Dogs are amazing creatures - we can all agree on that. If you see a dog on the street, your immediate reaction is how cute it is, and "can I pet it?" It's just common sense. Dogs are human beings' best friends and there is no denying the bond that we share.
For me personally, I have three amazing dogs, and I love them to death. The best part about them though is their breed, as dachshunds (or doxies for short) are one of the best types of dogs ever.
Don't believe me? Here are the top seven reasons why doxies rock my socks!
1. Their shape alone is entertaining.
They are the only dogs that are in the shape of a hot dog, and that's a unique quality to them. Given the name "weiner dog" isn't the most flattering, but these dogs take it with stride and own it. Yes, they look funny, but they are also fierce.
2. They are small enough to cuddle with.
Unlike most dogs, dachshunds remain small and do not become a massive size that topples all over you. This makes them the best cuddle buddies that you can hold to your heart's content.
3. They've mastered the art of being low to the ground.
Because they are so small, the ground is usually all they see. So when they see a human that is much taller pick them up, they are more elated than usual. Because they are so low to the ground, they look up to the owners that provide for them.
4. Their ear flip is a nice fashion statement.
Owners of dachshunds will know this famous ear flip from a mile away. Their ears are so unique and so intriguing, especially when they keep it like that and don't have a care in the world. It's a talent worth looking at, for sure.
5. They vary in personality.
What's so great about doxies is that no two are the same in personality. Out of my three, one is as energetic as a bunny, one is as lazy as a sloth, and the other one is as hungry as a hippo. They each have a distinct characteristic about themselves, which makes all the more special as individuals.
6. They're VERY cute.
Dachshunds have nailed the cuteness factor by a million percent. They'll do the cutest things like stand up on two feet begging to laying around looking at you for hours. You can't help but surrender yourself to the cuteness that these dogs possess.
7. They are always happy when you are around.
Their loyalty holds no bounds. When they hear that you are back after a long day of work, they are excited to see you like it's Christmas, running around and barking up a storm. When they are happy, you are happy, as the moments you share with them will forever brighten up your day.
