How to look at the Dachshund’s character To look at the Dachshund’s character, first look at the Dachshund’s body type. A Dachshund of good character has a long, slender body, short limbs, and a straight back without bending down. Then look at the Dachshund’s coat, the Dachshund with good character has a soft and shiny coat that feels good to the touch. The hair is black and brown intermingled, if the hair on the chest has white or white spots then the breed is poor. The last thing to look at is the character of the Dachshund, the Dachshund with good character, the character is more quiet, well-behaved. It will not be as lively as other dogs, or even around to do damage.
