Dachshunds are one of the most popular and easily recognized dog breeds on the planet. Not only do dachshunds hold a special place in our hearts, but their popularity was gained largely due to their special place in pop culture. Here’s a look at how the dachshund puppy breed has been prominent throughout the years in popular culture.
