About this pattern

A red long-haired dachshund stands square in side view, facing right, with a long low body, short legs, a long tapering muzzle with a dark nose, a dark eye and a long dark red ear hanging below the jaw. Paler golden hair shows down the chest and in a band under the belly, and the low tail curls up at the left. Shaded in coppers with a dark brown outline. No lettering. Full crosses only. It is 59 by 27 stitches and uses four thread colors.

59 stitches wide by 27 high: 808 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Copper 921, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red Copper 919 and 1 more).
