Often called “wiener dogs,” they combine high energy, intelligence, and a vocal nature with an independent streak and strong prey drive, making consistent training essential, while their long backs leave them prone to spinal issues.
Dachshunds are known for forming intense, loyal bonds with their owners, often staying close as protective, affectionate companions that thrive on constant companionship. The dogs remain highly sensitive to human emotions and frequently respond to their owners’ moods, reinforcing their reputation as devoted shadows that love to cuddle.
