good for a dachshund?

I am not sure if the steps are good for your dog or not. My dog is a small German Shepherd who can no longer jump into our vehicle. She weighs about 55 lbs. which is below what the steps are rated at. The snap together design of the steps did not hold together when she would run up them. Maybe if I had glued it together but I did not. All I can say is to use your own judgment. I did not like how it went together.

It's ok. The steps are too close together since they have such long bodies, my dog has a hard time. She is 10 years old.

I would think so. I have an older Jack Russell. She's able to stop on each step. Others have much smaller steps. This works great for her!

My 25 pound miniature schnauzer does not like the way the steps flex under her weight and will not use it.

Most dogs will need to get used to the stairs, as they are not too solid or stable. Perhaps being a smaller breed will be better than for the standard poodle I bought them for. Having said that, the stair rise would be higher than the dashhund's legs. All you could do is try them out. I hope this helps.

Hmmm...I'd have a tendency to go with the large. They're adjustable, but I use the medium (I believe) for my about 22 pound dachshund. There's a button on the top where your leash fastens that will enable you to adjust Took me a while to find that feature!!! And you can always return for a smaller size. It's awesomely effective for my awesomely active dachshund! Good luck and happy walking.

Yes. We use ours for a 7 lb and 16 lb mini dachshunds. Wont work for much bigger than that though.

My biggest dachshund has 21 inch girth and the large fits fine with room to spare...I believe it should fit your dog, as well

Very small. My 12-13 lb. miniature Dachshund ate it with no problem...and my 65-70 lb. mixed breed prefers this one over the larger version. :)

I have a 22lb dachshund. he wears it just fine. He tracks with it. We hike. He hunts rabbits, even trees squirels. Best money on equipment I´ve ever spent.

Sorry no suggestions...I bought this product to keep my miniature weiner dog in the yard. Needless to say I don't have to worry about her pulling anything down or getting bigger.

No it should be just fine for your mix. I think that it might be difficult for anything smaller (mini doxi), but a standard dachshund and heeler mix will be a good size. Once you have fitted the collar you can cut the excess. And you can always keep it on a lower setting. I keep the collar on the lowest setting; and increase as needed.

My little Pomchi has plenty of room but he's only ten pounds. A large Dachshund might find it an uncomfortable fit for any but a very short ride.

Absolutely!! I have a long haired dachshund puppy so he gets dirty fast. Even when I have to bathe him a couple of times in one week his skin doesn't get dry. And he's so soft!

For anyone with dachshunds, keep in mind their chests are quite large in proportion to the rest of their body. We ordered a small for our 10 lb mini dachshund and it fit well. It was just a tad loose around his slim waist but fit great everywhere else. It didn't cause a problem in the water. The life jacket also fit length wise.

It didn't fit my 10 pound chihuahua so it probably won't fit your 14 pound dachshund. Sorry. I didn't try any others. Good luck.

I have a miniature dachshund, so they stay on fairly well on their feet even with the snow (and their short legs). Also, you need to be sure the Velcro is on tight (especially for dogs with a lot of hair). I'd recommend getting the red shoes just so it's easier to see them in the snow.

This is the review I submitted for this harness under a different color. Hope it helps!:"I have ordered several of these harnesses in the light blue, pink and purple as my mini dachshund has grown and they are all beautiful. They have rich pigmentation and are well-made. They seem to run small, so make sure to measure your pup. My baby girl is 11 lbs now and fits the MD perfectly. She was 4 lbs in the XS (which was a tad loose when we first got her) and 7ish lbs in the SM, for reference. I **highly** recommend them if your concern is a harness that won't pull on the spine, especially for Dachshunds. She has grown up in them and refuses to use any other kind."

I would go with a size "small" ... that's what we use for our 19lb. dachshund.

The one i got was for up to 20 lbs my problem is that my 13 lb dachshund is too long now,i would think a cockapoo would be shorter and should fit.
