The Dachshund Network - since 1996, one the oldest Dachshund sites on the Web and formerly
Dachshunds at Cybercom.net
and
The Dachshund Zone
as
mentioned in
"Dogs
on the Web"
Dachshunds are unique little dogs, thus the reason
so many want to own and eventually breed them. Unfortunately,
many unwittingly breed without ever really taking the time to research
the overwhelming costs and time associated with this undertaking.
The end result is usually unhealthy puppies
being brought into an already overcrowded canine world because
proper steps to ensure the dogs' health is not being considered
and implemented in the breeding process.
And who winds up paying the irresponsible breeders
hundreds of dollars for these potentially sickly pets? The uneducated
and unsuspecting public! And this is only the beginning of what
the owner may possibly have to endure - having to care for a constantly
sick companion, frequent vet bills or worse - having to put the
poor dog to sleep.
Before Purchasing Your Next
Puppy, Please Do Your Homework
First, consider the fact that there are TOO many
sweet, deserving, abandoned dogs sitting out there in shelters
that are in desperate need of good homes. These pets often make
the best companions once they have been matched with compatible
families. To explore a deserving rescue dog, please see our Rescue
Links site, for a rescue organization in your area...
 If a new puppy is a must, learning the difference
between a responsible and irresponsible breeder (pup mill) will better help you to find
that quality puppy. Click

For those contemplating breeding, please follow This important
link first... If you require
immediate care for your pet and don't have time to get to the vet,
please refer to our Emergency First Aid section of Canine
Care.
If you need immediate help in the field of veterinary
medicine, poisoning or animal cruelty, please refer to Emergency
Pet Assistance for a list of telephone numbers and Web site
addresses that may be of help to you.
The Pet Links section
may be helpful to those wishing to do research in the area of animal
health.
