Adult Standard Smooth-Haired Dachshund
This adult standard smooth-haired Dachshund uses the midpoints of the AKC standard-size ranges: 8.5 inches (21.6 cm) at the withers and 24 pounds (10.9 kg). The height anchor runs from the support line to the withers rather than to the head or ears. Its long low body, short legs and dense smooth coat identify the standard smooth-haired variety, explicitly excluding Miniature and Rabbit Dachshunds.

Measurement basis
The 0.216 m value is the internal ground-to-withers anchor. Published body ratios do not equal a complete nose-to-tail contour, so length remains unset.
