Bo-Dach

There is not much information about the Bo-Dach history due to the fact that it has not been around long. However, the parent breed histories can help put the Bo-Dach characteristics in perspective. The Boston Terrier has been around since the 1800s and originated in Boston. The most common explanation is that the Boston Terrier was interbred by coachmen who worked for the wealthy. They bred their Bulldogs with their employers’ English Terriers and the breed may have also been mixed with the French Bulldog as well. Some say the breed was originally bred for fighting but since it is not an aggressive dog, this is unlikely. The Boston Terrier was accepted by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1893 and they are the 21st most popular breed in the United States. The Dachshund originated in the 1500s to flush badgers. In fact, their name comes from two German words, which are dachs, which means badger and hund, which means hound. These little dogs would follow the badgers into their burrows and pull them out. The original Dachshund has a short-haired smooth coat but there are a few other types and two sizes. These include the standard or miniature smooth short-haired, wire-haired, and long-haired. The original Dachshund is thought to have been bred from a miniature Pinscher and a miniature French Pointer. However, others believe that it was bred from the St. Hubert hound and the German Stoberhund. With the history of these two breeds, the Bo-Dach is likely to be a tough and hard-working dog that likes to hunt small animals but is also a gentle pet for your family.
