Since primitive times, the low-breasted sausage has been bred as a hunting dog. They are already shown in the photos of the ancient Egyptians. As early as the Middle Ages, dogs were described and painted that look almost exactly like our own. dachshunds from today. Also the purposes were the same.

The Dachshund It is one of the dog breeds that were and continue to be the most resistant and one of which for the longest time has been entrusted with a task at the service of man. With the emergence of modern dog breeding, the modern Dachshund was born in germany. Already in 1888 the German Club of Dachshund.

It is said that the spaniels were bred in the past by the long-haired dachshund, while the hard-haired Teckel had a terrier between its ancestors.

What is your correct name: Teckel, Dachshund o Dackel?

All three names are correct. Name "Dahshunt» (derived from badger), late middle ages, became "Dächsel» at the beginning of the 18th century, in the second half of that century in «Teckel» in northern Germany and later, towards the end of the 19th century – as a short tiny shape – «Dackel«.

The main external feature of the Dachshund it's his downfall, called chondrodystrophy. This chondrodystrophy is a mutation of the cartilage that, among other things, produces dwarfism in long bones. This has been established in ancient times and maybe even before that., since such dogs are very useful for humans. These may include, both hunting and working in tight spaces. The humble character of Dachshund is combined with an elongated and slim body.

The Dachshund is bred in two lines: as a hunting dog and as a companion dog. In the line of companion dogs also move lovers of dog shows, where it's over and over again at the expense of the well-being and health of dogs, for example if dogs are bred too long and too low.

The Standard dachshund has a chest circumference of more than 35 centimeters and weighs between four and nine kilograms. The Miniature dachshund have a circumference of 30 to 35 centimeters in the bust and a weight between three and four kilograms, the Rabbit Dachshund, about three kilograms in weight, but no less.

The Dachshund he is a hunting dog and has never been a lap dog. It is a small dog, very large. In the burrow, the Dachshund he is a persistent solitary hunter and must make decisions independently. A strong will, perseverance and great courage are other qualities that are required for hunting. These requirements have had a lasting effect on his character.. He is self-confident and sometimes stubborn, but contrary to popular opinion he is extremely well mannered and manageable. He is a true professional. His stubbornness makes up a good part of his special charm, that you not only have to accept but you like. He is friendly and not submissive, shows your opinion and is neither fearful nor aggressive. He also has a well-balanced temperament. Even if you have it as a companion dog, the Dachshund still a passionate hunting dog, persistent, fine and agile nose. Can be trained well – also for dog sports.

The Dachshund has no special demands regarding its maintenance. He loves his humans, either in a small apartment or in the countryside with a large garden. But, you should never expect me to climb the stairs, at least not regularly. The Dachshund he is a hunter and a dog who enjoys nature. Regular excursions must be allowed, if possible daily, to the nature. Despite its short legs, the Dachshund has amazing resistance. It is always impressive to see with what zeal, speed and endurance this dog runs through nature. It is not unusual for him to accompany his master or carer when he runs, but this doesn't have to be the rule. Like a sturdy little dog, the Dachshund can be carried everywhere without problems. In a restaurant or hotel, he knows how to behave. The Dachshund it is an excellent family dog. Can be problematic with other pets due to their hunting instincts. This can be changed during the puppy stage if the dog gets used to it and is educated accordingly.

Coat and muzzle should be checked daily. The coat should be brushed regularly. The Dachshund wire-haired needs to be trimmed.

Despite his passion for hunting, the Dachshund is a dog for everyone, whether hunter or non-hunter. Contrary to popular opinion, he is a well trained dog. You just have to earn it as a partner consistently and with conviction and patience. Then he gives her proverbial trusting nature the warm "look of Dachshund«. Is never submissive; has a strong self-confidence with a strong self-will. This must be respected, even appreciated. Each Dachshund has its own individual character. It should not be misinterpreted as a lapdog, must be challenged and above all his individual personality must be accepted. It can then be coached and managed consistently on the basis of the bonds of friendship.. With a little commitment, this is also possible for a less experienced beginner.

The Dachshund enjoy robust overall health. You just have to be careful that the dogs are not too small, too long, too light and not too short legs. Also show breeds, in which dogs are judged on their external appearance, should be considered with caution. The Dachshund occasionally suffers from paralysis of the Dachshund It is named. It is a special sliding disc, that has the same inherited causes as your lack of movement. It also, diseases of the heart valves, rheumatic diseases and idiopathic epilepsy are more common. La endogamia, mating with extreme characteristics such as dwarf - exaggerated ratio (short legs, long back)- represents a considerable risk to health and dramatically shortens life expectancy.

The Dachshund has no special nutritional requirements. For your general physical condition, especially with regard to the risk of paralysis of the Dachshund, you must take care that it stays strong and slim.
