How Old Is My Dachshund In Human Years?

how old is my dachshund in human years

Have you always thought that one human year is equivalent to 7 dog years? Well, that’s no longer the case. The old formula was based on the assumption that dogs live to around 10 years old, and humans to about 70. Since then, experts have learned a lot more about dog breeds and how they age.

How Old Is My Dachshund In Human Years? Dachshunds are small dogs, so tend to live longer than larger breeds. In the first 2 years of their life they mature really quickly. By the time they reach their first birthday, they’re already 15 human years old and, by 2, they’re the equivalent of 24 human years.
