Dachshund (Teckel) Size Guide
Our dachshund cuts are drafted from scratch on a long-bodied silhouette — not a standard pattern shortened. Proportions are correct from collar to tail, for Kaninchen, Miniature, and Standard dachshunds alike.
How to measure
- Neck — where the collar sits
- Chest — the widest point, just behind the front legs
- Back length — from the base of the collar to the base of the tail
If your dog falls between two sizes, choose the larger.
