Dog Breeds - Dachshund

The dachshund, or "badger dog," is a short-legged, elongated dog breed of the hound family initially developed to scent, chase, and hunt hole-dwelling animals. Due to the long, narrow build, they are sometimes referred to as a wiener dog, hot dog, or sausage dog.

Dachshunds are playful, fun dogs, known to be strong-headed or stubborn, making them a challenge to train. However, dachshunds are a breed extremely loyal to their owners with a temperament and body language which give the impression that they don't know about their relatively small and comical stature. They're known for their deep, soulful eyes and complex and telling facial expressions.

I have 12 dachshounds ranging in the age of 18 years to a new liter of pups,,,each one is so different than the other,,,but one thing that remains the same is the devotion they have towards me,,,they are loving,,protective dogs,,,they certainly do not know they are short dogs,,there is nothing they can't get into,,,no other dog in the world is more caring,,loving or fun to watch than a dachshound.
