About the Dachshund
The Dachshund, affectionately called the 'wiener dog' or 'sausage dog', is a small hound breed with a distinctive long body and short legs. Originally bred in Germany to hunt badgers, Dachshunds are surprisingly brave and tenacious. They come in Standard and Miniature sizes, with three coat varieties: Smooth, Wirehaired, and Longhaired. Dachshunds are clever, devoted, and have big personalities. They are popular in India for their affordable price and charming appearance.
