31 Hilarious And Accurate Tweets About How It Feels To Own A Dachshund

Are you familiar with dachshunds? If you aren't, then here are some bits about this dog breed.

Dachshunds were originally bred in Germany for hunting badgers — thus, its name means badger (Dach) and dog (hund). This breed has three varieties: long-coated, wire, and smooth.

Badgers were not the only animals hunted but also rabbits, ferrets, deer, and foxes. Up to this date, they are among the most popular breeds as recognized by the American Kennel Club.

Not only are they good at hunting but also best as show dogs. This breed has proven to be excellent family dogs and watchdogs.

You may find these dogs cute and extra adorable for their size and body structure but you should know that they have personalities and they can be tough too. If properly trained, they are good with children.

Known for its many nicknames like Doxie, Sausage Dog, Wiener Dog, or Badger Hunter, dachshunds come in two sizes: the miniature, which weighs somewhere below 11 lbs. and the standard-sized, which weighs somewhere between 16 to 32 lbs.

This sweet dog fears nothing. They are smart and can be aggressive towards strangers and other dogs.
