Hi, I’m Kathryn — the founder and writer behind Dachshund Friends. After welcoming our miniature dachshund into the family in 2018, I fell head over heels for the breed’s unique charm, stubborn streak, and undeniable personality.
This blog is a space where I share everything I’ve learned about raising, training, and caring for dachshunds, with a focus on practical advice, product recommendations we actually use, and honest insights from real experience. From IVDD awareness to separation anxiety struggles, I write to help fellow owners feel informed and supported.
Whether you’re a first-time dachshund owner or a lifelong sausage dog devotee, I hope you find something helpful (and a little bit heartwarming) here.
