#4 Very energetic, intelligent and loyal, the dachshund by the end of the 17th century more and more won the hearts of the Germans
Active breeding of representatives of this breed began. The number of dachshunds increased very quickly, the first nurseries appeared in Germany, and soon the breed began to spread throughout Europe. There was no single approach to breeding principles at that time. Each breeder solved the problem based on their personal ideas and preferences. As a result, two main directions in breeding gradually developed - working and decorative.
#5 The logical conclusion of the breeding work was the adoption of the first breed standard in 1870.
The main purpose of breeding dachshunds was indicated as hunting. Ten years later, von Bosch developed an artificial burrow structure for training and training dachshunds, and since 1893 this structure has been used for working dog tests. The modern FCI classification distinguishes dachshunds into a separate group with the greatest variability - 9 varieties of the breed are officially recognized and standardized.
#6 “With a sense of dignity, with a strong character and therefore arousing such sympathy,” reads the inscription on the emblem of the German Tekel Club.
This phrase can be safely considered one of the most accurate and capacious characteristics of this animal.
Fearlessness, pronounced individuality, amazing ingenuity, and independence in decision-making, which testifies to high mental abilities - all this is a dachshund.
