Meet the Dachshund

Small in Size. Big in Personality.

The Dachshund is a truly special breed, known for its unmistakable long body, short legs and wonderfully confident personality. Originally developed in Germany, these little hounds were bred for courage and determination — qualities that remain part of their character today.

Dachshunds are clever, affectionate, playful and full of personality. They love being around their people and have a wonderful way of becoming a cherished part of the family.
