Meaning of the Dachshund Pet Crest
The symbolism of the Dachshund Crest begins at the top of the representation. This displays the German Coat-of-Arms, and the castle that symblolizes the Dachshunds native background. The center shield shows a watercolor head study of the breed. The standards on either side of the shield depict hunters of the eighteenth century. At the base of the shield rests the desired prey of the Dachshund; the badger.
