❤️ SMOOTH
💙 LONGHAIR
💚 WIREHAIR

DROP YOUR VOTE IN THE COMMENTS! 👇

And for bonus points… tell us WHY yours is the best! 😂

If you own more than one coat type, you’re still not getting out of this one. YOU HAVE TO PICK! 😜

I have a feeling this could start a friendly little dachshund debate. 🌭🐾

You can only pick ONE dachshund trait to magically eliminate forever… 👀😂

Which one are you choosing?

🅰️ The selective hearing
🅱️ The barking at absolutely NOTHING
🅲️ The “I haven’t eaten in 47 years” acting
🅳️ The refusal to potty because the grass is slightly damp
🅴️ The need to be physically touching you 24/7
🅵️ The ability to find the ONE thing in the house they aren’t supposed to have

😂 Choose your letter in the comments!
BONUS: Tell us your dachshund’s name and their WORST habit.

And be honest… we all know they run the house anyway. 🐾❤️
