Question: what is the difference between a standard and mini dachshund?
Answer: The main difference between miniature and standard dachshunds is size. Miniatures are noticeably smaller than standards at around 13 and 18 cm (5–6 inches) to their withers, and standards 20–22 cm (8–9 inches) to their withers. ... If it says between 13 and 18 cm (5–6 inches), he's a miniature.
