Editing Dachshund (section)

==== Size ====
Dachshunds come in three sizes: standard, miniature,<ref name="gkpnso">{{cite web |url=http://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/dachshund/#standard |title=Dachshund Breed Standard |publisher=American Kennel Club |access-date=3 February 2009}}</ref> and ''kaninchen'' (German for "rabbit"). Although the standard and miniature sizes are recognized almost universally, the rabbit size is not recognized by clubs in the United States and the United Kingdom. The rabbit size is recognized by the [[Fédération Cynologique Internationale]] (World Canine Federation) (FCI), which contain kennel clubs from 83 countries all over the world.<ref>{{cite web|title=Fédération Cynologique Internationale Official Website |url=http://www.fci.be/default.aspx |work=Fédération Cynologique Internationale |access-date=16 June 2009}}</ref> An increasingly common size for family pets falls between the miniature and the standard size; these are frequently referred to as "tweenies," which is not an official classification.

A full-grown standard dachshund typically weighs {{convert|16|to|32|lb|round=0.5|abbr=on|order=flip}}, while the miniature variety normally weighs less than {{convert|12|lb|round=0.5|abbr=on|order=flip}}.<ref name="gkpnso" /> The kaninchen weighs {{convert|8|to|11|lb|round=0.5|abbr=on|order=flip}}. According to kennel club standards, the miniature (and kaninchen, where recognized) differs from the full-size only by size and weight, thus offspring from miniature parents must never weigh more than the miniature standard to be considered a miniature as well.<ref name="gkpnso" /> While many kennel club size divisions use weight for classification, such as the American Kennel Club, other kennel club standards determine the difference between the miniature and standard by chest circumference; some kennel clubs, such as in Germany, even measure chest circumference in addition to height and weight.<ref>{{cite book |title=For the Love of Dachshunds| last=Hutchinson |first=Robert  |year=2005 |publisher=BrownTrout Publishers |isbn=1-56313-903-0 |page=112 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i_XAakNgDJwC&pg=PA14 |access-date=16 June 2009}}</ref>
