Dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied hound. Its name originates from Germany and originally means "badger dog". This species developed as a sniffer, tracker, and hunt badger and other burrowing animals.
Interestingly, although "dachshund" is a German word, it is not often used in Germany, and Germans usually call it duckel or teckel. Native to Germany, it is now widespread.
Dachshunds are easier to keep than other dog breeds. Because the dachshund is independent by nature, it is easy to take care of, and the instructions issued by the owner are quickly understood and followed.
In the tombs of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, the image of a dog with a long body and short limbs was first found. It was later confirmed that it was the original ancestor of the German dachshund, which shows that the history of this dog breed has existed for more than thousands of years.
On the murals of ancient Egyptian monasteries, portraits of such long-legged and short objects can be found in Mexico, Greece, Peru, Chinese mainland stone carvings and clay products of such dachshunds.
Judging from the excavation of dachshund-like relics on the ruins of the ancient Romans in Germany, it is believed that this dog is a purebred dog produced by The Dotang.
Of course, their popularity does not depend on this long history, but their short and fat body, looks like a strange sense of cuteness, short limbs also undoubtedly add a touch of natural funny to them, this ugly cuteness is very popular with humans, so dachshunds are particularly popular.
