For more than a century, their irresistible puppy-dog eyes have been winning over people's hearts around the world, making the dachshund one of the most beloved dog breeds. But these small dogs are capable of far more than charm. Originally bred as hunting dogs and once the favorite of European royalty, dachshunds have proven to be remarkably versatile companions. Today, they take on surprising tasks — like Strolchi, a miniature dachshund trained to detect woodworm infestations in monasteries, churches, and historic libraries.
This film offers an intimate and entertaining portrait of the breed. Along the way, the documentary raises an intriguing question: is this iconic “German” dog perhaps far more European than we think?
