All About Dachshunds
While the Dachshund cannot claim the ancient lineage of other breeds, there is agreement among enthusiasts that the Dachshund is one of a kind.
With its unique outline and broad array of colors and patterns, it is also one of very few multi-purpose hunting breeds that can do it all – go to ground, track, flush game and retrieve.
Clever, a bit stubborn, and courageous to the point of rashness, Dachshunds are a wonderful breed. See below for more public education about the breed.
