Dachshunds

The word "Dachshund" in German means a short-legged scenthound used for badger. This breed is certainly the best example of this type of working dog. His hunting spirit and build make him well-suited for below-ground work. His keen nose gives him an advantage over most other breeds for trailing, also. Although he's a member of the hound family, he is pure terrier in disposition - feisty, stubborn, industrious, and always loyal.
