Miniature Dachshund – Sunshine Coast

4 year old female short haired complete tan miniature dachshund, not desexed, microchipped and current vaccinations up to date. Toilet trained, bark trained, amazing with babies/children (raised around them), and with other dogs. NOT a fan of cats. We have gone from a large property to a small one and it is becoming challenging for her to be in the environment with the lack of free space. She is a genuine miniature weighing under 5kg at full growth.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel – Beeliar

Gracie, our beautiful 15month of King Charles Cavalier is looking for her forever home. Kept intending to be our next Mum however she didn't quite meet our high level of screening. Beautiful little dog for a pet home only. Pedigree Papers included No breeding rights will be steralised before rehomed. She has started to be bullied by our other 2 girls which has made her a bit shy and hence its time to find her the family she deserves where her confidence can thrive.

Dachshund – Landsborough

**Regretful Sale** Meet Jet 😊 or his nickname is Jetty. Jet is an 18 month old purebred short haired Dachshund. He has had all his vaccinations, microchipped and not desexed yet. Jet has such an amazing personality, he has the gift of making anyone smile and is very friendly and loving to any human or animals he meets, he's amazing with children. All he wants to do is please you. He has just one flaw- he loves chewing undies! So don't leave them lying around! I have had Jet since he was 8 weeks old. Unfortunately my health has deteriorated and I'm in and out of hospital and I can't give him the love he needs. This breaks my heart and I'm distraught about it but I need to do what's best for him. Jet will come with all his things, his bed, blankets, two full bags of dry food, tins of wet food, food bucket, two slow feeders, water bowl, oodie, ear warmer, toys, worm and parasite protection tablets, collar, lead, treats, harness, dog shampoo, deshedding brush, smart IQ toys (hide treats and has to find out where they are and how to get them). Ideally, Jet would suit a new home that is full of life, other animals or children to play with and gets a lot of attention! Please get in contact if you think you'd be the perfect fit 😊.

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.
