Dachshund breed was bred in two different sizes as Standard and Miniature. Miniature ones do not fall into a separate classification. There is not much difference in height between male and female Dachshunds.
The ideal weight for standard Dachshund dogs is 7 – 15 kg. The standard Dachshund’s height is 20 – 23 cm. The weights of all breeds of standard Dachshund breeds (smooth hair, wirehaired and longhaired) are generally close to each other.
A Miniature Dachshund is considered a miniature when it is 12 months old and over and weighs 5 kg or less. Miniature Dachshunds are 5 kg and under. Those weighing between 5 and 7 kg are also called “Tweenies”.
There is a breed that people who breed very small Dachshunds introduce as “Toy Dachshund”. But this is only seen as a marketing strategy. The Toy Dachshund is not an accepted breed.
