Doxies are one bizarre breed. Cute, playful, and weird, they always get the attention they want. However, how smart are dachshunds compared to other breeds?
The most famous dog intelligence ranking is the one coined by one Stanley Cohen, a canine psychologist. According to his ranking, dachshunds ranked #92 out of 138 dog breeds.

If you’re a fan of mini Doxies, don’t worry – there doesn’t seem to be any major difference between standard and miniature dachshunds in terms of intelligence.
