Dachshund

Between their cute appearance and goofy personality, it’s no big mystery why Dachshunds are incredibly popular family dogs. They are small but mighty family companions who are happy running around or happy cuddling hard. They’re intelligent and like to help out, which can sometimes mean some pretty creative personality quirks.

And they’ll need plenty of socializing with other animals in order to ensure they won’t be overly protective. But with their pack, they’re as sweet and loving as they come.
