What is the size of a full-grown Miniature Dachshund?

A full-grown Miniature Dachshund typically stands around 5 to 6 inches tall and weighs up to 11 pounds. Factors like genetics, diet, and exercise can influence their final size. Genetics play the largest role, as Dachshunds bred from smaller lines tend to stay petite.
A balanced diet with the right nutrients supports a Miniature Dachshund’s muscle and bone health, which is key to managing their long spine. Moderate, gentle exercise helps them develop properly, reducing the risk of joint strains or back issues and helping them reach a healthy adult size.
