Where to Get a Dachshund License

Whether you purchase a puppy or DOG for the first time, or your dachshund has had puppies that you intend to keep, a DOG license for them is a must.

To obtain a DOG license, you will have to show proof that your dachshund has been vaccinated against rabies. This will be shown on a form your vet will provide you with. Along with the form, you will need to pay a license fee. In many cities across the nation, this process can be completed through the mail. Keep in mind that licenses for spayed or neutered dachshunds usually cost less. Also be aware that you may have to pay a fine if you don't properly license your dachshund(s), so avoid the extra cost and just get it done.

All dachshunds six months old and older must obtain a license, and such a license is renewed each year for the life of your dachshund. You will not need to obtain a rabies vaccination every year, but your license will state when the current rabies vaccination expires. Most DOG license agencies issue licenses from January to December, with renewal obtained every January, but again, that is up to local DOG licensing departments. Showing proof of spaying or neutering is only done once, as the licensing authority in your area will keep a copy of the document in their files for the life of the dachshund.

It's not a complicated, or expensive procedure, and serves to protect both your dachshund and the community.
