The dachshund is a short-legged, long bodied dog breed belonging to the hound family. The standard size dachshund was bred to scent, chase, and flush out badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals, while the mini dachshund was developed to hunt smaller prey such as rabbits. In the American West they have also been used to hunt prairie dogs. Today, they are bred for conformation shows and as family pets. According to the AKC, the dachshund continues to remain one of the top ten dog breeds in the United States.
All I know is that I am happy Jake came into my life. I have a love for dogs that I never experienced before. Since learning what I have over the last year +, I now notice every dog anywhere I go, I have to go up to them and look at their face, pet them if allowed, and talk to them. Each dog has such a unique personality and a sweet face. I now understand why people love their dogs so deeply. Jake is a member of my family and I love him more than I ever imagined I could.
I think I'll go hug him right now!
