I was wondering what one everyone likes better, The Standard Dachshund or the Miniature Dachshund? I LOVE both but mini's are my favourite:D here is a pic of both types. Standards are alot bigger than the mini's and usually weigh 14-20 pounds sometimes more, sometimes less while the miniature usually weighs between 6-12 pounds.

here's a pic I got off another board I visit and it shows the size difference really well, The left doxie is a Standard and the right one is a mini:

I like standards because people can see better that this is a real hound, not a wind up toy. We have a standard breeder that come to the dog park once in a while. I like to call those the hot dog days in the park. My grandmother had a mini dachshund that died of cancer. Loved the dog to death but I was also scared to get close to it, she had teeth alright.
