Everyone knows a Dachshund person. They have a phone full of photos of one long, low, extremely opinionated little dog, and they will happily tell you about it. The good news: they are some of the easiest people in the world to shop for. Here are the gifts doxie moms and dads actually love, sorted by what kind of Dachshund person you're buying for.
1. For the one who goes all-in on Christmas
If they own a Christmas sweater for every day of December, get them a Dachshund one. Our Dachshund Through the Snow Christmas Sweatshirt shows a long little doxie in a Santa hat wrapped in twinkle lights, and the All I Want for Christmas Is My Dachshund Sweatshirt says exactly what every wiener dog parent is thinking. Both are cozy Gildan heavy blend crewnecks, so they get worn long after the holidays.
2. For the proud doxie mom
She calls her dog "the baby" and means it. The Dachshund Mama Retro Tee is a groovy retro design on a thick, garment-dyed Comfort Colors tee, the kind of shirt that gets softer every time it's washed. It's an easy win for Christmas, her birthday or Mother's Day.
3. For the Dachshund dad
The guy with treats in every jacket pocket deserves the Dachshund Dad Retro Tee. Want a matching set? Pair it with the Dachshund Mama tee. Buying both gets you 15% off automatically.
4. For the "it's a lifestyle" Dachshund fan
Some people don't just have a Dachshund, they're in the club. The Wiener Dog Club Retro Sunset Tee has a vintage sunset design that works with jeans, shorts and everything in between. Country fans will love the Long Dog Rodeo Western Tee, with a tiny cowboy doxie riding into the sunset.
5. A ramp or pet stairs for the couch or bed
Dachshunds have long backs and short legs, and vets often recommend limiting jumps on and off furniture to protect their spines. A ramp is one of the most thoughtful (and most-used) gifts you can give a doxie household.
6. A burrow bed or cuddle blanket
Dachshunds were bred to go into tunnels, and most of them still love to dig under blankets. A cave-style "burrow" bed or an extra-soft blanket of their own will be in use within five minutes of being unwrapped.
7. A custom pet portrait or ornament
A painting, illustration or ornament of their actual dog is a gift people keep for years. Order early, since custom artists get busy in December.
8. Puzzle toys and long-lasting chews
Dachshunds are smart, food-motivated and a little bit stubborn. A puzzle feeder or snuffle mat keeps them busy and gives their humans a break.
9. Something for walks
A well-fitted harness (rather than a collar) is a popular choice with Dachshund owners because it doesn't put pressure on the neck. Add a cozy dog sweater and winter walks are covered.
