Dachshund Names
Male & Female Naming Ideas For Your Doxie
These hand chosen Dachshund names are our own special way of saluting a
unique and family friendly breed that hails from Germany and was
specifically bred to hunt badgers. Even though there are few families
out there having badgers that they want hunted, the Dachshund stands on
it’s own four feet with a friendly personality that loves being the focus of
attention.
Did you know…
-Even it’s title can be translated into badger dog in German, with the term “Dachs” meaning badger and “Hund” meaning dog.
-The Dachshund came to America around 1870 but didn’t become popular until the 1950s because WWI & WWII propaganda used them to portray the Germans since they originate from there.
-Dachshunds don’t know that they’re small. Due to their fearlessness, this means they might not back down during confrontations with bigger animals such as larger dogs and no doubt, badgers.
