Dachshund

The Dachshund is an elongated, vigorous, muscular dog with short legs. It carries itself proudly and has an intelligent expression. It has an elongated head and a slight convex skull, arched and protruding eyebrows, a long muzzle, robust jaws with non-pendent lips, and a pincers or scissors bite with extremely strong canine teeth (Dachshunds usually have 42 teeth). Its eyes are oval, dark red or brown-black with an energetic and friendly expression. Its ears are mobile and hanging long on its cheeks. Its body should have a strong protruding sternum and a moderately retracted abdomen. Its tail is carried in line with its back. The short-haired Dachshund's coat should be shiny, sleek and uniform.

Dachshunds have a wide color variety. The colors I have are as follows: black, red (deep auburn). I also have piebalds they can be bi-colored. They can have a white body with patches of one or two solid colors, as in red on white, or black on white also chocolate on white. The patches may range from a few spots to covering over 50 percent of the body. There may be ticking throughout the white areas.
