We’re proud to nurture some of the finest Miniature Dachshund puppies, a breed with a rich and fascinating history. In fact, we specialize in Isabella Mini Dachshunds, which are known for having a beautifully vibrant fawn coat. Did you know that the word “dachshund” is German for “badger dog”? Originally trained to hunt and chase badgers, these dogs have evolved from determined hunters to some of the most affectionate family companions.
A Storied History of the Miniature Dachshund
Miniature Dachshund puppies are not only adorable but are backed by a captivating legacy. Bred by German hunters in the late 19th century, their purpose was to hunt smaller prey like rabbits. As these delightful dogs made their journey to the U.S. in the 1800s, they faced a brief decline in popularity due to their German roots during the World Wars. They’ve been fondly dubbed as Badger Dogs, Weiner Dogs, or Liberty Hounds. However, their endearing nature couldn’t be overshadowed for long, and they soon regained their rightful place among the top-loved breeds in America.
Traits to Love in a Mini Dachshund
Don’t be fooled by their small size; dachshunds still retain that tenacious hunting spirit. They’re little bundles of energy, always ready to play. Weighing under 12 pounds, they remain “miniature” throughout their lives, making them perfect lap companions. Historically loved by notable figures like Presidents John F. Kennedy and Grover Cleveland, artists Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol, these canine buddies promise a lifespan of 12 to 15 years, ensuring long-lasting companionship.
