9 Famous Dachshund Owners and Their Dogs

Dachshund, Doxie, Weenie, Weens, Wiener, or Sausage dogs what every you choose to call them. These cute creatures may have been originally bred to hunt burrowing animals, but they have found a way to burrow into millions of people’s hearts, and whether they are a social media icon, a world leader, or athlete are not exempt from falling for the puppy love. With that here are celebrities that have owned Dachshund and Dachshund Mixes.  

Adele & Louis

Singer and songwriter Adele, most known for her song Rolling in the Deep, has described her furry friend as the love of her life. Louis has attended parties and interviews with Adele and even was on the cover of a magazine alongside her, this dog has already had more experience in the music industry than most people have in their lives. Louis’ name even was inspired by Louis Armstrong when she caught him howling to one of Armstrongs records but before that Adele named the dog Britney Spears after attending one of her concerts that idea vetoed early. Louis has also had influence on the musician diet she claimed that when she was about to eat meat louis gave her a little look, obviously making her feel guilty.

Ariana Grande & Coco

Ariana a singer and actress who is well known for her character “Cat” on the Nickelodeon show Victorious adopted Coco her Dachshund-German Shepherd mix in 2010 and since then she has gotten quite the popstar experience being featured in 2 of Ariana’s music videos and many YouTube videos. She even has her own twitter account and a shared Instagram account with 2 of Arianna’s other dogs Ophelia and Toulouse.

Millie Bobby Brown & Rigby

Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown is quite the animal lover owning a total of 62 animals; 25 farm animals, 23 foster dogs, 10 personal dogs, and 4 cats but Rigby seems to stand out amongst the herd. Millie talked about Rigby in on a radio show saying “I have an 18 year old, blind dachshund called Rigby” she continues by talking about how he was abandoned on the side of the road and she took him thinking with his old age he must not have much time left but, she was very much wrong stating humorously “This dog is jumping on my couch now. It’s found a new lease of life”, “He is thriving”. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a photo of Rigby, so the with this I just included a photo of her with some puppies. Millie also runs a dog rescue on her farm in Georgia called Joey’s Friends.

Andy Warhol & Archie

Famous Artist Andy Warhol was more of a cat lover with about 26 of them, that was until his partner Jed Johnson suggested the idea of getting a dog. That was when they welcomed Archie named after a character in the tv series All in the Family. From then on Archie became a huge part of Andy’s career attending events like dinner parties and interviews, being a travel buddy on trips to Europe, and becoming a music for Andy’s artwork and photography. After that you could say Archie turned him into a dog person because they welcomed another dachshund into their family named Amos.

Queen Elizabeth II, Vulcan & Candy

The Queen of England was well known for her love of the Corgi breed, but what you may not know is she had 2 Corgi-Dachshund mixes or Dorgis. Her dogs lived a life of luxury with specially prepared meals from the royal chefs and getting to attend royal events, I guess you could say they got the “royal treatment”. Unfortunately, the Queen passed before Candy, but she continued to live out her years under the care of Princess Anne.

Kylie Jenner & her 5 Dachshunds

Kylie Jenner the youngest of sibling of the Kardashian-Jenner family and star of the show Keeping Up With the Kardashians and The Kardashians is a huge dog lover and has quite a few with 4 Dachshunds (Penny, Ernie, Odie, and Moo pants) as well as one Dachshund-Chihuahua mix (Wesley) that’s a lot of dogs to “keep up with”. Last year she featured 3 of her pups in a TikTok video with a trending sound clipped from the TLC show Extreme Cheapskates this sound was highly used by the dachshund owner community.

Sofia Richie & Hershula

Sofia Richie, daughter of renowned musician Lionel Richie has an adorable dapple Dachshund that she received from her ex-boyfriend in 2019. Sofia joked on Instagram about where her names came from and how she originally wanted to name her Hershey, but her and Scott merge their ideas to create Hershula. Sofia also has an Instagram account for Hershey where she shares wholesome memories of the pup and documented a bit of her recovery from IVDD. Unfortunately, the account has been inactive since 2022.

Charles Leclerc & Leo

This Formula 1 Drivers gorgeous cream dachshund is quite the fan favorite so much so that he has his own Instagram fan pages with some of the highest reaching ones having 100 thousand followers. You will often see on Charles’ fiancé’ Alexandra Saint Mleux’s Instagram posts of Leo whether it be lounging on a yacht, going to the Grand Prixes, or even attending events. Needless to say, I think we all wished we could swap places with that dog for at least a day.

Emilia Clark & Ted

Emilia Clark, well known for playing Daenerys in Game of Thrones, gives other dog moms a run for their money. In 2020 during the Coronavirus pandemic, she did what a lot of people did when they were stuck home, which is getting a puppy. Since then, she has shared many heart-warming moments of her Teddy, pictures of them cozy together, him in cute little outfits, and my favorite being a birthday post of Ted with a cake and even a #2 candle in it. In that post she states “Yes, I am now THIS lady”.
