 All About Dachshund Dog

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 The dachshund, also known as the wiener dog or sausage dog, badger dog, doxen and doxie, is a short-legged, long-bodied, hound-type dog breed. The dog may be smooth-haired, wire-haired, or long-haired, with varied coloration.

The dachshund was bred to scent, chase, and flush out badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals. The miniature dachshund was bred to hunt small animals such as badgers

Dachshunds are smart dogs, but they are also independent and often willful, so they can be a challenge to train. Always encourage your dog with positive reinforcement during training and keep sessions short. If they lose patience and get distracted by a sound or smell, take a break and continue their training later.
