The Dachshund
The Dachshund, 'wiener dog', 'hot dog', or 'sausage dog' as it is sometimes disparagingly called because of it's long body, makes a great companion. The breed can be traced back to ancient Egyptian times and is popular now all over Europe and the U.S.A. A full grown Dachshund can weigh anywhere from 16 to 32 pounds, where as the miniature version weighs around 11 pounds. Once called the German Dachshund, it was much larger wieghing up to fourty pounds. The name translates in German to 'badger dog' because of its amazing hunting, chasing, and scent abilities.
