Dachshund in a Raincoat Coloring Page

About this page

With a pleased half-smile, a long-bodied dachshund stands on its hind legs and fastens its raincoat, pinching the top button with both front paws. The coat has a hood hanging behind the neck, wide cuffs and a hem that flares out over the back. Down the front, a broad band holds two more large buttons, each with four holes. The dog's long ears hang on either side of its face, and its thin tail curves upward at the right. Because the coat covers most of the body, there are big simple areas that suit broad strokes, while the buttons and cuffs give small accents. This medium page is a friendly choice for kids who like clothing and costume themes and want a character that feels ready for a rainy walk.
