Dachshund Adopted A Pig

Grow up a bit, sat on the chain, the apartment will be protected.

The dachshund is a short-legged, elongated dog breed, of the hound family. The standard size was developed to scent, chase, and flush badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals, while the miniature was developed to hunt smaller prey, like rabbits. In the American West, they have also been used to hunt prairie dogs.

The name "dachshund" is of German origin and literally means "badger dog", from Dachs ("badger") and Hund ("dog"). The pronunciation varies widely in English: variations of the first syllable include and of the second syllable. In German it is pronounced . Because of their long, narrow build, they are often nicknamed hot dog, wiener dog or sausage dog. Although "dachshund" is a German word, in modern German they are also commonly known by the name Dackel; in the case of the formally certified hunting and tracking rank, the name Teckel is used.

    There are words missing from paragraphs in this article. For example:

    "The pronunciation varies widely in English: variations of the first syllable include and of the second syllable. In German it is pronounced ."

    I would say this has been stolen from elsewhere, and that the original site had links for audio samples or other type of guide to indicate pronunciation.

  2. who cares? the pictures are still cute, even if i only appreciate pigs for their bacon
