By John Smith


Almost everyone that you know right now have some kind of pet or another to keep them company and give them enjoyment. You have been thinking to get one for yourself as soon as you saw a dachshund puppy for sale sign earlier. You might be thinking that this is the puppy for you and want to buy it. Before you do however, it may be a good idea to read this article first.

Two hundred dollars to as much as one thousand dollars is the amount that you should prepare to spend for purchasing this puppy. The differences and variations in the prices per puppy is caused by differences in local demand and supply conditions, the overall reputation and prestige of the kennel that you buy from plus if the puppy has champion stock or not.

Specifically bred for hunting, the dachshund, or rather badger hound, came about in the seventeenth century in Europe. Its rather strange and sausage like body and short legs have a special purpose, in that they enable it to crawl into burrows and holes when chasing burrowing prey like rabbits, hares, possums and badgers. As it was originally a hunting dog, it is still classified as such in the dog registry world, which is that of a hunting hound.

Definitely a small dog, the breed at maturity will have a weight of anywhere from sixteen to thirty two pounds and stand at most eight to nine inches from ground to shoulder. It is a dog that may be more likely prone to small dog syndrome, and will exhibit this tremendously.

Small dogs are known to make up or compensate for their small statures by developing or adopting a behavior set called small dog syndrome. This behavior is characterized by overly hyper activity and a bit of aggressiveness also. In the dachshund, the aggressiveness is more pronounced and this is probably due to their having hunting hound genes. They have been known to bite strangers one of five times and do snap at their owners from time to time. They are the second most aggressive dog on the planet next to the Chihuahua.

Regardless of exhibited aggressive natures, they on the other hand make good family pets and their playful natures make them good children. You do however have to keep an eye on them from time to time as they will be wary of strangers and other animals they are not familiar with. When getting this dog, you may have to get used to it barking and howling a lot.

This breed is also a breed that is known for its wanderlust. If it is given the opportunity to walk around and explore on its own in the outdoors, it will do so and probably never will come back. Is thus advised that you at least fence it in or leash it from time to time. If you lack a yard you can keep it inside on the condition that you make sure it gets plenty of exercise and has a balanced diet. This is because once this breed is indoors, it will start becoming prone to obesity.

This article hopefully has given some important baseline information that you can think about before make a final purchase and commitment. If you feel that you still need more information perhaps you can also make additional researches covering grooming tips and also health concerns and complications.
