Bold and Vivacious
Despite their short stature, dachshunds have incredibly ‘bold and vivacious’ personalities according to the American Kennel Club (AKC).
Dachshunds were originally bred for badger hunting, which is why they exhibit incredible intelligence and curiosity, making them surprisingly good watchdogs.
What they lack in size, dachshunds make up for it with a ferocious bark that seems disproportionate to their tiny frame.
However, they are also known to have a stubborn nature, which can make them difficult to train and manage.
As puppies, dachshunds are usually keen to explore and will test your boundaries. Thus, owners should begin training their dachshund as soon as possible to ensure a well-behaved and obedient companion.

Reddit agrees with a dachshund’s stubbornness.
Other dachshund owners found the Reddit post very relatable, with one user referring to dachshunds as “extremely busy bodies.”
Another user explained dachshunds have pointed snouts so “they can stick it in everyone’s business,” while another user added, “if they could talk, they’d be the biggest tea spillers.”
Another user literally named his dog Snoopy “as he snooped everywhere.”
All bark and no fight
However, one reddit user was quick to point out that most dachshunds are guard dogs who love to bark but have no actual desire to protect anything.
“Mine will bark her brains out, but the second someone is near, she quickly runs away.”
