Etymology
Dachshund comes from the German words "dachs" meaning badger and "hund" meaning dog.
Meaning
The name dachshund translates to "badger dog" or "badger hound". Dachshunds were originally bred to hunt badgers and other small game in burrows.
Origin
Dachshunds were developed in Germany in the 17th century. The first dachshunds were larger than the modern-day breed, and were used to hunt wild boar and deer. Over time, breeders began to select for smaller dogs that were better suited for hunting badgers and other small game. The modern dachshund was standardized in the 19th century.
