The Daschund

The Dachshund, affectionately known as the "sausage dog" or "wiener dog," has a history that dates back to at least the 15th century in Germany, where the breed was developed for hunting purposes. The name "Dachshund" translates to "badger dog" in German, reflecting its original role as a burrower and hunter of badgers, rabbits, and other burrowing animals.
