Dachshund is the 13th most popular of 194 dog breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club.
Dachshunds are bred with three coat varieties: smooth, long, and wire-haired, and come in two sizes: standard and miniature.
Each dachshund’s coat has a specific purpose: the wire-haired coat protects the dog in the thorny underbrush, the long-haired one is ideal for water, and the smooth coat allows the dog to glide through underground tunnels in pursuit of game.
