Dachshunds

"Dachshund" comes from two German words: dachs, which means badger, and hund, which means dog. Dachshunds also are known as "wiener dogs," because of their long bodies and short legs. They were bred in Germany to hunt badgers and other small underground animals. Although dachshunds are the smallest and weakest of the hunting dogs, they are viewed as the most courageous.

There are three kinds of dachshunds; shorthaired, longhaired, and wire-haired dachshunds. Shorthaired dachshunds were the first kind to be commonly known. Their short front legs made them good at tunneling, but their short hair couldn't protect them from bites and thorns. The silky coats of longhaired dachshunds protected them from thorns, rain and cold. The wirehaired dachshunds have a bristly coat to protect them from rain, mud and thorns.

When dogs or puppies play together for a certain period of time, eventually it is possible to see differences in their personalities. The dachshund's courage is one of its most basic traits. Dachshunds will attack any dog, no matter how large. I can vouch for that statement. One time I took my dachshund, Koko, to the groomer and as soon as we walked in the door she ran up and barked in the face of the Doberman towering over her. Digging is part of the breed's hunting instinct, also. Dachshunds are curious about everything and are extremely nosey.

Dachshund's ears are broad and rounded. They are set far back on the head to keep them safe from the jaws of the dog's prey. Dachshunds have excellent hearing and can pick up many sounds that people cannot. "They have 42 adult teeth and they are sharp, strong, and fit close together in the powerful jaw."
