Once royal hunting dogs, they now take on unusual jobs—like Strolchi, a miniature dachshund who sniffs out woodworm in historic buildings. The bond between humans and dachshunds goes back to Celtic times. Archaeologists have even found joint burials of people and dachshund-like dogs.

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