For some people, Dachshund is just a short small dog with a hard-to-spell name.π But if you have a dachshund, you know theyβre the best dogs in the world.ππHere are some interesting facts about dachshunds.βπ
#1 The little dogs were bred 300 years ago in Germany to hunt badgersβtheir name literally means βbadger houndβ π§πΎ
#2 Their short legs allow them to enter badger dens, and their fierce gusto gives them the courage to take on the 15-pound mammals.πππ
#3 Nazi scientists boasted that they successfully taught the dogs to speak, read, spell, and even communicate telepathically.ππ
#4 Germans believed that dogs were nearly as intelligent as humans.ππΎ
#5 Kurwenal was a dachshund that could βspeakβ with different numbers of barks for different lettersβsort of like a canine telegraph.ππ
#6 Originally all dachshunds were black and tan, but today, they sport a variety of looks.ππ
