If you own a Dachshund, you know the joy of discovering your pup hidden in a nest of blankets.
Vocal Varieties
These pups love to "talk" and have a wide range of vocal expressions. From howls and barks to adorable little grumbles and groans, Dachshunds are quite the vocal performers. Their expressive nature adds to their charm and makes them great communicators.
Tiny Tornadoes
