TITLE

   

Watch dachshunds do what they were bred for! Their long, little bodies are perfectly shaped to fit inside burrows. This group took it upon themselves to make their own!

Badgers are fierce creatures. They have sharp claws and teeth to fight against any intruder that enters their den. Dachshunds are perfect badger fighters. Along with their low bodies, their curved legs and paws help push dirt behind them when they enter dens. They have strong, deep chests that protect their organs from sticks or roots buried in the dirt. Dachshund jaws are strong with large teeth to fight back when a badger attacks.
