Miniature Dachshunds can weigh anywhere from to 6 to 10 pounds. Most of it depends on what kind of dog food you feed it. Never let your dachshund get overweight. It will hurt their backs and lead to other health problems in the future. If it gets overweight, feed it less. Dachshunds only need about 1/4 to 1/2 a cup during meal time. A puppy only needs 1/4 a cup a day. Dachshunds are very active dogs. In order for them to stay active, they need to be able to move around as they choose. the recommended food from my vet is Science Diet. It keeps the dog in shape AND it tastes good!! (i tried it myself. it wasn't too bad.) Please keep your little buddy in shape!

11 pounds or less. If it is above 11 pounds it is called a "tweenie." However, if it is 16-32 pounds, it is not a mini, but a standard.

Weight in dogs all depends on the size of the parents. I would say in between 5-8 pounds.

I just took my mini to the vet today, and he is only at 3 months, but is 6.4 lbs. Not sure if it's helpful but it's a start!
