I'm happy that you're curious about such a wonderful breed... The Dachshund! I own a dachshund, and I love her s much. The Dachshund was origionally a hunter from Germany. Dachshunds hunted badgers, because the way their backs are structured makes it convenient to slip into badger and rabbit holes. Their size makes it great to not only snuggle, but to fight badgers in their dark holes. In German, Dachs Means Badger, and hund means hound dog.
Yes, another name for Dachshunds is wiener dogs.
Dachshunds were originally from Germany. The name means 'Badger Dog' i.e. a dog that could hunt out badgers in the narrow spaces of an underground badger sett (hence the short legs).
