DACHSHUND PRICE IN INDIA

Highly recognizable and widely loved for their looks and quirkiness, Dachshunds are an amazing breed of canines. They hail from Germany and are extremely popular in several parts of the world. They are currently placed on the #13 spot by the AKC in their list of most popular dog breeds in the whole of America. These dogs are slowly spreading their charm and love in those parts of the globe also where previously they were not as famous as they are gradually becoming now.

Dachshund is a great breed for Indian dog admirers and potential pet parents. These slender-looking dogs are highly adaptable and apartment-friendly and they can comfortably reside in a hot country like India (when given proper care and protection) because their tolerance to high temperatures is fairly decent. Also, these dogs are not that hard to find in the country as they have a great availability in most parts of India. And finally, they are not very pricey to bring home and are fairly easy on the pockets of most people out there.

Given below is the average price list of the Dachshund puppies which are available in India in various variations.

• Dachshund Puppy price (Basic): ₹15,000 to ₹25,000
• Dachshund Puppy price (KCI registered): ₹25,000 to ₹30,000
• Dachshund Puppy price (Show Quality): ₹30,000 to ₹45,000

Now if you want to get a Dachshund from a breeder, then it is very important that you get the pooch from a trustworthy breeder only. There are many breeders in India who don’t care much about the quality and fitness of the canines they have, and they only concentrate on making extra profits which only benefits themselves. But, a good breeder, on the other hand, will only provide a fit and healthy pup to you whose genuineness would already be certified by various Kennel clubs. Also, he will guide and nudge you in the right direction if you are in some kind of confusion about the needs and requirements of the pup that you want to bring home. And, finally, the feeling of contentment and peace of mind, which is extremely important, is only achievable if you get the pooch you desire only from a reliable and trusted breeder. Therefore, you should never approach any random shady breeder if you want a fluffy four-legged friend in your life and should always try to get it from a reputable source.

Factors Affecting the Dachshund dog Price in India

Now there are various factors that can affect the original Dachshund price in India. These factors are as follows:

Type

There are three different price categories for a Dachshund dog (in India): Basic, KCI Registered and Show Quality.

• Basic category includes all those dogs and puppies that are not registered to any kennel club including KCI. A basic Dachshund puppy can cost anywhere around ₹15,000.
• KCI is short for Kennel Club of India and if a dog belongs to KCI Registered category, then it means you will get a canine whose quality is up to the mark. You will also be able to participate in KCI dog shows if your canine is registered and also you will get a KCI registration certificate.
• A Show Quality dog means that the canine is closest to the ideal as mentioned in the Breed Standards. If you are not planning to participate in dog shows with your pooch, then it does not matter all that much whether you buy a Show Quality dog or a normal Pet Quality one.

Physical Attributes and Characteristics

Coat length, coat colors, different body sizes are some of the physical features that can influence the overall price of a dog. In the case of Dachshunds, all three of these characteristics are known to affect the average Dachshund dog price. Firstly, Dachshund comes in two different sizes officially (three, unofficially). These sizes or different types of Dachshunds are standard and miniature (and Toy). Secondly, Dachshund can also be found in different kinds of coats. There are smooth or short-haired Dachshunds, Long-haired Dachshunds, and Wire-haired Dachshunds. And lastly, these dogs are also found in a lot of different colors. Some of the more popular ones are Black, Chocolate, Cream, Tan, Red, Blue, Black & Tan, and Chocolate & Cream. And all these factors and various physical attributes are known to tremendously affect the overall Dachshund price in India.

Age & Gender

Young dogs and puppies are generally sold at a higher price as compared to older canines. Also, it is usually seen that male dogs cost a bit more when we compare them to their female counterparts. And that’s how age and gender can influence the average price of a canine in a region.

Pure or Mix Breed

The cost of a purebred Dachshund is higher than the mixed-breed as there are lesser chances for a purebred puppy to develop hereditary health problems as compared to the one that is mixed-breed.

Availability and Location

Getting a dog from a breeder that is near to your location will probably cost a bit less as compared to getting the same dog from a breeder that is situated at a far-away location (different state or region). This is because of the addition of the extra charges such as shipping or traveling expenses to the overall price of the canine.

Also, a dog who has really good availability in an area will be a bit cheaper as compared to the canine who is a bit harder to find in that same area. For example, Dachshunds have a decent availability in India and their price is a lot less as compared to some other breeds that are not that easily available such as Huskies, Corgis et cetera.

Reputed Breeder

Popular breeders are also known to sell a canine at a bit of premium to their customers. Buying a dog from a reputed breeder will probably cost you more if we compare it to buying the same dog from a not-so-popular breeder. But the satisfaction, quality, and sense of contentment that you'll be getting from a reputed breeder will probably be not there when buying the pooch from any random breeder.

Miscellaneous Factors

• Champion Bloodline: If a dog belongs to a champion bloodline, meaning any of its predecessors (forefathers) were given the title of Champion in an official dog event, then its price can also go fairly high.
• Microchip: The price of a dog can also increase if it has been microchipped by the KCI. The extremely small pet microchip helps in providing a permanent ID for your pet.
