The Teckel or Dachshund

​

The Dachshund, also popularly known as the sausage dog, is one of the most charismatic and recognizable breeds in the world thanks to its characteristic elongated body, short legs, and intelligent gaze. Originating in Germany, this canine was initially bred for burrow hunting, which explains its bravery, great sense of smell, and strong curious instinct. Despite its compact size, it has a bold, self-assured personality and is very loyal to its family. There are different varieties of Dachshund according to size (standard, miniature, and Kaninchen) and coat type (smooth-haired, long-haired, and wire-haired), each with a unique charm. They are very affectionate and playful dogs at home, although they can also show an independent and tenacious character. Their elongated morphology requires certain special care, such as preventing them from jumping from great heights to protect their spine, in addition to maintaining a daily walking routine and a balanced diet to prevent overweight.
