Etymology
The word 'dachshund' comes from the German words 'Dachs,' meaning badger, and 'Hund,' meaning dog. This breed has roots in Germany and was developed in the 15th century. It was specifically bred for its hunting ability, particularly in flushing out badgers from their burrows. The characteristic elongated body and short legs allowed them to navigate burrows easily. The breed gained substantial popularity in the United States during the early 20th century, particularly after World War I when they were often named 'wiener dogs' due to their resemblance to the shape of a sausage. The American Kennel Club recognized the breed officially in 1885, and over the years, dachshunds have become beloved family pets due to their playful and affectionate nature.
