Would you say this dachshund is a little too long? I ask this question because one or two people seem to think he is. I wonder why this species of dog is shaped like a sausage? I am guessing it is to squeeze into tight holes? One friend mentioned recently that they are bred for hunting badgers, but I don't believe they would be a match for a badger, at least not the sausage dogs iv'e come across in the past. Most of them seem to prefer being carried by large ladies in fur coats rather than walking. Maybe it is beagle dogs that go after badgers? I could believe that at least, they seem to be built a bit tougher. But what is the purpose of a sausage dog then? Are they relatives of the beagle that can squeeze into tighter holes for smaller creatures such as mice or snakes? If you have any knowledge about these strange creatures please comment below, it would be good to know.
