Mini Dachshund Breed History and Characteristics
Miniature dachshunds have a long and fascinating history. Originally bred in Germany as hunting dogs, their name literally means “badger dog” in German. Miniature dachshunds were specifically developed in the late 19th century to hunt smaller prey like rabbits. Over time, they evolved from skillful hunters into affectionate and loyal family pets. They are known for their distinct long bodies, short legs, and expressive eyes — characteristics that have made them beloved worldwide.
Today, our AKC-registered mini dachshunds maintain the playful spirit and lively personalities that their ancestors were known for. Despite their small stature, these dogs have a big heart and endless amounts of energy. They love to run, play, and cuddle, making them an excellent choice for families, singles, or anyone looking for a loyal and spirited companion.
What to Expect from Our Dachshunds
Our miniature dachshunds typically grow to be around 8 to 12 pounds and stand no taller than 6 inches at the shoulder. They are known for their intelligence, curiosity, and keen sense of adventure. Dachshunds can adapt well to various living environments, whether you live in a spacious home or a cozy apartment. They are incredibly affectionate and love to be close to their humans, making them ideal lap dogs.
With proper training and socialization, mini dachshunds are fantastic around children and other pets.
