One of the breeders we were considering when we got Murt were charging £1,200 at the time, now, they are asking £4,600.

I don’t know what they cost but the average dachshund puppy I have seen advertised range from £1800 - £2500 each .

I agree Meg.
Not only could they not visit studs, but they couldn't let outsiders in to view any puppies either.
If people only bother to look on the KC website at registered litters, they are very few compared to how it used to be.

That price is worse than disgusting! As long as fools hand over that sort of money, people will carry on breeding more.
What will be interesting to see is, after lockdown and if proper breeding returns to normal, will the prices follow suit?
Bet they don't!
