Dachshunds are indispensable helpers in the forest and at home
Dachshunds are cute dogs, often called sausages, for their unusually elongated bodies on short legs. Anyone who interacted with such a baby noticed their proud bearing and unusually lively mind. But were they always so cute and funny?
1. Breeding
In fact, the progenitor of the dachshund is considered to be a short hound. Despite the fact that it was called a hunting marriage, this breed possessed irreplaceable hunting qualities.:
• The ability to chase game long and quietly
• Point at her with your voice
• Hold in place until hunters arrive
• Short paws facilitated the penetration of burrows, and hares considered dachshunds and their ancestors less dangerous than their longer-legged counterparts, and therefore were in no hurry to escape.
When the victim tried to hide in the hole, the dachshund's long nose penetrated deep into the hole and unmistakably sniffed out which branch the animal was hiding in. And the clear voice was already helping the hunter decide where to dig. Thus, the prey was trapped without a chance to escape.
All these qualities were appreciated by hunters, and therefore the dachshunds were especially protected and bred so as not to be left without useful friends. This attitude gradually formed their own importance in dogs, and most of the representatives of the breed did not rush thoughtlessly at the game, but only stayed close to it, which also played a positive role in increasing the population.
2. The transition from hunters to watchmen
Gradually, the need for exclusively hound qualities began to fade. By the end of the 19th century, the number of individuals with a tough and violent temper had decreased to 5% of the breed. This happened due to the fact that the need for hunting as a means of obtaining food has decreased, and hunting has become more entertaining.
And yet, the breeding of dachshunds has not only not decreased, but also blossomed with new colors.
And the reason was the other side of these dogs. After all, dachshunds are not only hunters, but also defenders: their clear voice and excellent guard instinct have made them indispensable.
By the 21st century, many colors have been developed, but the following remain the main subspecies of the breed:
• rabbit dachshund
• standard fee
• A dwarf dachshund.
Standard and rabbit dogs remain dogs, with a greater focus on hunting. A dwarf dachshund can be called a pet.
Due to such a rich breed, Dachshunds were even assigned to an independent group according to the international cynological classification.
