What size would be good for a miniature dachshund that is about 12lbs?

I think the x-small would be best. I bought the x-small for my almost 13lb pomchi and they fit snugly

I looked on the packaging that came with my XS and it states dachshunds are one of the breeds this size fits. Paw pads that measure from 1 1/2" - 2". That's measuring from the back of the paw from heel pad to the tip of the longest nail. I would think this would work for yours. Good luck.

Our dog is about 12 lbs. and the orange (x small) worked well as far as size goes.

I would think so. My dog is 17lbs westie and I have to cut a little slit so it's not grabbing onto her paws too much. But if anything you should go small and You can always make adjustment.

I have a Shih Tzu and the small fits her well. She is around 12 pounds. The medium was far too big for her and had to be returned, but the small is about right with a little extra room in case your Shih Tzu is bigger than ours. I think the smaller size would be too small because her paws are kind of long.

A small fit my miniature dachshund's neck. She's about 10 pounds. Didn't work for her though. Due to her long body she could get to her rear end.

We have the small one for our Maltese and she is under 10 lbs. I would think a Dachshund would take a small size also.

Medium or large will work. My dog has both and she is about the size of a beagle. It just depends on how you want it to fit.

I would go with a size "small" ... that's what we use for our 19lb. dachshund.

I see your dilemma. I have a dachshund. She has a 19 inch chest and she fits a medium. With an 1 1/2 inches to spare. I tried the large at smallest setting and it was too big.

The medium should work just fine. We tried a medium on our 11 lb dog and it was too large so returned it and order a small that fit just fine.

I ordered a small for my Boston Terrier. She is petite (about 13 lbs) and it fits perfectly.

I have a medium for my poodle who is between 13-14 pounds, so would suspect a small would work best as hers is a little loose around the neck.

Our 37lb beagle just fits lying down and he is medium so it just might be roomy for your 12 lb but I don't see that as a bad thing. You could also save some money and get the smaller version

I would suggest the xxsmall. I have the medium and my dog is 40 lbs, a few more lbs and the medium would be too small. For 9 lbs and 12" girth the xxsmall should be perfect. The next size up I fear would be just too much material for the little one to handle. The material wraps around tummy and velcros together and straps hook for added protection so jacket doesn't slip off. I hope this is helpful.

My 8 pound mini dachshund wears a small & our 13 pound standard dachshund wears a medium. They adjust a lot. Hope this helps

The medium fits my 12-12.5 lb Cavalier (1.5 years old) perfectly. If your dog is going to grow a bit more, you might want to go with a medium. Hope this helps. :)

I purchased a large for my 75 lb. German Shepherd. That is my only point of reference. The first time I got one, I got the XL and needed to take a prong out. I think a medium would be good for your doodle. Good luck.

I purchased an xs for my chihuahua and it was to big. I tried it on my dachshund but it was to small. So, I would get a size medium for a standard or a small for a mini dachshund.

It depends on the breed of the dog. I have mini dachshunds and they need a bigger size for the chest.My 11 pound 4 yr old wears a medium. I do love the style and he loves the comfort.
