In the breeding farm RAJ Canin FCI, we are dedicated to breeding Dachshunds that meet the highest standards of quality, both in health and temperament. From the moment a litter is born, each puppy receives meticulous attention, ensuring that its growth is healthy and balanced. A crucial factor in our process is the accurate weight control of the puppies, as this allows us to identify early on whether it is a rabbit, miniature or standard size Dachshund., and ensure that their development is on track.
Care of the puppy from Birth
At RAJ Canin FCI, we know that the a puppy's first days and weeks of life are critical to its long-term wellbeing. From the moment they are born, each puppy is individually assessed and subjected to rigorous veterinary control. This includes daily weighing of each puppy to monitor their development and ensure they are growing at an appropriate rate.
The importance of weight at this stage cannot be underestimated, as it allows us to detect possible health problems and to ensure that each puppy receives proper care. In our kennel, puppies are weighed and observed daily, to make sure they feed well and grow strong.
Estimated growth for Dachshund Puppies (Rabbit, Miniature and Standard)
In order to identify whether a puppy belongs to the category rabbit, miniature or standard, we keep detailed track of your weight from day one. The following table shows the estimated weight ranges for each of the type of dachshund through the weeks of life, a key reference for ensuring that puppies are growing within the appropriate ranges.

Personalised Care for Every Puppy
Monitoring the weight of our puppies is not just a routine, it's a key indicator of your health. If a puppy shows less than expected growth, immediate action is taken, such as adjusting its feeding or ensuring that it receives sufficient mother's milk. We ensure that all puppies have adequate access to the mother, which is an essential source of nutrients and defence during the first weeks.
In addition, throughout their development, our puppies receive regular veterinary care, including vaccination and deworming, ensuring that they grow up free from disease. Our team of experts ensures that every puppy is in perfect health before being handed over to his new family.
