Dachshunds come in many varieties. There are different sizes and colors as well as types of coats to choose from, each with its own characteristics and group of devoted owners and admirers. Dachshunds are long-bodied, short-legged dogs--small in stature but very large in personality--whose noses are so close to the ground that not much escapes their notice! In fact, their physical structure is the primary reason for their hunting expertise. This scenting ability was recognized by German hunters as early as the 15th century. Derived from early German hounds known as Deutsche Brocken, these little dogs were called badger dogs or diggers. Eventually, they were crossed with small terrier-type dogs to produce the Dachshunds we know today. With the nose of the hound, the long, low body that burrows into holes in the ground, and the fearless terrier-like enthusiasm for the chase, the Dachshund is hard to beat. Miniatures originally weighed from 16 to 25 pounds and hunted fox or tracked wounded deer. Today, the average Miniature weighs from 8 to 12 pounds and hunts rabbit or hare. In America, Dachshunds have not been used for hunting or tracking but the dogs' sterling qualities of lively character, courage, and devotion have always made them popular. In 1913, Dachshunds were listed among the ten most popular breeds in America. When World War I began, Dachshund interest declined and remained low until the early 1930's. By 1940, they were again ranked among the top ten breeds in America and maintained that standing into the 21st century.

Dachshunds are not typically good with strangers and are known for barking at unfamiliar people or animals. However, since they like being in a pack, they get along with children and do well as family dogs. They will most certainly let their family know when something is approaching their home, whether it’s a person, animal, or car. Although Dachshunds make good family pets, owners should be cautious having them around small children. Because of their unique body type, the breed may become accidentally injured by children who pick them up incorrectly, or by being tripped over which can lead to an aggressive response. Furthermore, they don’t get along very well with large dogs and do best in a household as the only dog or with another Dachshund. They sometimes get snappy with other dogs or may try to dominate them. Because of their strong drive for prey, Dachshunds should not be taken off leash unless they’re in a fenced yard. The breed is known for taking off suddenly if they see something that interests them and may not come back on command. Dachshunds will do best in homes with a fenced yard so that they are not dependent on their owners taking them for a walk to get some exercise. Since Dachshunds were bred to burrow, the modern breed tends to like to dig which can lead to torn up grass in your backyard. Luckily, the digging behavior can be minimized if they aren’t left outside unsupervised for long periods of time. When no one is around to entertain them, their desire to dig spikes.
