My Doggy Toby is often a daschund (I don't know if I'm spelling that appropriately). Somebody spelled out once that dashchunds (probably if I spell it in different ways each time, I will get it right a person of many times) had been originally bred to hunt and destroy gophers. https://martinqpkfz.thechapblog.com/32797635/opie-the-opossum
