Answer 4

HI I live in CA., and paid $500 for a miniature brindle puppy,from a reputable breeder. The dapples were more, about 600-700.

Just make sure you see the parents and see if they look healthy/happy. If the puppy is skittish or seems very scared it might not be well-taken-care of or might be abused, so watch out for that. Good luck!!

Answer 5

If the breeder is actually a good one, they dont sell in newspapers, test the parents for everything they should(genetic problems, general health, ect), povide papers, ask that you spay/nueter pets dogs, show there dogs, and never have puppies always available.

Otherwise I would expect to pay at least $1000. And the breeder should make very little or no money. They spend alot of money on show entries, grooing, food, vets, ect. So the cost really is worth it.

Good luck!

Answer 6

I'm sorry but I'd never pay more than $300 regardless. If they are more expensive in your state than look for other breeders in other states, seach on the internet under dappel dachshund breeders and look for some within your state or close.
remember to check for rescuses with this breed of dog, most are very nicley priced, need homes desperatley and are already fixed!!

Answer 7

Never buy from a pet story, nor puppies farm
Best to buy from private owner - see parents of dog

I paid $400.00 didn't care of paper just wanted healthily dog - never intend to breed!

You do know I hope that the back of the dachshund is very critical to maintain proper weight as it is the main cause of death, due to the long structure - they say they should not jump, I have steps!

Surgery for back starts at $1500.00
I have the next to biggest type dachshund weighing 19-21 pounds.
32 is the biggest.

Answer 8

I'd say 600$ would be the average price for one in the papers, knowing that non blind; eyeless dapples take skill to breed.

But it would cost more from recognized breeders , between 700-1000

Answer 9

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tinyurl.im/1VxqL

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

Answer 10

Dogs are one of the most common pets world wide. Because of this, it makes sense that there are many different dog training methods out there. Unfortunately, most of these training methods are less than ideal to use for your pet.

Because of all of these differing dog training methods out there, many new pet owners get confused which to follow and even start using methods that are highly inaccurate or counter-productive for their pets. This article will show you the top three dog training methods that you should avoid like the plague!

Method 1: Using Punishment as Training

You'd be surprised how many pet owners use punishment as their "bread and butter" for obedience training. Unfortunately, as with bread and butter, this is one of those dog training methods that is very "unhealthy" for both you and your pet.

Think about it. When you punish anything, whether it's a dog or a human being, you're using negative energy. It's like you're a dictator and your pet is your slave. This is a very negative relationship between both and will only lead to problems in the future.

You want to establish a positive, loving relationship with your dog. Punishment is NOT how to do it. There are much more effective training approaches out there that work much better.

Method 2: The "One Person in the House Trains the Dog" Method

I couldn't think of a more creative title so I just named it the most descriptive title! Basically this is one of those common dog training methods that people follow without even realizing it! Here's a common scenario:

There is one dog and multiple people in the house that play with, feed, and take care of the dog. Out of those many people, only one actually trains the dog to listen and obey them. The others merely play with the dog.

This dynamic is highly ineffective if you are serious about training your dog. The reason is that only one person training a dog, no matter how great their training skills are, will not get the dog to listen to everybody. The dog will realize that it needs to behave around one person, but know that the other people don't care. Dogs are smart! They know who the "dominant" people are and who they can get away with more "mischief" with.

I've seen this problem happen with many pet owners where they try really hard to train their pet but cannot achieve any results. The reason is often that while one person is trying to train their pet to not do one thing, the other people in the house are actually rewarding the very thing!

An example of this is when dogs jump on people. This is not good behavior and one person could be training them to stop this. At the same time, another family member may think it's cute and pet and cuddle them after they do this. What's a dog to think when different reactions happen with different people?

Method 3: Following No Dog Training Methods - Using Intuition

I know many pet owners that think that because they have children and successfully raised them that they can get their dog to listen to them as well! Aside from the big ego, this approach assumes that dogs learn exactly the same way that humans learn.

While this is true to some extent, dogs are dogs and people are people. Different approaches are needed for different animals. While they may be more subtle than training a giraffe, they are still there and have a big impact on the results you'll see.

It is important to understand exactly what you are teaching your pets to do and not to do. If you don't, you may very well end up doing things counter-productive.

The best solution to this is to pick up a book or go find some training course out there that has a depth of coverage on the topic.

Other Poor Methods of Approach

If you've been trying to train your dog for a few weeks now and haven't seen any real results then I'm pretty sure that you're following a "Method to Avoid" approach. While I only listed three methods, there are thousands of other approaches that don't work. Take the results that you are getting as a signal if you are using a good method or a poor one. If you haven't seen any good results from your approach, move on and try another one.
