DANGER !
As presumptuous as it may seem,
this list is not! So be warned!
“How much does an American dachshund actually cost?”
This is the question that burns on every prospective buyer's mind and causes every breeder to sigh deeply.
To explain the question of all questions a little,
The following list was developed...
Please read the following list BEFORE Before buying a dachshund, think carefully so that you are spared from a rude awakening.
Cute Piebald male with button eyes, professionally raised by the breeder, just to fall in love with: approx. €1,000
Collar, leash, bowls and puppy toys: €75
Veterinary costs for vaccinations and deworming: €75
Liability insurance: €60
Food for one year: €300
------------------------------------------
Subtotal: €1,510
On the first night, three pairs of chewed men's socks and a pair of women's lingerie: €80
On the second night the puppy no longer sleeps in the bedroom, but in the hallway. Restoration of the chewed and pee-filled Persian carpet: €600
A dog box is required for the third night...: €150
Left the puppy alone in the car for 15 minutes in the parking lot of the dog school, had the seat belt replaced and the gear stick replaced: €400
Buy a ransportbox for the car because the first one doesn't fit in the trunk: €150
Bigger collar, replace chewed leather leash with nylon, new toys and lots of chewing bones: €100
Raise the garden fence and put a curb against the highly talented little civil engineer's attempts to tunnel under it: €2,500

A round of free beer for the volunteers who caught the poultry on the main road: €250
Agility course for the garden, partly self-built, to optimize the training program and finally distract the dog from the damned creatures: €1,000
Escape-proof fence for the property: €1,000
You want a second dachshund so that the little one has a buddy to play with (collar, vet, etc.): €1,510
Lawyer and court costs for the trial against the neighbors: €4,000
Donation to the local animal welfare association for leniency despite intentional cruelty to feathered animals: €250
The best thing to do is to buy a rest farm in the country, then you can finally keep several dachshunds and breed them yourself: €200,000
Annual travel expenses for participation in seminars “all about dogs” and dog shows at the end of the world: €6,000
Camping vehicle with space for at least six dachshunds,
so that traveling finally becomes cheaper: €18,000
-------------------------------------------------- -------
Final total: €238,500
This list is based on experience and a bit of imagination...
However, there is no upper limit on the price of a dachshund.
Financial problems caused by longer vacation trips, arguments with demanding spouses or long-term stays of the mother-in-law usually resolve themselves as a result of keeping a dachshund........ You will think of this text: If you see one with dirt on the next walk sprayed person in rubber boots and with six black and white (Piebald) or colorfully speckled (Tiger) dogs (without a leash!) in tow - it is not an anti-social person, but a dog lover
Your branch manager of the local savings bank......
During the next conversation in private, smiling and bending over the statements from your blocked checking account, you will ask:
"But didn't you know how much a dachshund costs?"
..... A little bit of fun is always good !!!!
