Hi D, i'm continued to be impressed. You are doing a great job and I feel like we're almost there. I think these ears are much better.
I tried looking up some images to refer to on images.google.com, but it was hard to find exactly what I want. I know this is just an image and not something exact, but I wanted to give it as much of a real feel as possible.
I found these, don't know if they help:

1) the head seems too big now. Maybe something inbetween the original and this one? The newest head reminds me of a labrador retriever or a golden retriever. I'm really trying to capture the essence of a dachshund. Part of it might be the sharp cornering of the nose to forehead area. This normally seems more fluid.
2) the chest and position of the head is much much better, but the dachshund has a " very slight" chest bone. It's not perfectly round.
3) the back of the neck seems a tad too tall and thick. Can the neck be brought down and thinned out "just a hair"?
I appreciate all your time on my requests.
