The dachshund is a short-legged, elongated breed of the hound family. The breed’s name is German and literally means “badger dog”. It was developed to scent, chase, and flush badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals. Due to the long, narrow build, they are sometimes referred to as a wiener dog. Dachshunds are playful, fun dogs, known for their propensity to chase small animals, birds and tennis balls with great determination and ferocity.
