Dachshunds Are An Awesome Breed... And This Is What You Need to Know.


Who doesn't love wiener dogs? Stop, before you become one of those ridiculous
nay-sayers let me inform you a little about these little cute and stretched-out dogs.
Maybe I can change your mind. Not only are they great for the family, but have you
seen them? They're just so adorable.

but it looks like they've stepped up to bigger and badder prey.

which points to their history as badger hunters.
