Major or mini?
Just curious, how many of us have mini dachshunds and how many have the full size?
Princess is borderline I guess...she's three pounds overweight which places her in the full size as far as weight is concerned but she should weigh ten or less so I guess she's a mini. Mini is what I paid for at least LOL

I've heard that mine are considered tweenies. They both weigh 13 lbs. I thought I was getting minis also, but I'm not going to give them back now. lol
My ex-Mother in Law had a mini that weighed 6 lbs. Her name was Gidget. She is at Rainbow Bridge now.

The one I have now, Otto, and the other three (Putzi, Puter, and Pfeffer) I had - now at the Rainbow Bridge, too - all "tweenies." I had never heard that term before, but it fits my 13 pounders.

Hmmm - seems there are three body sizes then. I wonder if they are bred that way or if its just individual variations.

TQ is a mini, 10 pounds. If he's even 1-2 pounds overweight, he looks fat. I will never forget bringing him home as a baby and putting him on the scale and he weighed only 3 pounds!

Oh, and yes Archer, I do believe there are 3 sizes. I heard the "tweenie" came about because a lot of people who thought they had bought "mini's" were ending up with doxies that weighed between 11 and 18 pounds, so they added the tweenie group.
