Dachshund
The dachshund ( or or 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dachshund - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary )〕 (Swedish English) is a short-legged, long-bodied dog breed belonging to the hound family. The standard size dachshund was developed to scent, chase, and flush out badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals, while the miniature dachshund was bred to hunt smaller prey such as rabbits. In the United States, they have also been used to track wounded deer and hunt prairie dogs. Dachshunds also participate in conformation shows, field trials and many other events organized through pure bred dog organizations such as the American Kennel Club (AKC). According to the AKC, the dachshund remains one of the top 10 dog breeds in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.akc.org/news/the-most-popular-dog-breeds-in-america/ )〕
==Etymology==
The name "dachshund" is of German origin and literally means "badger dog", from ''Dachs'' ("badger") and ''Hund'' ("hound, dog"). The pronunciation varies widely in English: variations of the first and second syllables include , and , , . Although "dachshund" is a German word, in modern German they are more commonly known by the name ''Dackel'' or, among hunters, ''Teckel''. The German word is pronounced (:ˈdakshʊnt).〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Duden )〕
Because of their long, narrow build, they are often nicknamed wiener dog or sausage dog.
