Dachshunds are considered a hound breed and originated in the country of Germany about 300 years ago. Dachshunds were bred to hunt badgers and other small animals. In German "dach" means "badger" and "hund" means "dog". So in essence, "Dachshund" means "badger-dog".
Dachshunds are clever, lively and courageous to the point of rashness, persevering in above and below ground work, with all the senses well-developed. The Dachshund makes a good companion whether you live in a small city apartment or the country. Dachshunds are loyal.
Dachsunds come is 3 sizes - Standard, Miniature and Toy, although only the Standard and Miniature are found in the United States. Dachshunds also come in 3 coat types - Smooth, Long Haired and Wire Haired. Black, Brown, Red, Brindle and Blank & Tan points are a few of the common coat colors.
