Josh's Coat — Common Questions
What does "chocolate dapple" mean?
A chocolate dapple Dachshund has a chocolate (brown) base coat carrying the dapple pattern, giving it lighter mottled patches across the body. Nose leather and eye rims on chocolate dogs are typically brown rather than black, and eye color can range from dark to lighter amber, sometimes with one or both eyes blue.
What is the difference between long-haired and smooth-haired Dachshunds?
A smooth (shorthair) Dachshund has a short, sleek, close-lying coat that needs very little maintenance — a weekly wipe-down or brush is usually enough. A long-haired Dachshund has a longer, silkier coat with feathering on the ears, chest, legs and tail; that feathering keeps growing and can tangle, so long-haired dogs need regular brushing, especially behind the ears and on the trousers and tail.
How much do Miniature Dachshunds shed?
Dachshunds shed moderately year-round, with heavier seasonal changes. Smooth coats shed short hairs that are easy to lift with a rubber curry or grooming mitt. Long coats shed longer hairs that are more visible on furniture and clothing but are easier to manage with consistent brushing. No Dachshund coat variety is considered hypoallergenic.
