Do your research 🧐

Significant effort and toil are invested in breeding when enhancing the breed.
Exhibiting your dog requires patience, time, and dedication. Your dog undergoes assessment by a judge who will appraise your dog according to the breed standard. (Each breed follows a breed standard). A great deal of preparation is involved in a litter. Investigating bloodlines, pedigrees, genetics, OFA health assessments, progesterone evaluations, semen analysis, ultrasounds, X-rays, etc. All of this requires time and incurs expenses. Anyone can pair two dogs, but it’s essential to verify the type of health screening they’re undergoing. Genetic testing does not constitute a comprehensive health evaluation.

Every breed has suggested health screenings, which you can locate on the OFA website.

Dachshunds have 2 tests, the 3rd is optional but recommended.
1. AVCO eye examination is conducted by an ophthalmologist.
2. Patellar luxation should be performed after the age of 12 months.
3. Cardiac (optional yet advised), fundamental cardiac assessment.
Results for dogs can be published on OFA.

Why does a purebred puppy from a reputable club breeder cost so much?

1. Health Testing on Sire and Dam
2. Routine Veterinary Care
3. Breeding Costs. Progesterone Testing, Stud Fees, Brucellosis Testing, Travel to and from. TCI, Frozen Semen, Chilled Semen, Shipped Semen
4. Quality Puppy Food and Supplements
5. Whelping Supplies (boxes, pens, toys, expendables, supplements, other containment)
6. Vet Checks for Puppies, Vaccines, Dewormers, Microchips
7. AKC registration and Microchip Registration
8. My time. It takes about a week of my time arranging the breeding and to raise the puppies until 8 weeks that is a minimum of 1500 hours of work and effort.
9. Puppy kits, printed materials, and health information.
10. My time spent educating owners and continuing to give advice for the life of the dog.

I won’t include the club memberships, championships, travel to shows, advertising, hundreds of hours of time spent promoting purebred dogs. I won’t include missed vacations, sleepless nights, very high repro vet bills, missed breedings, c sections, singletons, or bad luck. All expensive and we do it for no other reason than to preserve our breeds.

If I hear another person say they are just looking for a pet and not a showdog then my advice to them is go ahead and buy a car with no warranty, no manual, no VIN or registration and the odometer is broken. Good luck with that. I hope you have a good trainer and good insurance. Most of what we produce are just pets. Loved cherished companions that go to carefully screened homes. it is only the exceptional ones we breed. That therein lies the difference.
