Ever thought about putting him on a diet and give him more exercise? Obesity kills slowly, but surely ...

He was actually born much bigger than the rest of is litter. It’s not so much that he’s fat, but more than he was just born large. He also was born with a crooked rib cage.

Given that the FCI sees the standard sized Dachshund at 9 kg (=19,84 pound) weight, he apparently continued with the exaggerated growth. I've seen my fair share of dachshunds in all three size categories, but never a healthy purebred specimen at not just twice, but three times the average weight. :eek:

None currently as pets are not allowed in my apartment building.

As a kid/teenager I've had rabbits, chickens, fish (various small freshwater species), cockatiels, a Schneider's skink, and a dog.
