  4. Not sure if I read this on this dachshund blog but a man from Munich wrote in that the standard Dakels (as they call them) are very large and were the original badger hunters in Germany.

  5. I did find the German man's comments from Munich on this blog "Giant Dachshunds" April 16,2008. I also found pics of other Giant Dachshunds and other people's comments on this blog who own giant dachshunds. Cool that they do exist!!!

    Yes, I do believe it's our 'modern' obsession with making things smaller... hence the mini & the tweenie
