Choosing the Best Dachshund Breeders New England in Your Area
If you are in the search of a new dachshund puppy or perhaps an adult dachshund for your household then you may want to look into the possibility of going to a pet breeder in New England. A new dachshund can be something that goes quite easily as long as you take the time to learn about the proper care that goes into keeping any dog healthy and happy.
When you adopt a dog from a dachshund breeder in New England it goes without saying that you will have to pay a fee for the dog. This fee is often much less than what you would have to pay to go to the animal hospital with an emergency dog needing attention. When you adopt from a dachshund breeder in New England you should expect that you will be getting a high-quality dog for a reasonable price.
One thing that you should always look at when you are looking at dogs specifically, is their pedigree.
You may not realize this but some dachshund breeders may not really have the proper documentation for the dachshund puppies that they are selling. When you adopt from a reputable dachshund breeder in New England you can be sure that the dog has been checked out by someone other than the breeder in terms of its pedigree.
Oftentimes, breeders will try to pass off purebred dachshund puppies as those belonging to another dog in the family because they know that you will not ask any questions about the dog’s lineage. Many who do this will also provide AKC papers for the dachshund puppies that they are selling. This paperwork is important if you ever decide to show the dachshund puppies in competitions.
Another reason that you should always ask questions before purchasing a puppy in your area or even online is that there are often health problems that you may not be aware of that the breeder is not going to tell you about.
For example, there is a common health problem called Hypoglycemia which affects many new dachshund breeders in the breed. The symptoms of this disease include excessive thirst, frequent urination, and bloating. In addition, they will frequently go into seizures.
In this scenario, if you were to purchase a dog from a breeder who did not ask about this particular health problem and had the dog implanted with a blood sugar monitor, you could potentially spend thousands of dollars for medical bills that could have been avoided by asking the breeder about it upfront.
Some other things that you should watch out for when purchasing your dachshund puppies or dogs in your area include problems with their teeth.
Not all dachshunds have equal chewers. Some miniature dachshunds can chew so hard their little teethe turn black! For this reason, I highly recommend you purchase your miniature dachshund puppies or dogs from someone who is experienced in breeding and caring for these types of dogs.
You should also avoid any pet store dachshund puppies or dogs that are miniaturized.
There is a huge difference between a toy-sized dachshund and a miniature dachshund. These animals are simply not physically capable of living in their small stature. Miniature dachshunds are not only much more likely to become ill, but they also eat and need extra attention than the larger breed of dachshunds.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) publishes a register of all registered dachshunds, and each breed has been assessed and given a rating. Each breed is then assigned a letter that denotes what type of dachshund it is.
The dachshunds in your local area may belong to a different breed, but they will still most likely be registered with the same letter. When you find an AKC registered breeder, ask the breeder if his puppies are all on the letter that corresponds to their particular breed.
Next, do not be afraid to ask questions.
Never assume something just because the breeder says so. Ask questions to learn as much about the dachshund puppies as possible. An experienced dachshund breeder will be more than happy to answer any questions that you have and will be happy to spend time with you to make sure the dachshund puppy you are considering belongs to a good-quality litter.
Finally, it is always a good idea to visit the dachshund rescue where the new pet will come from. See how the dachshund is living before you bring him home. You can ask about his living situation while he is in foster care, and you can see what he is used to. This will help you decide if the new family will be able to provide the dachshund the life that he needs.
