The Dachshund also referred to as a Weiner Dog, Teckel, or Zwergteckel, is a German breed that was breed for hunting badgers. Their long low bodies were perfect for burrowing for badgers and running through tunnels to flush out badgers and other pests. Today this high energy dog is used primarily as a family dog and show dog.

The Dachshund comes in several varieties. First of all they come in two size varieties, standard and miniature. The standard version of this breed stands about 8 inches tall and weighs between 16 and 32 pounds. The miniature version stands about 6 inches tall and weighs, at the most, 11 pounds. In addition to having two size variations this breed also comes in three coat variations. They are the Smooth-Haired Dachshund, the Long-Haired Dachshund, and the Wire-Haired Dachshund.
