Dachshunds

Dachshunds are scent hound dogs bred to hunt badgers and other tunneling animals, rabbits, and foxes. Hunters even used packs of Dachshunds to trail wild boar. Today their versatility makes them excellent family companions, show dogs, and small-game hunters. You may know them by one of their many nicknames, including Wiener Dog, Sausage Dog, Doxie, and more. If you’re looking for a little pooch who will keep you on your toes and shower you with love, this may be the breed for you.
