The dachshund is a short-legged, elongated
dog breed of the
hound family. The breed's name is
German and literally means "badger dog," from (der) Dachs, badger, and (der) Hund, dog. The standard size was developed to
scent,
chase, and flush
badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals, while the miniature was to hunt rabbits. Due to the long, narrow build, they are sometimes referred to as a wiener dog, hot dog, or sausage dog. Notwithstanding the German origin of the dachshund's name, within Germany the breed is known—both formally and informally—as the Dackel or Teckel.
