What is the average life expectancy of a miniature dachshund?
In general, larger dogs live shorter lives than smaller dogs. This is due to the fact that the bodies of larger dogs must work harder and are more stressed than the bodies of smaller dogs. The life expectancy of any one dog in particular is also determined by the stresses in its life (both physical and psychological), what it eats and how well it is taken care of. With that said, the average life expectancy of a miniature dachshund is 12 to 15 years.
