Dachshund
The Dachshund, an energetic, intelligent, and brave dog, was developed in Germany from the fifth century, primarily to hunt badgers. Illustrations dating from three hundred years ago show badgers being pursued by dogs with elongated bodies, low to the ground, with hound-like ears. Eventually named the Dachshund in reference to their hunting roles ('Dachs' meaning badger, 'Hund' meaning badger), they were known to have the tracking ability of hounds and the stature and nature of terriers. The Dachshund breed comes in three coat varieties: smooth-, long-, and wire-haired. Early in the development of the Dachshund group, German breeders realized that crossing between the different varieties was detrimental, and it was subsequently banned. However, the dogs were eventually bred in both standard and miniature sizes. Dachshunds are smart, active, and courageous, and they make friendly and devoted family companions.
