How much is a Dachshund in Singapore, and is it HDB-approved?

About the Dachshund
The Dachshund is a bold little scent hound built long and low. Miniature Dachshunds are HDB-approved, easy to groom, and full of character, but their signature back needs protecting for life.
Where the Dachshund comes from. Bred in Germany to hunt badgers underground (Dachs means badger), the Dachshund’s long body and bold streak come straight from that go-to-ground working past.
In temperament, expect a dog that is curious, bold, loyal and stubborn. It suits flat-dwellers who want a low-grooming small dog with big personality and can manage the back-care rules. Knowing why the breed was originally developed is the quickest way to predict how it will behave in your home: a working heritage usually means more exercise and stimulation, while a companion heritage usually means a dog that simply wants to be near you.

Colours and coat variants of the Dachshund
Dachshund litters here typically arrive in Black & Tan, Red, Chocolate & Tan, Cream, Dapple and Tan. Rarer colours in a litter are priced toward the top of the $4,288–$6,088 range and common ones toward the bottom; the colour never changes the temperament, health screening or paperwork. If you want a specific colour, say so in your first WhatsApp message and we will tell you honestly whether one is in a current litter or worth waiting for.
Can you keep a Dachshund in an HDB flat?
The Dachshund is on HDB’s approved list and suits flat living. HDB allows one dog per flat from its approved breed list, and keeping a non-approved breed can mean a fine and rehoming, so it is worth getting right before you commit. See our full list of HDB-approved dogs, or read the official HDB pet rules.
Living with a Dachshund in Singapore
The climate reality
The smooth coat copes well with the heat; short-legged dachshunds still prefer shaded pavements over hot midday tarmac.
Health to know about
IVDD (intervertebral disc disease) is the defining risk of the long spine. Prevent jumping off sofas and up stairs, use ramps, and keep them lean; back injuries are far easier to prevent than to treat.
Every puppy follows Singapore's core vaccination schedule (weeks 6, 8 and 12, with deworming at each visit) and comes home around week 9. See the full puppy vaccination schedule.
Grooming, care and exercise
Coat and grooming
The Dachshund has a medium-shedding coat with low grooming needs. A quick weekly brush and occasional bath are usually all the coat asks for.
Exercise and energy
The Dachshund needs a proper daily walk plus play and a bit of training each day. It is adaptable to a flat, but a bored Dachshund will invent its own fun, so keep its body and mind occupied.
For the first weeks at home, our puppy training guide covers crate, potty and settling routines that suit a Singapore flat.
Is a Dachshund right for you?
A good fit if…
Flat-dwellers who want a low-grooming small dog with big personality and can manage the back-care rules.
Think twice if…
There are few deal-breakers with the Dachshund, though every dog needs time, training and a vet budget.

Cost of owning a Dachshund in Singapore
Beyond the purchase price, budget for the monthly reality of a Dachshund: around S$40 to S$80 a month on quality food for a small dog, little grooming cost beyond home brushing and the odd bath, plus the annual AVS licence (S$13.50 to S$81), routine vet visits, and preventive care such as deworming and parasite control. Many owners also take out pet insurance, which can run a few hundred dollars a year. A Dachshund typically lives 12–16 years, so you are planning for a long, rewarding commitment, not a one-off cost.

How to buy a Dachshund ethically in Singapore
"Who is an ethical Dachshund breeder, and who should I avoid?" is the most asked question in Singapore's dog communities, and it has a checkable answer rather than a rumour-based one. Singapore has plenty of unlicensed and backyard sellers, a Dachshund is a 10-plus-year commitment, and three checks protect you from the wrong source.
1. Verify the licence
Only buy from an AVS-licensed seller and check the number yourself on the AVS registry. Ours is BR25052.
2. See the puppy and papers
Meet the Dachshund in person, and ask for its health certification, vaccination booklet and ancestry records before you commit.
3. Be wary of bargains
A Dachshund priced far below the $4,288–$6,088 range, or a seller who rushes you, is a red flag for an unlicensed or unhealthy source.
Flexible on breed and age? Adoption is the most ethical route of all; our honest adopt-or-buy guide explains what adoption in Singapore actually offers.

Dachshund questions, answered
Is a Dachshund HDB-approved?
Yes. The Dachshund is on HDB’s approved breed list, so a Miniature Dachshund can be kept in an HDB flat with a valid dog licence.
How do I protect a Dachshund’s back?
Discourage jumping on and off furniture, use ramps or steps, keep the dog at a lean weight, and support the chest and hindquarters when carrying, since IVDD is the breed’s main health risk.
How much is a Dachshund puppy in Singapore?
An AVS-licensed, vaccinated Dachshund puppy from Puppy Singapore is priced within $2,888 to $4,488, including vet check, vaccinations to date, health certification and ancestry records.
How much exercise does a Dachshund need?
The Dachshund needs a proper daily walk plus play and a bit of training each day. It is adaptable to a flat, but a bored Dachshund will invent its own fun, so keep its body and mind occupied.
Are Dachshunds good with children and families?
Dachshunds can live happily with children in a calm, respectful household. Their curious character means early socialisation and older, gentle kids tend to be the best fit.
How much does it cost to own a Dachshund in Singapore?
Beyond the Dachshund's purchase price of $4,288–$6,088, expect roughly S$40 to S$80 a month on food, plus grooming, the annual AVS licence (S$13.50 to S$81), routine vet care, and optional pet insurance. Grooming is the swing factor: low-grooming coats cost more to maintain.
How big does a Dachshund get?
The Dachshund is a small breed, weighing about 4–7 kg (miniature) fully grown. That size is within HDB’s approved range, so it suits a flat.
How do I find a responsible Dachshund breeder in Singapore?
Insist on an AVS-licensed seller whose licence you can verify on the government registry, ask to see the puppy in person and its health and vaccination records, and be wary of unusually cheap Dachshund listings or sellers who rush you past the paperwork. Puppy Singapore is licensed under BR25052 and shows you exactly where to check it.
How long do Dachshunds live?
A Dachshund typically lives 12–16 years. A lean weight, a quality diet, regular dental and ear care, and yearly vet checks are the biggest levers on a long, comfortable life.
