Dackle

The dachshund ( /ˈdæksənd/ or /ˈdɑːkshʊnt/ DAHKS-huunt or /ˈdɑːksənt/;) 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 miniature dachshund was developed to hunt smaller prey such as rabbits. In the American West they have also been used to hunt prairie dogs. According to the AKC, the dachshund continues to remain one of the top 10 dog breeds in the United States.
