Dachshunds, wiener dogs, sausage dogs. Whatever you may call them, dachshunds are hands down the best dogs ever. I have had four dachshunds in my life (along with 3 other breeds of dogs), and they are seriously the best. They have the best personality, love to cuddle, and are adorable. What isn't to love about them?

Here are five reasons why dachshunds are the best dogs ever.

1. Hotdog costumes

Who doesn't love a tiny little dachshund running around looking like a hotdog? They are the only dog that looks okay wearing the hotdog Halloween costume. If any other dog wears it, it just looks stupid.

2. Derby races

They may be small, but they sure can run around at the speed of lightning. My house is constantly filled with tiny little "derby races" as I like to call them. They run up and down the halls all day and never run out of energy which provides constant entertainment.

3. They love to cuddle

Dachshunds are the best dogs to cuddle with. They love to burrow under blankets and sleep right next to you for warmth. It is the cutest thing ever.

4. They aren't afraid of anything

One thing I have learned from my years of experience with dachshunds is that they don't let their size stop them. They act like they are just as big as any other animal, and will do anything. They are tiny little daredevils.

5. They crave attention

Dachshunds constantly need attention. They will sit up on their back legs like a prairie dog and will beg for you until you look at them. While this can get annoying at times, you know that they will always want to be loved.

While I think that dachshunds are the greatest dogs in the world, all of the other breeds of doggos are cute in their own way too.
