"The Dachshund probably originated in Germany in the early 1600s. The breed\u2019s streamlined shape and bold attitude were developed and perfected to help them hunt, and eventually to fight, badgers and other mammals deep within their underground dens. The badger was a formidable adversary, especially to a small dog.  Badger-dogs needed strength, stamina, keenness and courage, both above and below ground, to be successful.   Dachshunds were well-suited to this task.  Packs of Dachshunds also were used to hunt wild boar, foxes, deer, ermine, weasel and rabbits."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
