About Miniature Long-Haired Dachshunds
Miniature Long-Haired Dachshund Summary
Breed history
The Miniature Long-Haired Dachshund is a variation of the traditional Dachshund breed, which originated in Germany as a scent hound bred to hunt badgers and burrow-dwelling animals. The long-haired variety is believed to have been developed by crossing standard short-haired Dachshunds with Spaniels to create a softer, more elegant coat and slightly gentler temperament. Miniatures were bred specifically for hunting smaller prey like rabbits and weasels. Today, they are popular companions known for their bold spirit, devotion to family, and unmistakable look — especially with their flowing, feathered coat.
