The dachshund, also known as the wiener dog, badger dog, and sausage dog, is a short-legged, long-bodied, hound-type dog breed. The dog may be smooth-haired, wire-haired, or long-haired, and comes in a variety of colors.
Dachshunds were originally bred in 15th century Germany to hunt badgers. This dog breeds long back and short legs made them ideal hunting dogs for scenting, chasing, and flushing out small animals and burrow-dwelling creatures.
3 categories:

Doxies come in many varieties
With 15 colors, six marking types, three coat types, and three sizes, in fact. In America, the most popular type of dachshund is the standard smooth coat. All three varieties of dachshunds — the smooth-, wire- and long-coated — are found in two sizes called standard and miniature.
Training
Dachshunds are fairly intelligent dogs, but they sure can be obstinate. They have a few characteristics that you might want to consider when training as well, such as a high potential for wanderlust, a tendency to bark and howl, and a high prey drive. The earlier you start training your dog, the more success you can expect. Be patient, firm, and consistent, and most Dachshunds will respond well. They actually learn quite fast when they feel motivated and supported. Incorporate treats and their favorite toys, and try to keep training sessions short.
