About the Breed

---

The Miniature Dachshund, unmistakable with a long-backed body, little legs, and big personality is an icon of purebred dogdom. MiniatureDachshunds come in one of  3 coat types: smooth, wirehaired, or longhaired. Dachshunds aren't built for distance running, leaping, or strenuous activity but otherwise these tireless hounds are game for anything. Smart and vigilant, with a big-dog bark, they make fine watchdogs, and their endearing nature and unique look has won millions of hearts the world over.
