THE HOUND GROUP

Smooth Coated Dachshund - Standard

Example of the breed given by Eastern Counties DA.

Extract from the Eastern Counties D.A. pages ----
"The origins of the Dachshund can be traced back to working dogs that could go to ground after game such as badgers. Today, the breed, which is characterised as "long, low and level", is popular both as a show dog and pet".------"Dachshunds are still used by some people for working; typically tracking fallen deer, and these are often called Teckels. They tend to be slighter in body and longer in the leg than "show" Dachshunds, but are highly regarded for their working ability and "good noses".-----"Smooth-haireds are the "traditionally recognised" Dachshund."----- "Standard Smooths are perhaps more "one-person" dogs" -----"Their coats are short and dense, with a velvet texture and require little maintenance
Colours are Black & Tan and Red. Chocolate and Dapple are also possible.

Problems

Because of their long backs, there is obviously a greater risk of slipped disk problems than in a "normal" shaped dog.
