More on our little badger dogs...
I was reading an article from the UK about dachshunds, and they of course referenced how the Germans used them to eliminate badgers (scary enough, those things are MEAN!).
I was surprised to read our little guys also hunted something else:
"Although this breed started out being used to eliminate badgers, the German foresters discovered that in packs, the dachshund could also hunt wild boar. The breed turned out to be far more versatile than had been originally planned."
Wild boar? Are you kidding me? No wonder they are so fearless, considering what their ancestors did!
