Dachshund

With their stubbly legs and sausage-like bodies, doxies aren’t made for strenuous exercise, but that doesn’t mean they’re dainty either. They’re tough little dogs, with a keen protective streak.

Their big-dog bark makes them excellent watchdogs, and they’re extremely loyal to their owners.
