An elongated body, short strong legs and a narrow muzzle - this is a dachshund. Despite the non-standard proportions, it looks very harmonious. This is a serious breed, which was bred in Germany specifically for burrow hunting of foxes, raccoon dogs and badgers.
Obeying a powerful instinct, the dachshund is ready to dig holes everywhere, even in the parquet. It is amenable to education and training, but at the same time it requires respect for oneself and one’s personal space.
At the same time, she will sleep next to you, snoring, demand something tasty, look with sad biblical eyes and will not take your personal space into account.
Frosya knows better how the hostess is comfortable
However, all these are trifles when it comes to love. Dachshunds are active, cheerful and agile dogs that know how to adapt to the rhythm of their owner’s life, loyal companions, fearless defenders, faithful playmates, patient and attentive listeners.
The nickname for them should be chosen especially carefully: dachshunds do not remember long, especially double names.

What not to call a dog
There are nicknames that dogs should not be called. Here are some tips:
- the nickname should not be too long, it is better if it is short, so it will be easier to remember;
- If you still like a long name, then we can recommend coming up with a simplified form. The first form can be indicated in documents, and at home the dog can be called the shorter one;
- there is no need to call the dachshund by human names, these are completely inappropriate options;
- the nickname must correspond to the appearance of the dog, for example, the nickname Fluff is absolutely not suitable for a smooth-haired dachshund or Snowball for a black dog;
- according to zoologists, nicknames that begin with a consonant are better perceived by dogs;
- The dachshund's name should not be in tune with the basic commands; problems may arise here both when remembering the nickname itself and during training;
- You shouldn’t give your dachshund a nickname for your once-dead pet.
