Wired haired dachshunds
With the exceptions of jaw, eyebrows, and ears, the whole body is covered
with a uniform tight, short thick, rough, hard outer coat but with a finer,
somewhat softer, softer hairs undercoat. The absence of an undercoat is
considered a fault. They look like they have 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 when viewed from a distance looks like a
smooth. Any short hair in the outer coat is considered a fault. Also any long
curly, or wavy hair is considered a fault. Their tail is robust, thickly haired,
gradually tapering to a point. Color of Hair- While the most common colors
are wild boar, black and tan, and various shades of red are admissable.
Wild boar appears as banding of the individual hairs and imparts an overall
grizzled effect which is most often seen on wirehaired dachshunds, but may
also appear on other coats. Tan points may or may not be evident.
Variations include red board and chocolate-and -tan boar. Nose, nails and
eye rims are black on wild board and red boar dachshunds. On
chocolate-and-tan dachshunds, nose, nails, eye rims and eyes are
self-colored, the darker the better.
