About Matilda

Matilda is not in a rush. She takes in the world at her own pace — watchful, thoughtful, and then suddenly, completely present with you in the most endearing way. At 9 weeks old she already has a personality that feels settled and genuine rather than excitable and scattered. She loves being close to people, finds comfort in familiar voices, and has a natural stillness about her that makes her an exceptionally calming presence in any home.

Bred from champion companion bloodlines with a deliberate focus on temperament and structural health, Matilda is built to be a true long-term companion. Her estimated adult weight of just 7 lbs keeps her firmly in teacup territory — small enough to tuck under your arm on a morning walk, light enough to travel with you in an airline-approved cabin carrier, and perfectly sized for a life lived close to the people she loves.

She has been raised from day one in a home environment at Maryland Pocket Puppies — exposed to household sounds, handled gently and consistently by multiple people, and given the kind of unhurried early socialization that shapes a dog’s character for life. What you see in Matilda now is the real Matilda — and she only gets better.

A Dog Unlike Any Other

There is a reason the Dachshund has been one of the world’s most beloved breeds for over a century. No other dog combines that unmistakable silhouette, that fearless self-confidence, and that almost comical devotion to comfort and companionship in quite the same way. Dachshund owners are famously loyal to the breed — most never go back to anything else once they have experienced life with one.

Matilda will claim her corner of the sofa early and defend it cheerfully. She will follow you from room to room with quiet dedication, announce visitors with a bark that seems far too large for her frame, and be sound asleep in your lap within minutes of you sitting down. That is the Dachshund way — and Matilda does it with particular grace.

• Calm and grounded — a settled, old-soul temperament that makes her easy to live with from day one
• Deeply loyal — forms a lasting, devoted bond with her family and her chosen person
• Intuitive and perceptive — reads moods naturally and gravitates toward you when you need her most
• Compact and portable — at ~7 lbs adult she travels easily and suits any living space
• Low-maintenance coat — smooth coat variety sheds minimally and requires no complicated grooming
• Long-lived — Dachshunds commonly reach 12 to 16 years, making Matilda a companion for the long haul
• Adaptable — equally content in a city apartment, a suburban home, or anywhere her people are
• Endlessly entertaining — Dachshunds have strong opinions and a genuine sense of humor that never gets old
