Best Dachshund Names names

Naming a Dachshund is of course just like naming any other dog. So you’ve got plenty of choice.

  • Male Dog Names
  • Cute Dog Names
  • Female Dog Names
  • Tough Dog Names
  • Cool Dog Names

But the great thing about this iconic breed, is that their special shape opens a door for some pretty unusual ideas.

(Although sadly it also opens them up to some serious health problems, which you’ll need to familiarize yourself with if you’re buying one of these pups.)

Good Dachshund names don’t have to be sausage shape based, of course.

For even more ideas check out our huge Dog Names library for ideas to suit every pup.

They can reflect his unique spirit, cool attitude or beautiful coat pattern.

We’ve split our list into categories to help you to easily find the kind of name you think would suit your new friend.

    Glad to see someone has a “Snitzel”. Ours was “Schnitzel”. Next came “Kutya” – Hungarian for Dog. And now we have “Pretzel” – longhaired tan and cream. The neighborhood kids say he looks like a “pretzel.” Sometimes I call him “Spitzbubel”.

    Our first long-haired dachshund was named Schnitzel. Then we had Kutya, which is dog in both Hungarian and Bulgraian. Finally we now have Pretzel. My dads family had a short hair (or maybe a dapple) named Eva, best known as fat old Eva, who would regularly get stuff under a fence when she tried to dig her way to the other side.

    Kozmo , We lost our red short haired mini with a white star on his chest Saturday, January 26. He was 15.5 years. His name was Kozmo. He told me his name by turning his head after I said to one side & then again to the other side after I repeated. He was the best friend & study partner I had all through college, nursing school & slept aside of me. He sat , gave paw each one at time to shake hands , sat & rolled over. I loved him more than anything, as everyone did. He owned up to his awesome name & am heartbroken from our loss. God bless you with your addition. ,

      So sorry about Flossie Mae. Over Thanksgiving we lost our 13 year old boy Goose to cancer (named after character on Top Gun). He was a mini long haired black/red.

      We are picking up our new mini English Cream boy next week. So excited.

      You’re right, they are like potato chips, can’t have just one. We were always large dog people, we agreed to care for Goose when he was a pup for while our daughter completed a semester at college. We ended up keeping him, and fell in love with all things Doxie.

    Our long haired dachshund is named Cochise Maximillian Von Duke. He is a dapple and was named after a horse that John Wayne rode. Maximilian was added since my Dad said he’s a German dog so Maximillian was added. Von Duke was added to show my husband love for actor John “Duke” Wayne. I grew up with a lh dachshund named Fox Glen Wee Maxi Von Bellwood.

    We raised dachshunds for several years & had puppies named: Racer (for a dark stripe down his back), Diesel, Dipstick (for a black tip on his tail), Cammo (silver dapple, but he became Muffin) & Mocha—they were all in the same litter & these were the names we called them until they were bought/adopted.

    We’ve had: Snitch (as in Weinerschizel) who was a brown short haired male, Maggie (for Magnolia) who was a short haired brown shadow dapple girl, Daisy was a blue eyed red & white dapple. We currently have Chester for Winchester who is a long haired black & tan, Misty (for The misty-eyed Blue Belle) who is a short haired red & white dapple with blue eyes & Abigail who is a tiny short haired black & tan. We chose the boys names for their relationship to my work in a prison: Snitch & Chester for the fun of it & got lots of laughs from co-workers!

    My sister and I bought this puppy for my mother on her birthday. She picked him out About 6 years ago. He’s this beautiful dappled, regal, smarta$$ed, protective, energetic, funny, handsome, fully realized personality.
    But while bonding with him while sitting in the middle of all these puppies… my mother noticed his tail. It wasn’t like a normal tail. Towards the very end it bent almost like 90 degrees. But looking at it with a little distance, you couldn’t tell. So from that day forward… he was known as “Bentley”.
    But he turned my mother into a laughing machine! He changed her life in so many ways. And when he started doing The strangest thing… My mother finally went to the doctor.
    Turns out that his gentle digging or kneading on her stomach, was his way of saying there’s something wrong here. She had cervical cancer.
    He dug for a couple months before she went and ended up progressing to a later stage. But because of his willingness or stubbornness to make my mother laugh every day. She said she grew stronger from him and of course her stubbornness, and support. She beat her cancer and Bentley is still making her laugh with newly acquired material, each and every day.
    I totally wish we could post pictures of our beautiful family members!

      We are though afraid to leave the new pup alone as no one will be there most of the time,we may be getting a dashund in the six weeks summer holidays. But we are afraid that it will Be to cruel.we do although have a huge park with everything a puppy could dream about. We just need to deal with the financial issues.
