29-11-2019 / THE FCI Standard No. 148 DASHOUND Shorthair Longhair Roughhair Translation Dick Rutten FCI - Standard Nr. 148 Dachshund ORIGIN: Germany DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE APPLICABLE ORIGINAL STANDARD: 04-09-2019 USE: Hunting dog for above and below ground CLASS CLASSIFICATION FCI: Group 4 Dachshunds. With work trial. BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY:. The Dachshund, also called Dackel or Dachshund, has been known since the Middle Ages. Dogs were successively bred from beagles that were especially suitable for hunting under the ground. From these short-legged dogs, the Dachshund was selected, which is recognized as one of the most versatile hunting and utility dog breeds. He also demonstrates excellent performance above ground, such as hunting loudly on tracks, pushing game and sweating. The oldest Dachshund breed club is the German Dachshund Club, recognized and founded in 1888. The Dachshund has been bred for many decades in 3 different sizes (dachshund, dwarf dachshund and kaninchendashond) and in 3 different hair varieties (short-haired, wire-haired and long-haired), so in nine varieties.

MEASUREMENTS Chest circumference is measured when the dog is at least 15 months old, from the highest point of the withers to the deepest point of the chest (with a slightly stretched measuring tape). Standard Dachshund Chest: Males: from 37 cm – to 47 cm Bitches: from 35 cm – to 45 cm Dwarf Dachshund Chest: Males: from 32 cm – to 37 cm Bitches: from 30 cm – to 35 cm Kaninchendasdog Chest: Males: from 27 cm – up to 32 cm Bitches: from 25 cm – up to 30 cm FAULTS Any deviation from the foregoing points is to be considered a fault, the seriousness with which the fault is to be rated must be exactly proportionate to the degree of the deviation and the effect on the dog's health and well-being, as well as its ability to perform its original job. M3 (Molar 3) is not taken into account when judging. The lack of two PM1 (premolar1) cannot be regarded as a fault. The absence of one PM2 should be considered a fault if no other teeth (except M3) are missing, as should a deviation from a correctly closing scissor bite, such as a pincer bite. SERIOUS FAULTS • Weak, long-legged or dragging stature. • Tooth defects other than those described under faults or disqualifying faults. • Glass eyes in any color other than the mottled. • Pointed, strongly folded ears. • Body hanging between shoulders. • Saddle back, carp back. • Weak member party. • Strongly overbuilt dog (croup above the withers). • Chest too weak. • Greyhound-like tucked up flanks. • Badly angulated front and rear. • Narrow, moderately muscled hindquarters. • Cow hocks or bow legs. • Feet turned inwards or too much outwards. • Splayed toes. • Slow, clumsy, waddling movement. SERIOUS FAULTS COAT Shorthaired Dachshund • Coat too fine or thin. Bald spots on ears (leather ear), other bald spots. • Coat much too coarse and much too long. • Bushy tail. • Tail completely or partially hairless. Wirehaired Dachshund: • Soft coat, either long or short. • Long coat, standing out from body in all directions. • Curly or wavy coat. • Soft hair on the head. • Flag at the tail. • Missing beard. • Missing undercoat. • Short hair. Long Haired Dachshund: • Coat of even length all over the body. • Wavy or shaggy coat. • Missing flag (tail). • Lack of overhanging feathering on ears. • Short hair. • Pronounced fur separation on back. • Hair too long between the toes. DISQUALIFYING ERRORS • Aggressive or overly fearful dog. • Any dog clearly showing physical or behavioral abnormalities. • Untypical breed representative. • Under or over biting, crooked jaws. • Incorrect positioning of the lower canine teeth. • Missing one or more canines or one or more incisors. • Missing other premolars or molars. Exceptions: the two PM1 or one PM2 without taking into account the M3, as listed under "Errors" • Chest: Sternum knocked off. • Any tail error. • Very loose shoulders. • Overknocking in the wrist. • Black or brown color without fire, white color with or without fire. • Colors and color patterns other than those listed under "Color and Color Patterns".
