We bred AKC dachshunds for years.
Had two braces over the duration.

Actually for no reason of their own they were alienated when the British were at war with germany. Lots of anti dachshund cartoons and commentary - how could you have one messages everywhere.

While living in London my family obtained a short haired black and tan dachshund. Because we were in london he was Named Nigel.

Lster when we toured Germany with him the germans were quite amused.
"that is not a german name"

Just shows how prejudices can get in the way of a good thing just as people have more to their being and worth than their politics reveals.

Dachshunds are great. We are taking a break to travel to places that ban dogs but will be back into them some day. Only drawback is that they are obsessed with bagers (Dachs) and can not resist a hole.
I could never get the ten guys who are needed to dig them out in event of collapse
