Greet the Breed: Dachshunds

Hello bloggers! We are out in the backyard looking for the Dog of the Day. Today's Dog of the Day is the Dachshund. The Dachshund is usually called a wiener dog or hot dog. Well back in the somewhat 1900's or 1800's the yummy hot dogs we eat today like the one cooking on my grill now were called Dachshunds!! Soon they changed the name Dachshund to hot dog. That's how the Dachshund got its nickname, the hot dog. Dachshunds are cute little dogs all the way from Germany! Dachshunds are fierce little dogs. They are known to be brave enough to face up to a badger! Dachshunds are also a winner when it comes to digging. A Dachshund can make a hole deep enough for half of its body to fit in it under 30 seconds! Dachshunds are one great dog. That's it for the Dog of the Day. Thank you! Come again!
