3. The thoroughbred puppy of a dachshund has to have a nozhnitseobrazny bite, gums and language – to have pink color. Pribyly fingers are considered as marriage, as well as too long or too short paws. Ears have the rounded-off form, many folds on them should not be. Pay attention to paws, they should not be too thin, and the puppy already has to look stocky. At the same time it has to have an equal back – without small humps and deflections.

The dachshund should have no white marks or spots, "shirtfronts" or "socks". The lack of podpal at a black color belongs to signs of "metises" and also a spotty "kabany" color for gladkoshersty dachshunds.
