Known affectionately as the “Wiener Dog”, this breed also goes by other names such as Doxie, Teckel, or Sausage Dog. Originating in Germany, the Dachshund was developed to track and flush out burrow-dwelling animals like badgers. Today, Dachshunds are beloved companions recognized for their loyalty, intelligence, and lively personalities.

HISTORY OF
DACHSHUND

The Dachshund was created in Germany, where he was known as the badger dog, dachs meaning badger and hund meaning dog. Illustrations of dogs resembling Dachshunds date to the 15th century, and documents from the 16th century mention the “earth dog,” “badger creeper,” and “dachsel.” Badger wasn’t the Dachshund’s only prey. He was also used on den animals such as foxes and packs of Dachshunds trailed wild boar. Those early Dachshunds varied greatly in size. The dogs used on badgers and boar weighed 30 to 35 pounds. Dachshunds used to hunt foxes and deer weighed 16 to 22 pounds, and smaller 12-pound Dachshunds hunted hares and weasels. For a brief time in the early 20th century, 5-pound Dachshunds were used to bolt cottontail rabbits. Known as the Teckel in Germany, the breed was refined over the course of many years by German foresters in the 18th and 19th centuries. They wanted to develop a fearless, elongated dog that could dig into badger burrows and fight badgers to the death if necessary. The Smooths were the original type, created through crosses with the Braque, a small French pointing breed, and the Pinscher, a small terrier-type ratter. French Basset Hounds may also have influenced the Dachshund’s development. The long-coated Dachshunds were probably created through crosses with various Spaniels and the wirehairs through crosses with terriers. Carefully sculpted through years of breeding, today, the Dachshund is the only AKC-recognized breed that hunts both above and below ground. Their short, powerful legs enabled Dachshunds to go deep into narrow tunnels to pursue their prey. Their long, sturdy tails, extending straight from the spine, provided hunters with a “handle” to pull the Dachshund out of the burrow. The Dachshund’s unusually large and paddle-shaped paws were perfect for efficient digging. The Smooth Dachshund’s loose skin wouldn’t tear as the dog traversed into tight burrows. Their deep chest with ample lung capacity gave them the stamina to hunt, and their long noses enabled them to be good scent hounds. Even their deep, loud bark had a reason – so the hunter to locate his dog after it had gone into a burrow.

ABOUT
DACHSHUND

Dachshunds (pronounced DAKS hund — never dash-hound) come in three varieties: smooth (shorthaired), wirehaired, and longhaired. In the United States, Dachshunds are either miniature (11 pounds and under as an adult) or standard (usually between 16 and 32 pounds as an adult). If your Dachshund weighs between 11 and 16 pounds, he’s called a tweenie. Other countries have a wider variance in the sizes. For example, in Germany, the official birthplace of the Dachshund breed, Dachshunds are identified as Standard, Miniature, or Kaninchenteckel, based on a chest measurement taken at the age of fifteen months. No matter their size, Dachshunds are a delightful addition to any family, so they have ranked near the top of most popular dog lists since the 1950s. Their cute appearance and lively disposition have inspired many affectionate nicknames for the breed, including wiener dog, hot dog, sausage dog, Doxie, Dashie, and (especially in Germany) Teckels, Dachels, or Dachsels You can’t help but smile when you look at a confident Dachshund, proudly carrying his long, muscular body on short legs, his elongated head held high with a bold, intelligent look in his eyes.
Because of their almost comical appearance, Dachshunds have long been a favorite subject of cartoonists and toy makers. But their cute appearance was developed for far more serious and practical reasons. Their short legs enable them to dig and maneuver through tunnels to corner and even fight badgers and other animals, while their large chests give them plenty of “heart” for the fight. Dachshunds are brave but can be somewhat stubborn and have an independent spirit, especially when hunting. At home, the Dachshund’s playful nature comes out. He loves to be close to you and “help” you tie your shoes. Because of his intelligence, he often has his own ideas about what the rules are when it comes to play. Those rules may not be the same as yours or even other breeds of dogs. Dachshunds are known for being lively and enjoy chasing other small animals, birds, and toys. The breed standard a written description of how the Dachshund should look and act probably describes their personality best, saying,
“The Dachshund is clever, lively, and courageous to the point of rashness, persevering in above and below ground work, with all the senses well-developed. Any display of shyness is a serious fault.” Dachshunds have soulful eyes and complex facial expressions.
