Their clownish behavior, unwavering loyalty, and go get ’em attitude has made this breed exceptionally popular throughout the world. These spunky little dogs come in a variety of sizes, with the largest specimens reaching nearly thirty pounds in size and the smallest topping out at just ten pounds or so. They have three distinct coat types to choose from—smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired. This is a fearless little breed, developed hundreds of years ago in Germany to track and hunt animals that went to ground, like badgers, and pull them out of their dens.
