A breed of dog developed in Germany starting around
1600. The breed took almost 100 years to develop but is being ruined in
modern times by people who
cross breed them with any type of dog. The breed is also being affected by owners of puppy mills who sell dogs with genetic defects.
Dachshunds are very loyal to their owners and don't take to strangers unless they are socialized.
Shady Bob wanted to get in the dog
breeding business. He had a male Dachshund and a female Pekinese. He
bred the two and sold them as Longhaired Dachshunds to
gullible people.
