I am looking for a dachshund as a home companion. I am normally used to having a little dog running around at my feet and since my previous dogs have passed on I feel it is time to start fresh. I would really love to have a cute little dachshund and yet I cannot find any breeders in NH. If anyone knows of anyone selling, or giving away, dachshunds near or around Conway NH please let me know :) Thanks

I totally agree with Petfinder.org And by the way, there are no "reputable" petstores, all their dogs come from backyard breeders and puppy mills. And classifieds are a terrible place to find a well bred dog, as well. Daschunds are prone to back problems, which backyard breeders and puppy mills don't care about, so you have a good chance of purchasing a dog with serious medical problems. If you want a well bred dog, contact your local kennel club or breed club for reputable breeder recommendations.

Dachshunds are the best dogs, i think. i have one and she's so precious. She has never growled or bitten me or anybody else. She does not know a stranger, we take her everywhere, and every person she sees she gets so happy and exitced. They love to lick you in the face and jump in your lap, they love attention, and they love to be loved and give love. They are pretty good watch dogs to, i dont think they really would ever bring anybody down, but as far as odd noises and sounds, they are very alert. The only down side is that they are hard to potty train. Mine is 8 months old and were still in the process of potty training. But other than that they are the best dogs. The best place to look is in the newspaper, for breeders. Thats where we found our little girl.
You'll be so happy once you get one!!
Good Luck

We have a six month old daschuand from a reputable pet store. the search for her was ong and hard as their are not many breeders out there and there are usually only 1-3 pups a litter. The clasifieds are good, ask around, if you see another person with a daschuand, ask where they got it.

a search on petfinder.com for your area brought up a TON of dachshunds looking for a home, from babies to seniors. you should check it out! (adopting will be way cheaper than buying from a breeder too!)

go to www.petfinders.org put in what you are looking for and your zip. It gives you babys, young, adult dogs needing a home and it is non-for profit.
