Westphalian Dachsbracke

The breed was first recognized in the 19th century as a type of German hound used for hunting, but is very rare, even inside of its own country. The small, short legged hound weighs an average of 33 pounds and stands 12 to 15 inches tall. The Westphalian Dachsbracke is a very serious and tenacious hunter but its friendly and loyal temperament also make them a great house companion.
