About the Dachshund (Long Haired)
Hailing from Germany, where it's affectionately known as the Teckel or 'badger dog', the Dachshund was originally bred for tracking wounded deer and for pursuing badgers or rabbits underground. This particular variety is distinguished by its long coat. In Britain, there are two sizes, with miniatures ideally weighing under 5 kilograms. These versatile dogs, with their distinctive shape and keen senses, make wonderful companions for those who appreciate their spirited nature and unique charm.
