Dachshund 16 Month 2012 Calendar
Dachshund 16 Month 2012 Calendar. The international name of Dachshund, meaning badger dog, reflects these breeds' original purpose. For the last 100 years they have been bred as earth dogs, the standard size being willing and able to follow badgers and foxes to earth, with the miniature version doing the same with rabbits.
The Dachshund is said to be one of the oldest and longest surviving dogs from ancient times. Ancient Egyptian sculptures show a pharaoh seated with three short-legged dogs. The Dachshund's ancestors may date back to these dwarf dogs. The Smooth-haired Standard is believed to be the oldest Dachshund.
In all, there are three main types of Dachshunds: Smooth, Wire-haired and Long-haired. This wonderful calendar showcases all three varieties in this fabulous large format square wall calendar.FREE STANDARD UK P&P or from just £1.99 for Recorded Delivery!
