Dachshund fun facts

Fun Facts:

A Dachshund was the first ever Olympic mascot! The concept for Waldi the Olympic dog was born at the 1972 Munich Games Organizing Committee Christmas Party in 1969 (say that 10 times fast!).

Dog historians argue about whether the Daschund was first seen in an Ancient Egypt sculpture of a pharaoh with three dogs or in the Middle Ages in Germany, but suffice to say these lil' weiner dogs have been around for at least several hundred years.

Dachshunds literally mean "Badger dog" in German, as the breed was developed in 17th century Germany to use scent to train and hunt animals such as badgers and foxes. Dachshunds are true dwarfs.
