HEALTH UPDATES WEIGHING OF MINIATURE DACHSHUNDS Health & Welfare Statement Miniature Dachshunds will be weighed at all of the Miniature Dachshund Club Shows, the desired maximum weight of Miniature Dachshunds is 11lbs. the Committee wishes to make it clear to exhibitors that the health and welfare of all dogs entered at The Miniature Dachshund Club events is of the highest importance. The Animal Welfare Act became law in England on 6 April 2007. The focus is now on the responsibility of the owner, as seen in the 'Duty of Care'. Those who own a dog are legally responsible for its welfare, otherwise they may be found to be committing a 'Welfare Offence'. The Commitee will take action against any exhibitors who are found to be depriving their dogs of water and/or food in order to meet the desired maximum weight requirement for Miniatures in the Breed Standard. Exhibits which appear thin and undernourished should be seriously penalised by judges.
