Dachshund Names

Dachshund is one of the most unique dog breeds in terms of looks. You may be able to recognize one without much difficulty. The long-body and short-legs combination is the reason they’ve got the names ‘Sausage’ and ‘Weiner’ dogs. But there is more to them apart from their looks. Here’s a small introduction to the breed before getting to the naming ceremony. 

The word ‘Dachshund’ comes from German origins and means ‘badger’. They come in short-hair, long-hair and wired-hair versions. Red is the most common color in these dogs. (they wouldn’t look like sausages otherwise, right?). Apart from the red, you may also see these wieners in tan, black and tan, chocolate and tan or blue and tan. Temperament wise these dogs can be quite stubborn at times and may refuse commands. They tend to chase small animals as they were originally meant for hunting. They can even be aggressive to strangers and other dogs. However, they do have good intelligence levels and can be trained. They come with a loud bark though. 

Now that you’ve got the basics of Dachshund, we can move on to the task that you’re here for.
