About Dachshunds
The Royal Kennel Club describes the Dachshund as a "German badger and rabbit hunter" that "comes in a variety of sizes and coat types". It says the breed is known in Germany as the Teckel (badger dog), and is still used there for tracking wounded game and going to ground after badgers or rabbits.
