Dachshund puppies available in Chennai

‘Dachshund’ comes from German words badger (dachs) and dog (hund). They are originally bred for hunting badgers. This dog breed was developed to dig its way into the badgers and dispatch its occupants. 

They are popularly known as “hot dog” or “weiner dog” for their distinct body shape and temperament. Dachshunds are short and have long silhouettes with muscular legs. They come in different coat variants like brown, black, and red.

They were very popular in Britain and America during the 19th century. However, they lost their favor during World War 1 due to their Germanic origin. They are popular family dogs because of their friendly nature and low maintenance. They are smart, vigilant, and make good watchdogs. Because of their compact size, they are well-suited for apartment living.
