Dog Breeds Hound Dachshund
The origin of the Dachshund goes back to the 1500's in which their main function was to flush out badgers. Today, however, the Dachshund has become an everyday family house pet as well as retained the sharp edge to compete in Earthdog trials and Dachshund field trials.
The Dachshund was officially recognized by the AKC in the early 1900s, and is typically in the first five in popularity according to the AKC registration list. This small sized member of the hound group has an unforgettable appearance, with a short, long body, small legs, and a handsome pointed face.
The Dachshund is known to be a wonderful house pet and great around children, but can also get a bit snappy if introduced to small kids he does not know. Some of them are more prone to barking than others, but all Dachshunds are considered to be excellent watchdogs with high energy levels.
