Dachshunds

Dachshunds is an old hunting breed, ment for hunting game that lives underground - foxes, badgers and so on. But.. the usual, standard dachshunds were too big for hunting rabbits in their dens and Germany has a lot of rabbits. So a smaller version was created, with chest circumference up to 30 cm - kaninchen dachshunds. In the beginning of 1900s, the wirehaired and smoothaired versions got an addition - longhaired. Now there are dachshunds in three measures - up to 30, between 30-35 and more than 35 cm of chest cirumference. And all of them in all three different types of coat - wire, smooth and long-haired. 

Longharied variety is the most laid back by character - this is thanks to the breeds that were used for introducing the long coat. But to guess that therefor there is no hunting instinct in them - is very wrong. They do have all the same instincts and skills that both other coat varieties, just they act out a bit more laid back.
