Small, intelligent, and extremely strong-willed
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?
