The Dachshund originated in Germany during the 15th century, selectively bred over generations into the distinctive long-bodied, short-legged silhouette recognized worldwide today. It is a bold, curious, and tenacious dog with a lively personality that belies its small size, often described as having a big-dog attitude. The breed was developed specifically to hunt badgers underground, with its elongated body and powerful paws designed to dig into burrows and confront prey in tight tunnels.
