Dachshunds were bred to go down a badger hole alone and win, and every ounce of that courage survives in a 16 lb body. They are funny, stubborn, deeply loyal dogs with more personality per pound than anything else we raise.

A Dachshund is not a doodle, and training one is a different experience. They are intelligent but independent — bred to make decisions underground with no human telling them what to do. They will absolutely learn what you ask; they will also weigh whether it is worth their while.
Short, upbeat, food-driven sessions work. Repetition drills bore them. And a Dachshund on a scent has, briefly, no ears at all — a securely fenced yard and a reliable leash matter more with this breed than most.
The long spine that makes a Dachshund a Dachshund also makes intervertebral disc disease the breed's defining health risk. Much of the risk is genetic, but a meaningful part is management, and management is entirely in your hands.
Keep them lean — extra weight is the single worst thing for a Dachshund's back. Discourage jumping on and off furniture; use ramps or steps. Support the chest and hindquarters when you lift, never dangle them by the front end. Use a harness rather than a collar. Owners who do these things consistently give their dog the best odds there are.
The things families actually ask us before they choose a dachshund.
Typically $1,800–$2,800 depending on coat type and size. Current pricing is listed on each available puppy.
Minis stay under about 11 lbs; standards run 16–32 lbs. Temperament is essentially the same — the difference is size and how much dog you want underfoot.
The breed is predisposed to intervertebral disc disease. Keeping your dog lean, discouraging jumping off furniture, using a harness instead of a collar, and supporting the back when lifting substantially reduce the risk.
They have a reputation for it, mostly because they are independent rather than unintelligent. Crate training, a strict schedule and generous rewards get there — just expect it to take longer than it would with a doodle.
Yes. They were bred to bark underground so the hunter could locate them, and they have a surprisingly big voice. It is manageable with early training, but they will always be an alert breed.
Families choosing a Dachshund often compare these.
