“My husband always wanted a wire-haired dachshund because this breed is perfect for hunting, but I refused for a long time,” says Maria Wolfsgruber from Neukirchen near Altmünster. The now 54-year-old had a good reason for her aversion to this breed of dog: “During my apprenticeship as a saleswoman, I always had to take my boss’s fat, unkempt and unmannered wire-haired dachshund for a walk and then drag him up to the third floor. Because I thought it was so terrible, I never wanted a dachshund.”

So the couple got a Bavarian Mountain Hound. After he died, Klaus Wolfsgruber didn’t let up, he wanted a wire-haired dachshund as a hunting companion. “I was persuaded to go to a breeder and when I saw Bella, it was a big deal for me,” says the Traunviertler. “She looked at me so sadly that I couldn’t help but take her with me.” And soon her dislike for this breed turned into affection. “Now I say: once a dachshund, always a dachshund, I wouldn’t take any other dog.”
