The Dachshund (pronounced dak-sund; also known as a Teckel) originated in Germany in the sixteenth century. They were bred and trained to chase down prey, such as a badger (Dachshund means Badger Dog) or fox, enter its burrow, kill it, and retrieve it. The Dachshund was recognized as a distinct breed in 1910 and has gradually increased in popularity to become a favored pet.
