TOPPER 1,809 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 the clues in the name dachs [badger] hund [dog] not bunny dog better of with a whippet 1 Quote Link to post
Bullcat 12 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 I was more thinking of using them as you do ferrets. Is that possible? I've got no idea about dachshunds. I once read somewhere that they use them like that in Europe. So I'm wondering which type they use as I'm thinking that the wirehaired type would be the popular choice??? Quote Link to post
waidmann 105 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 The smallest dwarf teckel are called rabbit teckel ( teckel being the name for WORKING dachshunde) Never worked one on rabbits myself but have known quite a few dwarf work fox and follow the red trail very well. Dwarf and rabbit teckel DO NOT KNOW HOW SMALL THEY ARE and are just as passionate as any other working dog. Waidmannsheil!! Quote Link to post
