Dachshund?

[Introduction]

Long body, close to the ground, short legs, energetic and muscular, elastic and flexible skin, no wrinkles. His mobility doesn't look lame, clumsy or difficult. Self-confident, very harmonious and clear, smart and alert facial expression. When hunting, he relies on his nose, loud voice and distinctive body structure, which makes him suitable for working underground or in bushes. His keen sense of smell makes him far superior to other varieties. Note: because it is a hound, scar is a symbol of glory and is not regarded as a defect.

[body type]

Dachshunds can be divided into two sizes, standard and mini. Small dogs are not classified separately in breeding and dog show, but in competition, dogs with "1 1 lbs, 1 month and above" will be classified separately. The standard model weighs about 16~32 kg.

[head]

Seen from the top or side, the head is tapered (tapering towards the tip of the nose).

Eyes: medium size, almond-shaped, dark circles, pleasant and comfortable expression; Eyes are not sharp; The color is very dark.

Bilianggu: (covering his eyes) Very powerful and prominent. Except for spotted dachshunds, the appearance of color rings in eyes is a very serious defect.

Ears: very close to the top of the head, not too forward, medium length, round, not too narrow, not too pointed or folded. Ears droop, and when moving, the front edge of the ear sticks to the cheek and becomes a part of the face.

Head: slightly arched, isn't it? Too wide, not too narrow, gradually inclined, after a slight but perceptible pause, transition to a delicate, slightly arched tone. Black is the preferred color for nasal speculum. The lips extend tightly and cover the mandible. Open your nose. The mouth can be opened wide, the joint between the chin and the skull is located under the eyes, and the bones and teeth are very strong.

Teeth: strong canine teeth, tight teeth, scissors bite. The pincer bite is a small defect, and other bites are serious defects.

[neck, topline, body]

Neck, long, muscular, neat, fat-free, slightly arched at the back of the neck, smoothly integrated into the shoulders.

Trunk: The trunk is long and muscular. From the outline, the back (from the withers to the short and slightly arched waist) should be as straight as possible. It is a serious defect that the body hangs loosely on the scapula. Abdomen: slightly lifted.

[precursor]

In order to work more effectively underground, the forequarters must be strong, thick and tidy. The ideal front is: chest. The sternum protrudes forward so strongly that both sides collapse or sag. Seen from the front, the chest is oval and extends down to the middle of the forearm. Surrounded by well-supported ribs, the ribs are oval and plump, creating enough space for the full development of the heart and lungs. The bottom line of the chest gradually melts into the abdomen and extends completely beyond the forelimbs. From the outline, the deepest part of the chest floor is covered by forelimbs. Scapula. Long, wide, leaning backward, firmly leaning on the plump chest, the withers of the horse are very close, and the muscles are hard and elastic. Upper arm. Ideally, it is the same length as the scapula, at right angles to the scapula, leaning back, close to the ribs, and the elbow close to the body, but it can move freely. Forearm. The short, anterior and lateral muscles are hard but flexible, while the medial and dorsal tendons extend closely and bend slightly inward. The joint (wrist) distance between forearm and paw is shorter than that between shoulder joint, so the front looks not very straight; Excessive joints are disqualifications. Feet. The forefoot is plump, tight and compact, the toes are moderately arched, and the foot pad is very hard and thick. The claws may all tilt slightly outward. There are five toes, four toes are useful, closely combined, round and strong, and the toenails are short. The forelimb wolf claws can be removed.

[Hip]

Strong and muscular. The ideal structure of pelvis, first femur, second femur and metatarsal bone is that they are all the same length and connected at multiple continuous right angles. Seen from the back, the thighs are strong and powerful. The legs are neither bent inward nor turned outward.

Metatarsal bone: short and strong, perpendicular to the second thigh bone. Seen from the back, they are vertical and parallel to each other.

Foot claw (rear claw): smaller than the front claw, with four toes closely connected, arched and thick foot pad. The whole paw is straight forward, and the whole paw is a harmonious sphere, not just a toe. The hind wolf claws can be removed.

Hip: long, round and full, slightly submerged in the obvious tail.

Tail: It is located on the extension line of the spine, without twisting or obvious bending, and it is not very happy to lift.

