What is the dachshund?

Dachshund is a breed of a dog that is known for its long body and curved short legs that keep it low to the ground. He has a cone -shaped head, a mouth that narrows and spoils his ears. The term dachshund translates in German as a "weed rattle" and varieties usually have a short, smooth coat, which is usually black or tanned, but it can also be a wide range of other colors. They are also known for its well -developed sense of smell. They were bred to be small, but fearless, so they could dig up to get to the badger and then fought with them. In the United States, the dachshund became popular at the beginning of the 20th century and remains a popular breed today. Generally, badgers are kept in two sizes that are small and miniature, and weigh approximately £ 15 (6.8 kg) to £ 33 (15 kg) due to their hard, elongated shape, are also sometimes referred to as Wiener or sausage.

There are three main varietiesY a dachshund that is short -haired, cable hair and longhair. Short -haired dachshunds have a short, smooth and glossy coat, while dachshunds with wires have a uniform coat of short, thick and harsh hair, except their long eyebrows and smooth undercoats. The long -haired dachshund, the least ordinary of the breeds, has a glossy and slightly wavy coat of hair, which is longer on the underside of the body, giving it a unique and sophisticated look.

dachshunds are not shy dogs and it is known to be smart, alive and courageous. They are usually very friendly companions and create an ideal pet for homes with children and can adapt to many different environments. Varieties with longer coats will generally need more care than their short -haired counterparts.
