A long dog on a square print
Dachshunds are the one breed whose proportions fight a chest print, and the answer is simple: these are head-and-chest portraits, so what you get is the face — the long muzzle, the enormous eyes, the ears that hang past the jaw — at a size that actually reads.

How this coat prints
Doxies come smooth, long-haired and wire-haired, and each prints differently. Smooth coats are pure shape and shine, and they hold up at small sizes. Long-haired doxies have feathering on the ears and chest that behaves like a golden's. Wire-haired doxies have the beard and eyebrows, which are the most fun thing on this list to print — hard, spiky texture that ink loves.
The photo to use
Eye level is not optional here. A dachshund photographed from standing height is a photo of the top of a head, and the muzzle — the most recognisable part of the breed — disappears entirely. Get down on the floor. Watch for the ears: they frame the face, and a photo taken mid-shake gets them flying somewhere they never are.

Questions
Will you show my dachshund's whole body?
No — these are head-and-chest portraits, which is deliberate. A full-length doxie shrunk to fit a square print would put the face at postage-stamp size.
I have a wire-haired doxie. Will the beard show?
It will, and it's one of the best textures we print. Just get close enough that the camera resolves the individual hairs.
My dachshund is a dapple. Does the pattern survive?
On the photoreal presets, yes — dapple is colour placement and it carries through from your photo.
