What are the different types of coats a Dachshund can have? Basic Terminology Smooth, Long hair and Wirehair, all 3 coat types come in 2 sizes, standard and Miniature. Genetical Terminology: Dogs will normally carry 2 copies of their own coat being WW, SS or LL. W - If a Dachshund carries the Wire Coat Gene then it will always be a dominate gene. (If only one dog carries W then it will be a wire, however if it carries one 2 coats then it will produce recessive smooths or longhaired dachshunds. S - A smooth coat is also a dominate and will dominate longhair. For example if a dog has S and L gene it will pass on its S to the puppies with also having the chance to have recessive longhaired puppies. L - Longhaired coat is a recessive gene from both W and S. For example if a puppy is a Longhaired then it carriers 2 copies of the longhaired gene making it a LL. Chino Short Haired Dachshund Major Long H...
