Wirehaired Dachshund
Coat
-
With the exception of jaw, eyebrows, and ears, the whole body is covered with a uniform tight, short, thick, rough, hard, outer coat but with finer, somewhat softer, shorter hairs (undercoat) everywhere distributed between the coarser hairs.
-
The absence of an undercoat is a fault.
-
The distinctive facial furnishings include a beard and eyebrows
-
On the ears the hair is shorter than on the body, almost smooth.
-
The general arrangement of the hair is such that the wirehaired Dachshund, when viewed from a distance, resembles the smooth.
- Any sort of soft hair in the outercoat, wherever found on the body, especially on the top of the head, is a fault.
- The same is true of long, curly, or wavy hair, or hair that sticks out irregularly in all directions.
Tail
- Robust, thickly haired, gradually tapering to a point.
- A flag tail is a fault.
Color of Hair
- While the most common colors are wild boar, black and tan, and various shades of red, all colors are admissible.
- >A small amount of white on the chest, although acceptable, is not desirable.
Nose and nails
- Same as for the smooth variety.
