Mini Dachshunds

These are Miniature Dachshunds!

These bold, curious little dogs were bred to dig their way into burrows, and they still love to track and dig up "prey". However, this active little dog does best as an indoor dog with access to a yard. They can have smooth, long or a “rough” coat, but the originals were smooth. Their colors range from the well known red through brindle.

The smooth-coated variety has a short, shining coat; the long-haired is sleek and sometimes wavy; and the wire-haired should have tight, thick, hard hair with a fine undercoat. The standard Dachshund will typically stand under 9” tall and weigh up to 32 pounds. The Miniature weighs less than 11 pounds and is under 6” tall.

Their names are (left to right):
Snowball - Dusty Rose
PrincessD-Light and Crystal

We are pleased to welcome these Miniature Dachshunds to our practice!
