 Oscar of McLean -- Curious and mischievous, they are very clever and may attempt to train the owner rather than allow the opposite. These little dogs like to bark (their barks are surprisingly loud for their size) and are compulsive diggers. "Dachs" is the German word for badger. The Dachshund was bred to hunt and follow these animals to earth, gradually becoming highly evolved, with shortened legs to dig the prey out and go down inside the burrows.
