Official artwork of the Dachshund

Dachshunds are small dogs, originally bred with their characteristic elongated bodies to hunt problematic tunneling animals such as badgers and foxes.

Dachshunds come in standard and miniature size and can have three coat variations: short-hair, long-hair, and wirehair. They also come in more colors than are available in-game, such as gray, brown, pure black, chocolate-and-tan, and merle. They may not actually come in pure white in the real world, but they do come in piebald (white with black) and skewbald (white with other colours), which is nonstandard according to the American Kennel Club.

In-Game Description[]

  • Nintendogs: "This breed appeared in Germany. Its elongated torso and short legs of this breed give it a comical air."
  • Nintendogs + Cats: "This breed from Germany is unmistakable, with its very long torso and short legs."
