Also known as the wiener dog, badger dog, doxie, 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 the coloration usually varies.

According to the Kennel Club , the dachshund was ranked 9th in popularity among dog breeds in the United States in 2022.

The name dachshund is of German origin, and means "badger dog," from Dachs ("badger") and Hund ("dog, hound"). Although Dachshund is a German word, in modern Germany, the dogs are more commonly known by the short name Dackel. Working dogs are less commonly known as Teckel.

Because of their long, narrow build, they are often nicknamed wiener or sausage dog.
