The Miniature Dachshund originated in Germany, where it was bred down from the standard-sized Dachshund to hunt smaller burrowing animals like rabbits. The breed’s name literally means “badger dog,” referencing its original purpose which is to dig into burrows and flush out prey. The miniature variety emerged in the late 1800s, maintaining the breed’s tenacity and intelligence but in a more compact form. Today, they are adored not for their hunting skills but for their spunky personality, devotion to their humans, and their unmistakable long-and-low appearance.
