Dachshund

The Dachshund is a hound-type dog breed with short legs and a long body. Other names for this breed include wiener dog, badger dog, and sausage dog. The dog may have long hair, wire hair, or smooth hair. The typical dachshund was created to detect, chase, and flush out badgers and other creatures that live in burrows. The little dachshund was developed as a hunting dog for small creatures like rabbits.

The classic dachshund has a strong, muscular body and small, stubby legs. Its front paws, which are paddle-shaped and especially suited for digging, are abnormally huge. While excavating in little burrows to pursue prey, its skin is elastic enough to avoid tearing. The dachshund has a deep chest that gives them lots of room for its heart and lungs to grow. It has a long snout.

Dachshunds are noted for their propensity to chase tiny animals, birds, and tennis balls with great persistence and fury. They are lively, yet as hunting dogs, they can be rather stubborn. Dachshunds have a good feel for pursuing smaller animals because they were originally bred to hunt badgers. It might be difficult to train dachshunds because they are frequently stubborn.
