Miniature Dachshund – Imperialminidachshunds

We are expecting a beautiful litter from our much loved family dogs. Mum is a chocolate & tan smooth coat miniature dachshund and dad is a dapple miniature dachshund, both with lovely affectionate temperaments. Our puppies are raised in our family home in the Illawarra, NSW, where they are exposed to everyday household life, handled regularly, and grow up around our baby and other dogs. This helps them develop into friendly, confident companions. Possible colours expected include dapple, chocolate & tan, and chocolate variations. Puppies will be: • Vet checked • Microchipped • Vaccinated • Wormed regularly • Raised in a home environment • Started on puppy pad toilet training The puppies will come with documentation of both parents’ DNA fingerprint and health testing results. This testing screens for several common dachshund genetic conditions and helps ensure healthy breeding lines. Copies of these results will be provided to new owners so they can clearly see the health background of the litter. Puppies will leave with a small take-home pack which may include food they are used to, a blanket with mum’s scent, and helpful care information to help them settle into their new homes. We are a small family breeder focused on raising healthy, well socialised puppies with great temperaments. Expressions of interest are welcome now and updates will be provided once the litter arrives. Loving homes only.

Benefits of Getting a Smaller Dog

1. They’re easy to groom

The logic here is pretty simple: there’s much less dog to cover. It’s simple enough to bathe and brush a 7kg Maltese Shih Tzu, and you’ll probably be done in around half an hour. Bigger dogs need more time in the bath and more time being brushed out.

There’s also the side benefit of smaller dogs being more hypoallergenic compared to big dogs. Small dogs simply produce less of the allergens that cause people to have an allergic reaction.

Add to that the option of getting a breed with a double coat that traps hair and dander, and there’s a good chance that people with dog allergies won’t have any kind of reaction.

2. They’re cheaper to feed

Small dogs will naturally eat less than big dogs. While bigger breeds can eat anywhere from 500g to 1kg of food in a day, smaller breeds usually top out at around 150 to 250g of adult food in a day.

The result is that you’re able to feed your dog more times with a single bag of dog food.

The only caveat is that most small dogs need more frequent feeding, since their stomachs are also smaller. This helps prevent indigestion and bloating by allowing the dog to eat only enough food that their digestive system can handle.

It’s especially important to do this with dogs that are prone to overeating. It’s not too hard to do, since adult dogs end up needing only 2 to 3 meals in a day.

3. Their accessories are more affordable

Leashes, collars, harnesses, bowls, beds and so on – you have to buy all these things for your dog. The costs add up over time, and over the lifetime of a dog you can spend a significant amount.

The smaller sized versions of all these things are significantly cheaper than bigger sizes. It’s easier to have spares or alternatives for your small dog.

Smaller dogs are also less prone to break their accessories and toys. They weigh less and don’t play as hard as big dogs, so most of their things tend to last a long time.

Heavy-duty toys are also priced higher than standard toys, because of the amount of material and the durability needed to withstand a bigger dog’s increased power and weight.

4. Their medical care is cheaper

Of course, no dog owner wants to have to bring their dog to the vet. Most pet owners are vigilant about watching out for their dog’s health. However, it’s almost unavoidable that at some point, your dog is going to need medication or emergency care.

Small dogs are generally cheaper to treat than big dogs, because the doses for medication are smaller. This is compounded for dogs that require maintenance medications, typically older dogs that may develop overuse injuries or organ issues.

Small dogs also tend to have longer lifespans than big breeds. This is mainly because large dogs age faster than smaller breeds – a result of the tradeoff between increased body mass and longevity. This increased size can cause more stress on the body’s systems and result in them weakening more quickly.

If you aren’t yet convinced that a small dog is right for you, just have a look at the many small dogs for sale and their adorable little faces. We think you’ll fall in love, just like many other Australian dog owners.

Just make sure that you’re buying from a responsible dog breeder so that you’ll have peace of mind that the dog you get will be healthy and responsibly bred.
