Dachshund are dogs low on legs, compact, vigorous and of good musculature. The head is graceful, with a rather flat skull and the lightest possible stop: the less it is accentuated, the better. There are three varieties of size (standard, miniature and Kaninchen, that is to say "rabbit"), which are in turn divided into sub-varieties of hair (long, short and wire).
