While terriers and dachshunds belong to separate classifications, some argue dachshunds should be considered terriers due to their digging nature. Dachshunds were originally bred to scent and flush animals from burrows, with the miniature type developed for rabbits. Dachshunds were popular among European royalty in the 19th century, including with Queen Victoria after being gifted one named Dash by Prince Albert. Both terriers and dachshunds were historically bred for hunting purposes but are now primarily kept as pets.

Terriersanddachshunds
While terriers and dachshunds belong to separate FCI groups, some argue that dachshunds should be classified as terriers due to their digging nature. Terriers were bred to burrow and flush animals from their tunnels, whereas dachshunds were developed to scent rabbits or badgers in burrows. The word "terrier" derives from Latin and French words meaning "earth," referring to their ability to dig. Both breeds are now primarily kept as pets, though terriers were historically used for blood sports and dog shows.
The queen's fritters
1) Spanish armies camped near Granada to reconquer the Moor-controlled city. They attacked Granada but its walls and castles were strong.
2) On All Saints Day, Queen Isabella wanted fritters to eat according to custom, but there were no cooks in the army camp.
3) Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, called the Great Captain, bravely fought the Moors and was a skilled military leader who helped Spain defeat stronger French armies through new engineering tactics.
The bullmastiff
The Bullmastiff breed originated in England in the mid-1800s by crossing the Mastiff and Bulldog to create a dog that could assist gamekeepers in protecting large estates from poachers. Early crosses found a ratio of 60% Mastiff and 40% Bulldog produced a dog with the size and strength of a Mastiff but with the courage and tenacity of a Bulldog. This allowed the Bullmastiff to quietly track and subdue poachers caught on the estates. One famous Bullmastiff named Thorneywood Terror was highly trained and could catch any man given a 10 minute head start in the forest, demonstrating the breed's effectiveness. Their tenacious nature still makes them a challenge for novice owners

Terriersanddachshunds
- 2. Terriers and Dachshunds actually belong to two separate FCI groups. Although they each have their own classification, some argue that the digging nature inherent to Dachshunds should place them in the terrier group. The standard size Dachshund was bred to scent, chase and flush out badgers and other animals living burrows, whereas the miniature dachshund was developed to scent out rabbits.
- 3. Dachshunds have loomed large in the European courts. Prince Albert bought with him a pack of dachshunds when he came to woo and propose to Queen Victoria in 1839, and gave one to the Queen as a gift. Herself possessing the gift of originality, she named him Dash.
- 4. The word terrier derives from the Middle French la terre, from the Latin terra meaning earth. So its current wording basically has the meaning of ‘burrower’. The breed, like so many others, is now primarily bred as a pet, but the terrier has a rich history. In the 18th century the animal’s willingness to fight was exploited in blood sports; later in the 19th Century it was crossed with older purpose-bred dogs for dog shows.
- 5. Nowadays terriers like to pretend to be James Bond and embark on epic adventure holidays. Well, this Welsh Terrier does anyway. Head on to the next level to learn your different Terrier and Dachshund breeds!* *Disclaimer: not all dogs pictured are James Bond wannabes. Sadly.
