What Does a Border Collie Dachshund Mix Look Like?
These dogs are a small, energetic bundle of joy. They usually stand around 8-20 inches tall (below the knee of most grown adults) and only weigh between 16-30 pounds, making them easy to pick up if necessary. They have small noses and shorter legs than traditional Collies. They are usually long-haired, double-coated animals, so make sure you own a good brush! They also have a long-ish, draping tail.
