About Dachshund Dogs

Dachshunds are bold, spirited little dogs with personalities that far exceed their size. Originally bred for hunting, these clever companions are curious, playful, and endlessly entertaining. Their unique silhouette and expressive eyes make them instantly lovable.

Adopting a Dachshund means welcoming a spunky, devoted friend into your life. They form strong attachments to their people and love being involved in everything. Their small size makes them excellent apartment dogs, but don't underestimate their big-dog attitude.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

15°F to 42°F

Dec – Feb

Colorado Springs winters bring cold spells and snow, but sunny days often warm quickly at this altitude. The strong UV exposure at 6,035 feet means light-skinned pets may need sun protection even in winter. Garden of the Gods trails are accessible year-round with proper gear.

Spring

28°F to 62°F

Mar – May

Spring weather is unpredictable, with possible snowstorms one day and warm sunshine the next. Carry extra water on hikes as pets dehydrate faster at altitude. Palmer Park and North Cheyenne Canyon Park offer beautiful spring hiking as wildflowers emerge.

Summer

55°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Pleasant, dry summers are perfect for mountain trails and outdoor adventures. Watch for afternoon lightning storms and keep pets off exposed ridges during thunderstorms. Carry extra water as the altitude and dry air cause faster dehydration.

Fall

30°F to 70°F
