The Wirehaired Dachshund is energetic, clever and feisty. His big personality combined with his intelligence and vigorousness can make him a real pint-sized powerhouse. Unlike other Dachshunds, the Wirehaired Dachshund is known for being rather friendly and outgoing with new people. |
History:
The dachshund breed was developed in Germany. "Dachs" is the German word for badger and "hund" is the German word for hound. A dachshund is literally a "badger hound".
From the early 18th century, these dogs were bred in Germany for the specific purpose of hunting badgers above and below ground. Early German dachshunds weighed as much as 30 to 40 pounds. Now the Standard Wire Haired Dachshund weighs between 16 and 32 pounds.
Dachshunds were introduced to the United States in 1887 and became increasingly popular as pet or show dogs.
By 1914, "dachsies" were among the top ten breeds shown at the Westminster Kennel Club.
However, the First World War and Second World War diminished the dachshund's popularity -- the breed was strongly associated with Germany and the dog was often used by political cartoonists to represent the German wartime enemy.
From 1950 through the present day, the dachshund regained its place as one of the most popular pet dogs in the United States.
