About this pattern

A smooth-haired dachshund standing side on and facing left: a long copper-brown body on four short legs, a drooping ear, a red collar and a tail held up. A darker band shades the belly and the two far legs. Outlined in dark brown. It uses five thread colors, one of them for a single white stitch in the eye.

52 stitches wide by 26 high: 635 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Copper 921, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red Copper 919 and 2 more).
