How much does a Westphalian Dachsbracke kitten cost?

Germany

The purchase price varies depending on the lineage, the reputation of the breeding kennel, compliance with the standard, health guarantees and the dog's intended purpose. The rarity of the breed outside Germany can also increase search and travel costs.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

It is advisable to favor a transparent breeder who presents the parents, their pedigree documents, their living conditions and the health monitoring of the puppies. Adopting an adult may be less expensive but remains rare for this breed.

A price too good to be true?

  • Check identification, origin documents, the veterinary certificate and breeding conditions before any payment.
  • Beware of ads where it is not possible to meet the breeder and where there is no proof that the puppy exists.
  • Never choose based solely on price, especially for a rare breed that may be misidentified.
