Description

Magnolia Mae is my daughter's Long Haired Dachshund and this is a photo of her as a puppy. She is such a bright, cheerful little dog who loves everyone (except the squirrels!). Photographed in Williamsburg, Virginia.

"Dachshund History: Tiny and Tough Tunneling Pups
The Dachshund’s origin dates back to Germany, where these short-legged hounds emerged about 600 years ago. Like all hounds, they were used for hunting, specifically for chasing down badgers and rabbits. Dachshunds were tunneling dogs—designed to dig the petite prey out of their dens (in fact, the word “dachshund” means badger dog in German), and they were prized for their keen noses, their stick-to-itiveness and tracking abilities. Along with that came a big personality, including such loved traits as their bravery, loyalty, obedience (a must in hunting breeds) and friendliness.

Doxie dogs first came to the U.S. in the 1880s and, for a time during World War I, were known as Liberty dogs. They were popular from the get-go, often appearing in the top 10 breeds, although they now rank 12 in popularity, according to the American Kennel Club."
