I don't get saying that is has legs and body like a dachshund and then conclude that its not the body of a hunting dog. Dachhunds whole layout is how it is to facilitate hunting.
- PNewling 3y agoHuh, I had no idea they were originally a hunting dog. From this very bias source, but has a decent amount of information: https://www.dachshundstation.com/hunting-dachshunds/ https://www.dachshundstation.com/hunting-dachshunds/
- dnstalk 3y ago> Dachshunds are extremely intelligent dogs who are brave and tough in the face of danger. They had to be, in order to win a battle with a fierce badger. You need a several Dachshunds to take out a badger. Some will probably die during the hunt. Badgers are larger and have much bigger teeth and huge claws. What is that tiny dog's face going to be able to do? They also used to arrange fights to bet on called Badger Baiting...

- dabluecaboose 3y agoI don't get saying it has the legs and body like a dachshund and then saying it's "Chihuahua-sized" Why not just say "Dachshund-like"?
- bch 3y agoA large boulder the size of a small boulder…
- joker_minmax 3y agoThe picture absolutely looks Dachsund-like. Why it would be compared to a Chihuahua is beyond me. Maybe Chihuahua in Rome is better clickbait because everyone knows Dachshunds are from Europe already.
- Morizero 3y agoYeah, have these people never heard of ratting? Perfect size dog for that.
- wrp 3y agoMy thought was it looks bred to deal with household pests.
