Two Measures of Scale. The size of a miniature, relative to what it is a replica of, is known as the scale of the figure. For no particularly good reason, two different systems are used to rate scale. Some scales are given as a ratio, variously written as either a ratio (i.e., 1:300 or 1.300) or a fraction (i.e., 1/300).
A full grown standard dachshund averages  16-28 lbs., while the miniature normally weighs less than 11 pounds. According to most kennel club standards, the miniature differs from the full-size only by size and weight. Offspring from miniature parents must never weigh more than the miniature standard to be considered a miniature as well.
