They are three times as long as they are tall.
There are three basic kinds of Dachshunds: long haired, short haired, and wire haired.
Body and neck are long and muscular.
Their legs are short but strong and well-boned.
They can be dark red, tan, brown, and black.
Dachshunds are considered the national dog of Germany.
Their name means "hunting dog" in German.
They were originally bred for hunting.
Dachsunds are quite common in the U.S.
They are always very alert (well, not if you catch them in the middle of a snooze).
These cute dogs have a very good sense of smell.
Dachshunds have a bad habit of chewing shoes and rugs... but this can be fixed by giving them appropriate things to chew

I hope that this helped you a little in getting information.
I made this so that people could easily find facts about Dachsunds without going through long
pages of blah...blah...blah...blah...blah.
