About Us

We’re the family behind Dachshund Lovers, a heartfelt project sparked by one little doxie named Harvey.

About Us

A Little Dachshund Called Harvey

In 2020, when the world shut down, something small and long brought joy into our home.
His name was Harvey.


We’d always been those people, stopping and frozen in our tracks whenever a dachshund waddled by or starting barking us.
Small dog. Big energy. Strong opinions.

We were obsessed long before Harvey ever arrived into our lives.


But when he did… everything changed.


Suddenly we weren’t just dachshund admirers. we were dachshund parents.


And that’s when we realised something important:

Owning a dachshund shouldn’t feel like detective work… but it does.


Need a ramp? Every website recommends something different.

Which one prevents IVDD? Who knows.

Need a harness? “Fits all dogs” — except the one shaped like a sausage.

Need trusted answers? You’re 12 contradictory blog posts deep and still confused.


There was no single place for Dachshund owners where we could:
• trust the advice
• trust the products
• trust that someone actually understood this breed


And we couldn’t be the only ones feeling that.


So our mission became crystal clear:

Create the world’s most trusted home for dachshund lovers, where everything is built for long dogs and the people obsessed with them.


Harvey didn’t just arrive at the perfect time.
He sparked a purpose and mission for life.


A purpose to make every dachshund parent feel confident, supported, and finally understood.

That’s how Dachshund Lovers was born.


We weren’t the only ones struggling to find answers and products designed for dachshunds, we just happened to be the ones who decided to fix it.


So we built more than a website.
We built a home base for the long-dog wiener world.
A place to share stories, ask real questions, avoid expensive mistakes, and discover products trusted by dachshund families everywhere.


This isn’t just about owning a dachshund.
It’s about belonging to a community that gets it.

Our “Why”


Most pet sites treat dachshunds like they’re any other dog.


They’re not.


Long backs and bold attitudes require real expertise, not guesswork.


We searched everywhere for one trusted home that actually understood dachshunds on all levels from information to products.

All we found were cluttered stores, confusing advice, and products not built for our breed.


So we built the solution.


Dachshund Lovers gives owners clarity, not chaos.
Everything here is trusted by real dachshund people who care about real results and quality outcomes.


Because dachshunds deserve better
— and now they have it.

Our Core Values

A Home for Every Dachshund Lover ICON

A Home for Every Dachshund Lover

We’re building the place for people obsessed with dachshunds. Not another generic pet site. A home. Where everything exists for one breed and one purpose — making life better for dachshunds (and the humans aka us, who adore them). If you love a sausage dog, this is where you belong.

Fewer, Better Things

We don’t sell junk. We don’t follow trends. We choose and create only what works — what lasts — what actually improves life with a dachshund. Quality is the rule, not the upgrade.

Honest Hearts Icon Dachshund Lovers

Honest Hearts

No fluff. No fake authority. Everything we share comes from real experience, real owners, real reviews and real outcomes. We wouldn’t recommend a product or tip we wouldn’t use for our own Harvey. Trust is earned and we plan on earning it every day in our community.

Joy In the Details Icon Dachshund Lovers

Joy in the Details

The magic of dachshunds lives in the tiny things — the ear flicks, the waddle, the 2am cuddle nudge and the barking at the wind. We obsess over those details in everything we design, recommend and write because small is never small when you love a dachshund.

Our North Star

We are building the #1 home for long dogs. Period.


We exist for one breed.
We solve one set of problems.
We serve one global community.


Our mission:
Reach and empower 10 million dachshund families — fast across the globe.


Everything we recommend is validated by actual dachshund owners and real reviews.


Every guide removes guesswork.


Everything leads to better outcomes.


We’re done settling for products built for “dogs.” We build and curate just for dachshunds.
