🐶 The Standard Wirehair Dachshund

Small legs. Big personality. Legendary beard.

🧬

The Coat

Wirehairs sport a thick, coarse double coat with a distinctive beard and bushy eyebrows. They shed less than their smooth-haired cousins and have a charmingly scruffy look that's all personality.

💖

Temperament

Bold, clever, and famously stubborn. Wirehairs are the clowns of the dachshund world — more outgoing and mischievous than the smooth or longhair varieties. They'll make you laugh daily.

🏃

History

Bred in Germany to hunt badgers (Dachs = badger, Hund = dog). The wire coat was developed for tougher terrain and brambles. Standards weigh 16-32 lbs and have the heart of a dog three times their size.
