Breed Description
- Hound
Group
-
- Appearance
- Low
to ground, long in body and short of leg with robust muscular development,
the skin is elastic and pliable without excessive wrinkling. Appearing
neither crippled, awkward, nor cramped in his capacity for movement, the
Dachshund is well-balanced with bold and confident head carriage and
intelligent, alert facial expression. His hunting spirit, good nose, loud
tongue and distinctive build make him well-suited for below-ground work and
for beating the bush. His keen nose gives him an advantage over most other
breeds for trailing.
