I've been looking for a long hair miniature Dachshund for the last 6 months. I couldn't seem to find any pet farms (the reputable ones) that have it. And I've asked around about getting one from Australia through a pet shop on Balestier, they're asking S$2700!!! It's a bit insane to have to pay that much for a dog. I wonder if there are other routes I could take to get a more affordable one. Your help is appreciated!

Before you part with $2700, remember
Dachshunds can have very long lives and deserve to have an owner who is willing to make the commitment of love that they need for the duration. They are not an easy-to-train breed and can be very stubborn. They require a patient, calm, loving owner. Part of owning a Dachshund is just loving them for what they are and enjoying them for who they are. They should be well socialized and go to obedience training. They will not be the star pupil, but both owner and dog will benefit from the experience. Someone who is gone very long hours would probably not be a good match. If you have babies and small children in your future or life, think long and hard about getting a Dachshund, as this breed is not generally good with children. If you are considering a Dachshund, I recommend you contact vets in your area and get price estimates on annual medical care. In addition, find out that if the worst was to happen and your Dachshund was one of the unlucky ones to have back problems, what kind of monies should you have set aside for non-surgical and surgical treatments of those problems.
