A dachshund is a hound. Hounds have oily skins and have their own odor. If you give too many baths you can dry out the skin and cause problems.

Are you able to describe the odor? I don't find dachshund odor displeasing. It could be coming from the ears. Ear mites and dirty ears can be quite smelly. Are her anal glands normal?
My vet told me I could wash my dogs more than once a week with a mild shampoo if needed. I usually bathe once a month unless they are pregnant. I don't use any chemicals with them in that condition, so I bathe a lot to make sure fleas are under control I also bath the puppies on a very regular basis for possible flea control. None of my dogs have dry skin problems. I also put a drop of baby oil on my hands and rub it on their coats after.
Hope this helps.
