Question

I know thats what we call them but I cant remember the real name? Looking to get one from the local dog shelter

Answer 1

The Dachshund (pronounced dacks-hoont, not dash-hound) but are you sure this is the right dog for you?The breed name means “badger hound,” an apt description of the dog’s original purpose. Dachshunds “went to ground” after the ferocious badger, a weasel cousin considered to be vermin, bravely drawing it from the den to face the hunter’s guns.A dog that followed its prey into a narrow tunnel in the ground needed special conformation to extricate itself from trouble. So, the Dachshund had a low-slung body with a chest that acts as a keel; the dog could rest on his chest and use his remarkable limber front legs to dig his way out of trouble. If all else failed, the hunter could reach into the hole and grab the Dachsie by its long tail and pull it to daylight.

Today’s Dachshund is a pet, not a hunter, but still maintains the characteristics of independence, courage, hardiness, and combativeness that served so well as it challenged the fierce badger in its den. The original Dachshund weighed about 30 pounds, a good size for confronting a 35-pound badger in its den. Smaller Dachshunds, weighing about 20 pounds, were bred to hunt foxes and trail larger game that had been wounded by the hunter, and still smaller ones were developed to draw rabbits from their warrens. Today the breed is divided into miniatures, which are 11 pounds or less at 12 months of age or older, and standards, which usually weigh 16-32 pounds.The Dachshund is generally long-lived and healthy but is subject to some genetic diseases, including slipped disc syndrome. Some owners are apt to pamper their Dachshunds in the hopes of preventing slipped discs. However, rather than being a condition of long-backed, low-slung dogs, the syndrome is probably genetic and pampering has no effect on its expression. Eye abnormalities, urinary tract stones, and mammary gland cancers can be problems in the breed, and the dapple coat pattern (known as merle in other breeds) is connected with eye and hearing difficulties.

Attention must be paid to the Dachshund’s droopy ears, for they can hold the moisture that is a breeding ground for fungus, bacteria, and mites.

Like all dogs, the Dachshund must be trained to obey family members. Although a mature standard Dachshund weighs less than 30 pounds, the dog is all muscle and is clever enough to get away with much mischief if not taught some manners. Furthermore, the temperament that allows him to defy a badger can cause him to resist instructions through independence or guile unless he is fully aware that the humans are in charge in the household. Training should be done with firm, consistent guidance, not harsh correction.
The other half of the Dachsie personality moderates its bold attitude with a loving demeanor, a heavy dose of charm, and a playful sense of humor.
This is a rather broad generalization that will vary between individuals. In smooths, I think the most serious temperament fault is shyness. The smooths are inclined to attach themselves to a particular family member and to be somewhat aloof with strangers. The wirehairs are extroverts with a clownish sense of humor, and the longhairs manage to maintain their dignity while happily playing with anyone who can be enticed into a game.Though I love dogs in general, I think that I am forever hooked on dachshunds.. My biased opinion: in general, dachshunds are idiosyncratic, bold, charming, sometimes a pain in the ... neck, and almost always lovable. Despite their small size, dachshunds are not fragile dogs -- they see themselves as German Shepherds. They will be ecstatic if you take them out for a walk in the woods, or a romp through a field. They will also be enthusiastic about a walk around the block. They like to play ball, although they don't always see the point of bringing it back to you.
We have always had a dachshund and will always have them. We were given our first one and have saved a number of others.

Dachshunds come in two sizes, standard and miniature. Otherwise known as the "sausage dog breed," the Dachshund has a low, long and muscular body, enabling it to move freely in a tunnel or den without sacrificing jaw and body strength it needs to overcome its quarry. Agile and with great stamina, Dachshunds have three types of coats, smoothhaired, longhaired and wirehaired, each providing a different level of protection against the weather. The Dachshund dog breed has a pleasant, energetic expression.

Dachshunds' temperament depend on their coat type. The smoothhaired Dachshunds are usually alert and friendly, while the longhaired Dachshunds tend to be more apprehensive and reserved with strangers. Of the three, wirehaired Dachshunds tend to be more lively and active, but stubborn.

The Dachshund is susceptible to genetic eye disease, disc and skin problems.

Dachshunds do well in apartments as long as they get daily exercise. Owners should be aware that Dachshunds can be noisy.

The Dachshund is in the Hound group.
