Some people call them weinner dogs. Some say hot dogs and some, like my daughter, like to call them corn dogs. But the internet's newest favorite nickname for Dachshunds? The hilariously accurate ‘House dragons’.
There's a precious TikTok video from @wildideaswithbrian showing a snuggly, warm pile of scrumptious newborn miniature Dachshund puppies. The caption: "You wanna see some newborn baby house dragons? I'll show them to you. Here they are."
And there they are in all their doxxie glory. Tiny, wrinkled, barely mobile bundles of pure joy with those signature long bodies and short legs already visible even at this early stage. The video shows each one—a "desert camel" colored pup, what looks like a red dapple, and a solid black puppy with a white crest that the owner jokes could be sold as "a false Labrador."
Aunt Bonnie, another Dachshund in the home, comes over to see what’s going on with the babies. "She's checking out the babies. You don't like any other dogs, but you like babies," the owner explains while Bonnie investigates the newborn Dachshund puppies.
"I will now be referring to my dachshund as 'a house dragon'" one Dachshund fan declared, officially adopting the new name.
