Whooping cough (pertussis) is an infection of the respiratory system caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis (or B. pertussis). It mainly affects babies younger than 6 months old who aren't yet protected by immunizations, and kids 11 to 18 years old whose immunity has started to fade.
Your typical Dachshund puppy that is AKC or CKC registered, and the owner can provide proof of the papers, will charge anywhere from $300 to as much as $750. A male Dachshund may be around the $250 to $500+ range. The cost will depend on the type, quality, age, breeder and your geographical location. If the parents arenât registered and the breeders donât have certified papers, the puppy can range anywhere from $50 to $200.
It Depends on the Type. The American Kennel Club recognizes two types of dachshunds: the miniature dachshund and the standard variety. The miniature dachshund is characterized by weighing less than 11 lbs. by the age of 12 months, while the standard dachshund's weight can vary from 16 to 32 lbs. by the time the puppy is a 1-year-old. Variations in the standard makes it difficult to pinpoint an exact weight for a 5-month-old puppy.
