Description

The Miniature Dachshund is a small, bold, and affectionate breed, easily recognized by its long body, short legs, and lively personality. Originally bred in Germany to hunt badgers and other small game, this little hound is curious, brave, and full of energy. Despite their small size, Miniature Dachshunds have a big-dog attitude and enjoy playtime, walks, and plenty of companionship. They are loyal to their families, sometimes a bit stubborn, but very affectionate and loving. Their smooth, longhaired, or wirehaired coat requires regular care depending on type, but overall they are low-maintenance. Adaptable to apartments or houses, the Miniature Dachshund is a spirited and charming companion with a playful, adventurous heart.
