For the Love of Dachshunds: Why We Can’t Resist These Little Sausages

For the Love of Dachshunds: Why We Can’t Resist These Little Sausages

There’s just something about dachshunds, isn’t there?

With their tiny legs, long bodies, and larger-than-life personalities, these quirky little pups have earned a special place in many hearts—and homes. Whether they’re snoozing under blankets or barking at absolutely nothing, dachshunds (aka sausage dogs) are full of character and charm.

As someone who adores anything crafty and canine-related, I couldn’t resist channelling my love for these funny little sausage dogs into a few handmade pieces here at Beth’s Craftings.

A Dog with Personality (and Plenty of Sass)

If you’ve ever had a dachshund in your life, you know they’re not just cute—they’re confident. These dogs might be small, but their personalities are anything but. Loyal, stubborn, and full of attitude, dachshunds are the kind of companions that make everyday life a little more entertaining.

They’ve also become something of a design icon. From quirky homeware to novelty socks, sausage dogs are everywhere—and I’m here for it.

My Little Nod to the Sausage Dog

Inspired by their wiggly walk and cheeky grin, I created a few dachshund-themed goodies in my shop that are perfect for dog lovers:

🐶 Sausage Dog Greeting Card – Whether you’re saying happy birthday, thank you, or just sending a smile, this card is full of charm. It features a long little sausage dog with a big heart—just like the real ones.

A personalised birthday card with a sausage dog illustration, made from white and red coloured card, with the text 'Happy Birthday' and a space to add a name and age if required.

☕ Dachshund Coaster – Because your tea deserves a touch of doggo joy. This coaster adds a playful twist to any desk or coffee table, and it makes a sweet gift for friends who adore their four-legged family.

Know a Dachshund Devotee?

If you have a friend who’s always sharing dachshund memes, or you’re a proud sausage dog parent yourself, these goodies make adorable gifts that bring a smile every time.

You can check them out here, or just message me for custom requests—I'm always up for a new pup-inspired project!

 

Final Bark (I Mean Thought):

Dachshunds may be small, but their impact is mighty. From their fearless nature to their snuggly side, they remind us that the best things in life come in unexpected shapes—just like a well-loved handmade card or a perfectly placed coaster.
