Long Dachshund

Stretch out and color this long-bodied Dachshund standing on very short legs, its low body reaching across the page with long droopy ears, a pointed snout, a slim tail, and a cheerful smiling face. The unmistakable sausage shape gives one big, friendly outline that is easy and fun to fill in, making it great for kids of all ages. Dachshunds were bred in Germany to chase badgers down narrow burrows, which is exactly why they have such a long, low build and brave little personalities. Color the coat in classic reddish-brown or a black-and-tan pattern, and use the long body as room to experiment with shading. The droopy ears and pointed snout are the details that capture this breed's sweet expression. Print it on US Letter or A4 and let this lovable hot-dog of a pup show off your colors from nose to tail.
