What Dachshunds are like to live with

The Royal Kennel Club describes the Dachshund as a "German badger and rabbit hunter" that "comes in a variety of sizes and coat types". It says the breed is known in Germany as the Teckel (badger dog), and is still used there for tracking wounded game and going to ground after badgers or rabbits.

Where can I adopt a Dachshund in Luton?

With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Dachshunds on this page are with Foal Farm Animal Rescue (1), Pro Dogs Direct (1) and Stokenchurch Dog Rescue (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.

What is the difference between a Dachshund and a miniature Dachshund?

Size. The Royal Kennel Club recognises two sizes in the UK. The breed standards give an ideal weight of 9 to 12 kg for the standard size and 4.5 kg for a miniature, with a desired maximum of 5 kg. Both sizes come in smooth-haired, long-haired and wirehaired coats, and all six varieties share the same breed standard.

Do Dachshunds have back problems?

They can. Dogs Trust says Dachshunds are predisposed to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), similar to a slipped disc in humans, which can cause weakness, loss of balance and even paralysis. The Royal Kennel Club asks breeders to screen their dogs' spines under its IVDD screening scheme. Ask the rescue whether this dog has had any back problems, and see your vet promptly if you notice weakness or wobbliness.

Are Dachshunds good with children?

It depends on the dog, not the breed. None of the 3 Dachshunds listed in and around Luton is marked by its rescue as able to live with children today. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

Are there Dachshund puppies for sale in Luton?

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every Dachshund on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. The 3 Dachshunds listed in and around Luton today are with Stokenchurch Dog Rescue at Stokenchurch, about 26 miles away (1), Foal Farm Animal Rescue at London, about 29 miles away (1) and Pro Dogs Direct at Aldershot, about 46 miles away (1), and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile. For comparison, Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, and Dogs Trust £300. If you searched "dachshund puppies for sale Luton", the Dachshunds here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.

Can I get a free Dachshund to a good home in Luton, or one under £500?

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 3 Dachshunds listed in and around Luton today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is Stokenchurch Dog Rescue at Stokenchurch, about 26 miles away. Many rescue fees are under £500: Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
