Reader correspondence asks if the dachshund is a hunting dog and about its origin. Answers describe the breed as an ancient true hound used in Europe for digging foxes and game from holes, noting its tenacity but limited use in the U.S. due to size and obedience. The page also covers questions on government, promissory notes, geology periods, tuberculosis treatments, traveling to Canada, diamond testing, and a constitutional issue.
