I have had working dog breeds my entire life but about a year ago I dog-sat a Dachshund puppy for a night, which became a weekend and I still have him. He is a male and not desexed, is a pure bred with papers. My 13 year old Border Collie who was a great companion to him died 2 weeks ago. I'm going to get another dog as a companion and another Dachshund. Possibly even breed them in the future and want to do it responsibly. I already have a line up of friends and family who will take a puppy and before I get howled down this is not a money making venture.
Please advise the best process. I'm assuming I should get my dog DNA tested and then seek a suitable female through your members.
I see heaps of dogs selling on marketplace and gumtree and prices vary from $1000 to $3000. Why is there such a huge variance?
Any helpful suggestions/advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers
