Best Answer

The dachshund is a short-legged, elongated dog breed of the hound family. Pronounced däks' hoont, the breed's name is German and literally means "badger dog", from [der] Dachs, badger, and [der] Hund, dog. While classified as a hound in English speaking countries, some consider the classification to be in error, speculating that it arose from the fact that the German word hund is similar to the English word hound. In fact many dachshunds, especially the wire haired sub type, exhibit behavior and appearance that is far more similar to the terrier group of dogs

Should you keep a lab and a wiener dog together?

We have a Lab/Rottweiler mix and Miniature Daschound and they are the best of friends. They take care of each other and would be lost without each other. Both our dogs are fixed so we have a male (miniature daschound) and a female (the Lab/Rott) so i think that helps. If you tried to put two of the same sex together there may be issues, but then maybe not. I'm not an expert by any means... only speaking of my personal experience.


How many puppies in a daschound litter?

Litter size varies a great deal from depending on the individual, but the average number in a standard dachshund litter is about 3-8. Mini-dachshunds will usually have smaller litters than the standard size, perhaps 2-5. Note the spelling of this breed: Dachshund. Dachs is German for badger, while hund means dog. These hounds were bred to dig into badger dens and chase the animal into the open.
