Dachshund Wallpapers

The dachshund, also known as the wiener, badger, and sausage dog, is a short-legged, long-bodied, hound-type dog breed. They may be smooth-haired, wire-haired, or long-haired.

A typical dachshund is long-bodied and muscular with short stubby legs. Its front paws are disproportionately large, paddle-shaped, and particularly suitable for digging. Its skin is loose enough not to tear while tunneling in tight burrows to chase prey. The dachshund has a deep chest which provides plenty of space for heart development and lung capacity. Its snout is long.

The standard-sized dachshund was developed to scent, chase, and flush out badgers and other burrow dwelling animals. In contrast, the miniature dachshund was bred to hunt small animals such as rabbits and other smaller animals.

According to the American Kennel Club, the dachshund was ranked 12th in popularity among dog breeds in the United States in 2018.

Many dachshunds, especially the wire-haired subtype, may exhibit behavior and appearance similar to that of the terrier group of dogs.

Dachshunds are playful, but hunting dogs can be pretty stubborn and are known for their propensity for chasing small animals, birds, and tennis balls with great determination and ferocity. Dachshunds are often stubborn, making them a challenge to train.

Dachshunds are among the most popular dogs in the United States, ranking 13th in the 2016 AKC registration statistics. They are popular with urban and apartment dwellers, ranking among the top 10 most popular breeds in 76 of 190 major US cities surveyed by the AKC.

Local dachshund clubs are organized in most major American cities, including New York, New Orleans, Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
