Dachshund

These cute dogs won Best of Group at Westminster 11 times, but they were never at the top of the list of the most successful winners. 

Some animal experts believe that the small size of these dog breeds may be their weak point in this competition. But despite their size, these dogs are well known especially for their courageous and brave personality, however, they can be aggressive sometimes but only with strangers and other dogs. Actually, this could be the reason why they won Best of Group at Westminster. 

As you probably know, this dog breed belongs to the category of hunting dogs and even if they are really competitive and smart, their small size may be a disadvantage in such contests. 

According to Walter Jones, a vice president of the Dachshund Club of America, “I think one of the reasons some breeds don’t make it to the end is that they just aren’t the glamour breeds who are so flashy in the group. Dachshunds compete against many larger breeds in the hound group that are simply more impressive.”
