Queen Victoria loved Dachshunds, Kaiser Wilhelm II’s dachshund was buried beside him, and Queen Margrethe, of Denmark, appealed for help when her dachsie Zenobie, went missing, and thousands of her subjects searched forests waving sausages, but sadly he was never found. Napoleon Bonaparte, J.D. Salinger and Plato also loved the breed.
Picasso’s dachshund, Lump, is said to have inspired his work, and David Hockney’s dachshunds have featured in his paintings.
