Standing Dachshund Coloring Page

About this page

A long, low dachshund stands in profile facing left, with its head turned a little toward the viewer. Its ears hang down in two smooth flaps, the eyes are big and sparkly, and the small black nose sits at the end of a gently smiling snout. The long body stretches across the page, supported by four short legs with small paws, and a tail curves up at the right. This is a clean, single-figure page with no ground or background drawn, so the white space does the framing. The body is a large uninterrupted shape that is easy to fill with a solid color or a gradient. It is a simple page for kids who like to work with big, easy areas, and the long shape also offers a nice stretch for stripes or patches.
