Dachshunds were bred for dragging Badgers out of their burrows and are better at doing that than the Jack Russel, which is a highly effective vermin dog, or the Shepherd which is way too big to fit down a Badger burrow.I've had 3 dachshunds
They're amazing. Better than Jack Russell or Shepherd
Nice dogs, but you don't see all that many Dachshunds used for security, personal protection, or herding, nor for leading the blind, sniffing cancer, bird hunting, locating lost children, etc, et al, so I would hesitate suggesting they are the best overall.