[gait]

Smooth, smooth. The forelimbs are well stretched forward, and the legs should not be lifted too high, which is in harmony with the driving action of the hindquarters. The correct shoulder structure and right elbow allow the pace to stretch and take a big step. From the front, the forelimbs do not move on absolutely parallel planes, but slightly inward to offset the influence of short legs and chest width. The driving action of the hind limb is in line with the forelimb, and the hock joint (metatarsal) neither bends inward nor everts outward. The driving force of hind legs mainly depends on whether he can fully stretch his hind legs. Viewed from the side, the extent to which the hind legs extend forward is consistent with the extent to which they extend backward. The correct action of the rear pedal is that the rear foot pad is clearly visible during the whole backward extension process. Feet should be parallel to the direction of travel, and can't swing, traverse or interfere with each other. Short-paced, undulating movements, swinging leg-lifting gait, coming or passing, being too close or too far are all mistakes. A dachshund must have lively, stretching movements and endurance to complete his work.

[temperament]

Dachshunds are smart, lively, brave and a little reckless. They are indomitable when working on the ground or underground, and all their senses are very developed. Any shyness is a serious defect.

[coat, color]

There are three different coat types for dachshunds: (1) short coat type, (2) bristle type and (3) long coat type.

There are two specifications, standard and mini, and all of them have the above three hairstyles. All the features described below include two different specifications.

Short hair type: the coat is short, smooth and smooth. Neither too long nor too thin. Ears cannot be like leather. ?

Tail: tapering to the tip of the tail, but not too much hair. The hair of the lower abdomen is long and smooth, and some hairs are thick and not a defect. A brush-like tail is a defect, as is a whole or part of a hairless tail.

Hair color: Although the basic color is not important, the determined style and basic color still dominate. Monochrome, red (with or without scattered dark brown shadows) and cream. A little white on the chest is allowed, but not ideal. Nose mirror and toenails are all black. ?

Two colors, including black, chocolate, wild boar, gray (blue) and camel (Isabella brown), each have brown stripes, which extend to the tail 1/3 to 65438. Inappropriate protrusion or too light brown stripes are not ideal. A little white on the chest is allowed, but not ideal. Nose mirror and toenails, black dogs are black; Dogs of chocolate and other colors are dark brown, but their own colors are acceptable.

Speckle color, "single speckle" pattern, obvious light speckle range, intersecting with deep background color, can be any possible color. Light and dark colors are not dominant. Nose mirrors and toenails are the same as monochrome sausages or bicolor sausages. The color of part or the whole eye is blue (the colored ring in the eye), which is as acceptable as dark eyes. Allow a large area of white stripes on the chest, used for striped sausages.

"Double stripes" means that there are different numbers of white stripes on the striped sausage body, and the nose mirror and toenails are the same as single-color sausage or double-color sausage. Part or part of its own color is also acceptable.

Stripe pattern (contrast color) has black or dark stripes all over the body, although some striped dachshunds can only see brown stripes. ?

Bristle type: Except the mandible, eyebrows and ears, the coat is covered with a uniform, compact, short, thick, rough and hard outer coat, and fine and soft short hairs (bottom hairs) are distributed in the rough coat. Insufficient undercoat is a defect. Typical facial hair includes beard and eyebrows. The hair on the ears is shorter than the hair on the body and almost smooth. From a distance, the hair arrangement of the bristled dachshund and the short-haired dachshund is roughly the same. If there is some soft hair, whether it is on the body, especially on the top of the head, it is a defect. Correct hair length, curly hair or wavy hair are all the same. Hair is in irregular strips, pointing in different directions. ?

Tail: strong, thick hair, tapering to the top. A flat tail is a defect.

Coat color: most of the colors are wild boar color, black, brown, red with different shades, and any color is ok. A little white chest is acceptable, but not ideal. Nose mirror and toenail: the same short hair type.

Long hair type: the coat is smooth, shiny and slightly wavy, with long hair on the neck, chest, lower body, ears and legs. This coat gives him an elegant appearance. Ear hair is not ideal. Too much and rich hair, forming a mask, uniform hair length throughout the body, curly coat, or obvious differences in the back are all defects.

Tail: Hold it gently, on the extension line of the spine. The hair reaches the optimal length and forms a flag shape. ?

Coat color: same as short-haired dachshund. Nose mirror and toenails: like a short-haired dachshund.

Note: All the above descriptions are ideal sausages, and all deviations from the above descriptions are defects, and points will be deducted according to whether the deviation is important and whether it violates the purpose of cultivating different types of this variety. ?

[disqualification]

The joints are outside the front legs.
