Big Personality, Small Cost: The Cheapest Dog Breeds

4. Dachshund

Dachshunds typically have a price tag as small as their adorable legs, coming in at an average of $500 each. They only grow around 8 to 9 inches tall, though they make up for that in their sausage-like length. One of the main special traits of any dachshund is their intelligence, which means they need plenty of play and stimulation. Originally bred for hunting, they also love to bark and roam, and they can be quite stubborn when it comes to training. That said, dachshunds are very child-friendly. On average, they live up to 15 years.
