The word dachshund is german, literally meaning badger dog. Our little Penny dog is so small that we have joked if there was such a thing as a toy dachshund, Penny would be considered one. Turns out that while not recognized in the United States, there is a third size of dachshund, a category in which Penny fits perfectly, the kaninchen size, which means "rabbit" size. AKC doesn't recognize this size as a separate category, but 83 other countries in the world do.
Standard Dachshund: 15-28 lbs.
Miniature Dachshund: Less than 11lbs.
Kaninchen "Rabbit" Dachshund: 8-10 lbs.
