Teacup Dachshund

The Dachshund comes in two sizes: standard and teacup. Standard Dachshunds weigh an average of 20-22 pounds, and the Teacup Dachshund weighs an average of 10 pounds or less. And these are full grown dogs, not the weight of Teacup Dachshund puppies.

 

Just as with any newborn Dachshund puppy, teacup dachshund puppies are very small when born and don't achieve their maximum weight of 9 or 10 pounds, for more than a year. This is a really small dog that can easily be carried around. So if you are in the market for a lap dog, the teacup dachshund may be the breed for you.

 

Teacup Dachshunds have the same characteristics as the standard dachshund breed, with the biggest difference being their size. The maximum healthy weight for a standard dachshund is 30 pounds and their average weight is about 22-25 pounds. The average weight for a teacup dachshund is a mere 8 or 9 pounds, and their maximum healthy weight is no more than 11 pounds.
