Miniature Dapple Dachshund are a breed of dachshunds with short legs and long, wire-haired fur. They are known for their intelligence, friendliness, and small size, making them great pets.

Prices for Mini Dapple Dachshund puppies can range anywhere from $400 to $1500. These pretty pups are often much more expensive than the typical Dachshund because breeders consider these dogs to be rare.

The Dachshund breed, which has an average lifespan of 12 to 14 years, occasionally suffers from diabetes, gastric torsion, deafness, seizures, patellar luxation, keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), and Cushing’s disease.

Dachshunds are fairly intelligent dogs, but they sure can be obstinate. They have a few characteristics that you might want to consider when training as well, such as a high potential for wanderlust, a tendency to bark and howl, and a high prey drive.

Male Dachshunds are better with other animals than female Dachshunds because they’re friendlier. Female Dachshunds can get territorial with their designated person and won’t want to share. Female Dachshunds also tend not to get along with other female Dachshunds.

This may be the breed most likely to bite. These dogs are usually playful and make great pets, but they do chase smaller animals, show aggression to strangers and new dogs, and if they develop separation anxiety, tend to be destructive and chew up the house.
