The aim of this paper was to assess the hair thickness and its variability within the standard Wirehaired Dachshund population, kept in Slovakia. The softest hair structure was recorded in the whisker area (0.044 plus minus 0.016 mm). Thick structure of hair in the whisker area was recorded in 6.5% of studied individuals, medium thick structure in 54.8% and the soft hair structure in 38.7% of individuals. The thickest structure was recorded in withers area (0.69 plus minus 0.028 mm). Thick structure of hair was recorded in 45.2% of individuals, medium thick in 38.7% and the soft hair structure in 16.1 %. The withers area reached highest hair thickness variability. In the elbow area (0.049±0.016 mm) thick hair was recorded in 16.1 %, medium thick in 51.6% and soft structure in 32.3% of individuals. In the paw area (0.047 plus minus 0.015 mm) thick structure of the hair was recorded in 9.7%, medium in 61.3% and soft structure in 29.00% of individuals. In the thigh area (0.051 plus minus 0.015 mm) thick structure was achieved in 12.9% individuals, medium in 61.3% and a soft structure in 25.8% of individuals. The highest variability of the hair thickness among individuals was recorded in the withers area. Gender had no significant influence (P greater than 0.05) on the hair thickness. In three (whiskers, elbow, paw) from five studied body areas, higher average values were recorded by females. No significant difference (P greater than 0.05) in hair thickness between offsprings originating from Slovak and the ones originating from foreign breeding stations was recorded.
