Bred and shown in two sizes, standard and miniature.The long-haired Dachshund is an old, fixed sub-variety of the "Teckel", and its history extends back to the beginning of Teckel breeding. The breed is full of character. quick in attack and defense, faithful when properly brought up, and very obedient. All the senses are well developed. It has the reputation of being extraordinarily intelligent and easy to train.
