Dachshunds, like all domestic dogs, are descendants of wolves through a long process of domestication that began thousands of years ago. Early humans selectively bred wolves for specific traits, such as temperament and size, leading to diverse Dog Breeds. Dachshunds were developed in Germany for hunting small game, particularly badgers, which influenced their elongated body shape and short legs. Over generations, this selective breeding resulted in the distinct characteristics of the dachshund we see today.
