This is actually just a made up name owners use to describe ‘big miniatures’! It’s not an official breed. If your dachshund is bigger than a miniature but smaller than a standard, he’s what’s known as a ‘tweenie’. You may have a miniature dachshund who is stockier (not obese) and weighs more than 11 pounds (5kg) – and that’s still normal! A trio of different sized dachshunds If he’s a standard dachshund, your tape measurement will be around 20–22 cm (8–9 inches) and the scales will say 16–32 pounds (7–14 kg).īut, having said all that, these are ‘breed standard’ weights and measurements and, of course, all dachshunds are different shapes and sizes, so there can be some variance. Pop him on the scales too – if he’s a miniature, your sausage should weigh 11 pounds (5 kg) or less. This only applies to adults, of course, as most pups won’t reach this size until they’re about 12 months old. If it says between 13 and 18 cm (5–6 inches), he’s a miniature. To check what size your dachshund is, grab your measuring tape and measure him from the floor to the withers (the high point between his shoulder blades).
