly, she is an affectionate pooch that is loved by her human companions.

Priscilla: Sweet and charming one minute, this mischievous pooch can turn right around and be sassy and stubborn. Of course this makes her owners just love her that much more!

Twinkie: A delightful, fun name that honors your pet’s body type while also showing how sweet and loveable she can be.
