History of the Miniature Dachshund Breed
Breed History
First known as the Teckel in his home country of Germany, the Dachshund has been around in one form or another for at least 500 years.
The Dachshund’s distinctive long, low shape awarded them the nickname 'sausage dog' and is due to being purpose-bred to tear down burrows after rabbits in its country of origin
In the 1800s, Dachshunds started being bred more as pets in Great Britain. They were favourites in royal courts all over Europe, including that of Queen Victoria, who was especially fond of the breed
Owning a dog is a commitment as the life span of the Dachshund is 12-16 years, it is essential to keep the breed in a healthy weight range of 4 - 6 kgs and jumping is to be avoided to avoid back problems
