All of our dachshunds are call miniature but they way from 5 to 10 pounds.
The standard size dachshunds start at 16 pounds and we have one of those but
he still isn't very big. I was sitting in a recliner when you called and
all the dogs were in my lap playing; some trying to take a nap and some of
them rolling around and wrestling with each other. Two are brothers but the
rest, except for one, the biggest one, are all cousins.
Phil.
