Dachshund and Dogue De Bordeaux
What both sides can say, then where they part, then what only one side can say, then what nobody has measured yet. A number without its sample does not appear.
Breed explains about 8.9% of the Morrill behavior factors in the paper. A bar here is a breed lean, never a prediction about a dog.
What they share
No cited number sits close on both sides yet.
Where they differ
What cited lifespan means
How long dogs of this breed tend to live, from McMillan 2024 (VetCompass). A population median.
What does carrier rate mean?
The share of tested dogs of a breed that carry at least one copy of a specific disease variant.
How to read it: Higher = more common in the breed. 'Carrier' means carrying the variant, not having the disease.
Carrier is NOT the same as affected, especially for recessive variants. Figures come from tested (direct-to-consumer) dogs, which can skew the rate. Worth asking your vet.

One side known
Dachshund: 24 lb (n=97) · Dogue De Bordeaux: 9 atlas dogs, no breed weight logged yet.
What typical adult weight means
Typical adult weight, in pounds.
Dachshund: +1.1 years for size (n=97) · Dogue De Bordeaux: 9 atlas dogs, no lifespan-for-size logged yet.
What does longevity for its size mean?
How much longer or shorter a breed tends to live than its body size predicts (bigger dogs live shorter on average — this measures the gap from that expectation).
How to read it: Positive = lives longer than its size predicts; negative = shorter. At the extremes, roughly +3 years (longest-lived for its size) down to about -4 years.
A population pattern, not a guarantee for an individual dog.
Dachshund: Miniature Dachshund (n=97) · Dogue De Bordeaux: Not enough yet (n=9)
What genetic neighbors means
Where this breed sits among others in the atlas. Placement, not pedigree.
Dachshund: 33% (n=97) · Dogue De Bordeaux: 33%
What does genetic diversity mean?
How varied a breed's gene pool is — the share of gene spots where a typical dog of the breed carries two different versions rather than two identical ones.
How to read it: Higher = more diverse. Among well-sampled breeds it ranges roughly 0.22 (least diverse) to 0.33 (most diverse).
Diversity is a strength, not a verdict on any individual dog. Lower diversity means it's worth paying attention to recessive-risk testing — not that a dog is doomed.
Dachshund: -0.14 (n=58) · Dogue De Bordeaux: Not in the Morrill set.
What human sociability means
A breed lean on this factor in the Darwin's Ark paper. Not a prediction about a dog.

What arousal level means
A breed lean on this factor in the Darwin's Ark paper. Not a prediction about a dog.

Dachshund: 0.55 (n=67) · Dogue De Bordeaux: Not in the Morrill set.
What biddability means
A breed lean on this factor in the Darwin's Ark paper. Not a prediction about a dog.
