The Dachshund, meaning "badger dog" in German, is a lively breed with a friendly personality and keen sense of smell. Known for their long and low bodies, they are eager hunters that excel in both above- and below-ground work. Dachshunds are lovable, playful companions, and an ideal pet for many homes, including those with children. One of the most popular breeds according to AKC® Registration Statistics, they come in three different coat varieties (Smooth, Wirehaired or Longhaired) and can be miniature or standard size.
Founded in 1884, the American Kennel Club is the most well-known registry of pure-bread dogs in America.
