The Dachshund is twice as long as he tall and his head and neck are usually the same length.
Queen Victoria is known for being partial to the breed, saying “Nothing will turn a man’s home into a castle more quickly and effectively than a Dachshund.” She is credited for the breed’s popularity in Britain.
For their short legs, they can run very fast with a double extension gallop similar to a sight hound.
The very first Olympic mascot in the history of the Olympic Games was Waldie a dachshund for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. The Olympic marathon route was designed to be in the shape of the dog that year. (Olympic.org)
The standard size can be almost triple the size of the mini. The mini is usually around 11 pounds and hunted small vermin while the larger standard hunted the badger. In Germany, they come in a third size, in between the miniature and the standard.
Tweenies (Between sizes) is the size of Doxies that fall between the mini and standard size, roughly 12 to 18 pounds. As mentioned, in Europe this is another size allocation and there they are sometimes referred to as “rabbit Dachshund” because this was the size used to hunt rabbits and hares.
