About the Breed
Long-bodied, short-legged dogs have been known since the days
of Ancient Egypt and remains of dogs of a similar type to
the Dachshund have been found in several Romano-Germanic settlements.
Nevertheless, it is impossible to claim an unbroken line of
descent.
It is the 19th century before dachshunds became known outside
Germany where they were used for badger digging or hunting
in packs. During the 1914-18 War there was a senseless antipathy
to the breed followed by a rush into popularity immediately
afterwards.
As companions, Dachshunds prove loyal to their owners, and
possess a bark suggestive of a larger dog. Their elongated
body shape, which has led to them being nicknamed ‘sausage
dogs’, has made them susceptible to inter-vertebral
disc problems, particularly if they are overweight. As a precaution
against disc injuries, take pains to discourage these dogs
from running up the stairs or jumping up onto furniture.
