BREED: Dachshund

Breed Description:
Dachshunds have a mix of both hound and terrier characteristics: they have a strong sense of smell, a loud bark, and a built-in instinct to search out vermin and rodents. Dachshunds come in three sizes: miniature, weighing 11 pounds or less; standard, weighing approximately 16 to 32 pounds; and "tweenie," the unofficial name for dachshunds weighing between 11 and 16 pounds. Their coats can be smooth, longhaired or wirehaired.
