By 1910, stricter criteria were adopted for type, and each coat type was crossed with different breeds to achieve the best results: smooths were bred with the Miniature Pinscher, longs with the Papillon, and wires with the Miniature Schnauzer. They often like to chase and dig, or scent related games or activities. Most of the resulting miniatures lacked Dachshund type, however. The Dachshund is bold, curious, and always up for adventure. It can be hard to tell if your Dachshund is mini or standard before it is fully grown, but most minis weigh around 3.3 pounds at 9 weeks, 4.5 pounds at 12 weeks, and 7 pounds at 6 months. Mention is made of wire-coated Dachshunds as early as 1797, but most modern wires were created around the end of the nineteenth century by crossing smooth Dachshunds with German Wire-haired Pinschers and the Dandie Dinmont Terrier.īefore 1900, very small Dachshunds were kept to protect the home and farm from rodents. Although some were simply runts, others were intentionally produced by crosses with toy terriers or pinschers. According to the AKC, a Dachshund is a miniature when it weighs under 11 pounds when fully grown, at around 12 months of age. It is also possible that smooth Dachshunds were later crossed with spaniels and the German Stoberhund to produce the long-haired variety. Some evidence exists of longer-haired Dachshund-like dogs in sixteenth-century woodcuts.

The original Dachshunds were smooth coated and arose from crosses of the Bracke, a miniature French pointer, with the Pinscher. The Dachshund comes in three coat varieties and two sizes.
