Price & budget

How much does a Dachshund kitten cost?

Germany

The purchase price of the Dachshund varies depending on the lineage, the size variety, the coat type and the quality of the breeding. Beyond the initial price, annual upkeep must include quality food, veterinary follow-up and routine care.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

The Teckel is preferably acquired from a LOF breeding kennel that specifies the variety (standard, miniature, kaninchen) and the coat type (smooth, wire or long), presents the parents and documents back monitoring. A very low price should prompt checking identification and breeding conditions. Adoption through an association is possible, especially for an adult.

A price too good to be true?

  • Check the variety and coat type: they change the size, maintenance and sometimes the price.
  • A very cheap puppy without back monitoring or identification is not a good choice.
  • Anticipate the cost of back monitoring and strict weight control.
