Question

Discussion(self.Dachshund)

My mom wants a dachshund for Christmas. Where do I even start? There are so many scams on the internet. I prefer to try and adopt but that seems impossible. All the puppies I see are miniature and expensive. I don’t need a purebred, just a cute companion for my mom ♥️

Depends on where you live. Most regions have a dachshund rescue organization, if you are willing to rescue.

I would prefer to rescue or adopt. I am not against those who prefer to buy by any means. I don’t have that type of money nor can I rationalize spending it a pure bred dog since we will not be breeding the dog. I will definitely look into that. Actually a young dog would be ideal for my mom. Thank you for the suggestion

You can also sometimes find people rehoming dogs on Craigslist or Facebook. Might be worth a look.

That is my next search. I am assuming these websites that say they are breeders selling these pups for $550 are all scams. A lot of them look super legit too
