Dachshund Coloring Pages

Make free printable dachshund coloring pages from 13 pictures we drew ourselves: dachshund portrait, dachshund puppy with a bone, dachshund with a ball, dachshund in its bed, dachshund in a sweater, dachshund and a big bone, dachshund in the garden, wirehaired dachshund, longhaired dachshund, two dachshund friends, mother dachshund and her pups, dachshund in autumn leaves, big simple dachshund. Every dachshund is drawn with the marks the Dachshund Club of America breed standard gives: low to the ground, long in the body and short in the leg, rounded ears of moderate length set near the top of the head, and a tail that carries on the line of the back. The standard names three coats, smooth, wirehaired and longhaired, and all three are here. They are pet dogs, not any named, film, book or cartoon dog and not any brand, food or team mascot, and nothing carries words, brand or product names or logos. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small ones, a scene with two dachshunds in a garden with a fence and flowers under clouds and a sun, a fold-in-half card, or a dachshund mandala with small dachshunds round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Plain dachshunds to decorate prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 dachshunds with no eye, nose or coat lines, so children can draw their own; one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a class list to get the same picture for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.
