How We Calculate Dachshund Age
Unlike the outdated "7 years" rule, our Dachshund age calculator uses breed-specific aging data. Dachshunds age rapidly in their first year (equivalent to 15 human years), then 9 human years in year two, and 4 human years for each subsequent year. As a small dog, Dachshunds often live longer than larger breeds.
