\nwhiskers and bushy eyebrows. This coat needs little attention, other than perhaps some tidying and thinning out on the neck with finger and thumb or by using a stripping knife about two weeks before a show.<\/li>\n
At least a month before a show, the hair on the neck, chest and back should be stripped right down, using a stripping knife, but only experience can be the guide to the time it takes for the new hair to grow through.<\/p>\n
The hair under the dog must be tidy and the hair on the head should be neat and flat. Any long hair under the eyes and ears should be removed. The beard should be combed forward, and the hair behind it stripped flat. It is safer to use finger and thumb on the head area.<\/p>\n
Long hairs under the tail should be removed and just enough left at the end to cover the tip to a neat point. The hair around the Dachshund’s feet should be trimmed, and the hair from the front of the forelegs should be removed. Strip away all the hair from the hocks to give a good, clean shape to the hindlegs.<\/p>\n

- The softcoated Dachshund can be kept tidy only by stripping. Unfortunately, however, it can never be disguised. The hair on the legs, head and ears is always soft, and the harsh, even coat of the correct wirecoated Dachshund is completely lacking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
