Word origin

The name 'dachshund' comes from the German words 'Dachs' meaning badger, and 'Hund' meaning dog. This breed originated in Germany around the 15th century and was initially developed for hunting purposes, specifically for going into badger burrows. The unique characteristics of the dachshund were selected to help them perform tasks like digging and chasing prey, which required a long body and short legs. Over the years, the breed gained popularity as a companion animal, especially in the United States, where they became a favorite among families. Dachshunds have been featured in various cultural references, including literature and film, further solidifying their status as a beloved dog breed.
