Dachshund Softshell Chesty Manet

Metric System

 *Gemessen am stehenden Dackel von da, wo das Halsband aufsitzt bis zum Ruten Ansatz. **Tweenies liegen zwischen Zwergdackel und Standard Dackel. Es könnte ein Zwergdackel sein, der ein bisschen größer als der Durchschnitt geraten ist oder ein Standard Dackel, der ein bisschen kürzer als der durchschnittliche Standard Dackel geraten ist.

Imperial System

 *Measured with the dog standing an all four paws. From the lower edge of the collar to the base of the tail. **Tweenys are situated in between miniature and Standard dachshunds. It could be a mini that turned out a bit longer or a Standard dachshund, that grew a bit shorter than the average Standard.

Parkas and Softshell coats WITH belly part (Style:Miró, Botero and Munch):

Please note: the MONDRIAN Parka runs bigger. Size down one size if closer

to the lower end.

Only one measurement is needed, namely the back length. This has to be measured from neck point all the way up to where the tail is about to start, while your dachshund is standing.

The size names in Centimeter length stand for the following dachshund breeds:

• 30: Mostly for dachshund puppies or very small Kaninchen dachshunds ( approx. 1,5 - 3,5 kgs/ 3.3 - 7.7 lbs)

• 35: Average length of a Miniature dachshund also known as dwarf teckel/ Zwergdackel and Kaninchen teckel (approx. 3,6 -4,4 kgs (size S) to 4,5-6 kgs (size M) / 7.9-9.7 lbs (size S) to 9.9 - 13 lbs (size M) )

• 38: For those in between. In the states there is a breed called 'Tweenies', which means they crossed a Miniature and a Standard dachshund. But sometimes a Miniature simply turns out to be a bit longer or a Standard dachshund is a little shorter than average. (approx. 4.5 - 5.4 kgs (size S), 5.5 - 7 kgs (size M) and 7.1- 9.5 kgs (size L) / 10-12 lbs (size S) , 12 - 15.4 lbs (size M) and 15.5 - 21 lbs (size L) )

• 40: The average length of the Standard dachshund breed. ( approx. 8,5- 10 kgs (size M) and 10 - 12 kgs (size L)/ 18.7 - 22 lbs (size M) and 22 - 26 lbs (size L))

• 48: The very long ones. XL-Standard is what we call it. (approx. 12 kgs and up/ 26 lbs and up to 15 kgs) NOT FOR REGULAR STANDARD DACHSHUNDS! Please not the weight!

Chest and belly straps can be altered since they are made of velcro. Depending on the size of the coat they can be adapted from 3 to 5 cm on the chest and 5 to 8 cm on the belly.

S, M and L means the following:

• S: for tender and slim dachshunds. Mostly female and juvenile dachshunds fits this size.

• M: for the average dachshund. This size is generally the most common. If your dachshund is in a fit and normal shape, this is for him or her.

• L: For a stronger physique. Some dachshunds have a stronger developed chest and shoulder area. Some have a bit more of a belly or are maybe pregnant.

Dachshund love comes in many sizes and we hope we can cater to all of them!
