The
black
and
tan
thereupon
went
quite
out
of
favour,
and
this
fact,
coupled
with
the
reckless
amount
of
inbreeding
of
red
to
red
that
has
been
going
on
since
Ptero's
day,
accounts
largely
for
the
prevalence
of
light
eyes,
pink
noses,
and
bad-coloured
coats
of
the
Dachshunds,
as
a
class,
to-day.
There
are,
strictly
speaking,
three
varieties
of
Dachshund--(a)
the
short-haired,
(b)
the
long-haired,
and
(c)
the
rough-haired.
Of
these
we
most
usually
find
the
first-named
in
England,
and
they
are
no
doubt
the
original
stock.
Of
the
others,
though
fairly
numerous
in
Germany,
very
few
are
to
be
seen
in
this
country,
and
although
one
or
two
have
been
imported
the
type
has
never
seemed
to
appeal
to
exhibitors.
Both
the
long-haired
and
rough-haired
varieties
have
no
doubt
been
produced
by
crosses
with
other
breeds,
such
as
the
Spaniel
and
probably
the
Irish
Terrier,
respectively.
In
the
long-haired
variety
the
hair
should
be
soft
and
wavy,
forming
lengthy
plumes
under
the
throat,
lower
parts
of
the
body,
and
the
backs
of
the
legs,
and
it
is
longest
on
the
under
side
of
the
tail,
where
it
forms
a
regular
flag
like
that
of
a
Setter
or
Spaniel.
The
rough-haired
variety
shows
strongly
a
terrier
cross
by
his
"varmint"
expression
and
short
ears.
The
Germans
also
subdivide
by
colour,
and
again
for
show
purposes
by
weight.
These
subdivisions
are
dealt
with
in
their
proper
order
in
the
standard
of
points,
and
it
is
only
necessary
to
say
here
that
all
the
varieties,
colours,
and
weights
are
judged
by
the
same
standard
except
in
so
far
as
they
differ
in
texture
of
coat.
At
the
same
time
the
Germans
themselves
do
not
regard
the
dapple
Dachshunds
as
yet
so
fixed
in
type
as
the
original
coloured
dogs,
and
this
exception
must
also
apply
to
the
long
and
the
rough
haired
varieties.
