How many types of wiener dogs are there?

Answer 1

The Dachshund comes in three coat types, two sizes, and many different colors. The three coat types are longhaired, smooth (short-haired), and wire-haired. The longhaired and wirehaired Dachshunds take much longer to groom and shedding is more obvious. However, the smooth breed does shed, so don't be fooled by what some people may tell you. The smooth Dachshund will need to be brushed too! These three coat types come in two sizes--standard and miniature. A miniature weighs eleven pounds or less and a standard weighs between sixteen and thirty-two pounds. Anything in between is called a "tweenie" and is not recognized as an actual size. Tweenies weigh more than eleven pounds but less than sixteen. Dachshunds come in many different colors and patterns. There are five patterns. The first one is solid, and can be red or cream-colored. Two-colored dachshunds can be black and tan; chocolate and tan; blue (gray) and tan; Isabella (fawn) and tan; and wild boar and tan. A brindle will have dark stripes all over the body or only in the tan parts. A single-dapple Dachshund has patches of lighter coat on the darker coat. A single-dapple Dachshund can have blue eyes and a large area of white on its chest. A double-dapple Dachshund will have patches of light color, dark color, and white and can have blue eyes. A piebald dachshund has a white coat with large patches of color. Take note, however, that a double-dapple Dachshund is prone to blindness or deafness.
