Some breeders and owners check their dachshund's temperature to monitor the start of labor. Many, but not all, dachshunds will experience a temperature decrease of about 1 degree from the normal temperature of 101 to 102.5 just a few hours before labor begins. The dachshund will experience some contractions and may repeated lick at her vulva in the hours before delivery.
Ideal weight: 9-12 kgs (20-26 lbs). Miniature ideal weight; 4.5kgs (10lbs). Desired maximum weight 5kgs (11lbs). Exhibits which appear thin and undernourished should be severely penalised. In the UK, Miniature Dachshunds may be weighed by judges to determine their size compared with the ideal given in the Standard. Countless breeders have shown, over 60 years, that it is possible to breed fit and healthy Miniature Dachshunds that do not exceed 5 kg/11 lbs.
