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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Dachshunds reach near‑adult height by 6–8 months and full maturity between 10–12 months. Standard Dachshunds stand 8–9 inches tall and weigh 16–32 pounds; Miniatures remain under 11 pounds and stand about 5–6 inches tall.
Due to their long backs and short legs, Dachshunds are at higher risk for intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). Other concerns include patellar luxation, hip dysplasia, and obesity—issues you can help prevent through proper diet, exercise, and routine vet visits.
With attentive care, most Dachshunds live 12–16 years, and many reach their late teens. Their smaller size and, when responsibly bred, stable health contribute to this longevity.
Yes—Dachshund puppies often bond closely with kids. Their playful energy and devoted nature make them great family pets, although supervision is key to ensure gentle handling. Early socialization sets the foundation for positive interactions.
Start crate and house training immediately with a structured schedule and positive reinforcement. Keep training sessions short and upbeat to combat their stubborn streak, and introduce basic commands—sit, stay, come—early to build good habits.
Choose a high‑quality puppy formula rich in animal proteins (chicken, beef, turkey). Divide daily portions into 3–4 small meals to support steady growth and prevent hypoglycemia, especially in Miniatures.
Most vets recommend spaying or neutering between 6–9 months, ideally before the first heat for females and around one year for males. Always consult your veterinarian to determine the best timing for your puppy’s health.
