leistungszeichen & translations
These abbreviations for working dogs, called Leistungszeichen , were developed in Germany.  Leistungs = "achievements" and Zeichen = "signs"/"marks"; thus, "signs/marks of achievements".  Leistungszeichen were/are added to the end of a dachshund's full name when it has been observed more than a couple of times to perform such marks of working achievement.
