They’re small, clever, and incredibly strong-willed: dachshunds. Their soulful gaze wins hearts and fuels their lasting popularity. Once royal hunting dogs, they now take on unusual jobs—like Strolchi, a miniature dachshund who sniffs out woodworm in historic buildings.

Beloved far beyond Germany, dachshunds have fans in France too, with events like Paris’s “Sausage Walk.”
