All about your favorite AKC Breed - the Dachshund

The Dachshund was developed in Germany more than 300 years ago to hunt badgers -dachs means badgers and hund means dog. This is a lively breed with a friendly personality and keen sense of smell. Known for their long and low bodies, they are eager hunters.

Dachshunds come in three different coat varieties. The most common is the smooth-haired coat, the next us the longhaired coat and the wire-haired coat is least common. Dachshunds come in two sizes: standard and miniature: a standard dachshund averages 16 lb (7.3 kg) to 28 lb (13 kg), while the miniature dachshund usually weighs less than 11 lb (5.0 kg).

Common nicknames for this breed include: Doxie, Dackel, Teckel, wiener dog, hot dog, sausage dog, Worshond, Jamnik, and dachsie.

H. L. Mencken said that "A dachshund is a half-dog high and a dog-and-a-half long," which is their main claim to fame.

The most common and associated with the dachshund is the smooth-haired coat. The next most recognized is the long coat. The wire-haired dachshund is least common.
