Dachshunds come in 2 sizes: miniature, which is 11 pounds and under and standard, 16-32 pounds. They come in 3 coats: smooth, long and wire and come in the most color/pattern combinations than any other AKC recognized breed!
While I don't have a picture of every possible combo, I wanted to list a general idea of the different coats, colors and patterns our beloved furry friends come in. All pictures are posted with permission of the owner and a link to their website is also provided.

CREAM
Creams are amoung the most beautiful of all the dachsie colors. It comes in all 3 coats and patterns. There are also English Creams which are imported or descendants of imported creams from the UK. If you are looking for a English Cream, not just a cream colored dachsie, be sure to research the pedigree and find a reputable EC breeder.
