Thinking of a Alpine Dachsbracke? Start with adoption
Purebred and mixed-breed dogs are waiting for a home. The match quiz helps you see which dog fits your routine; an alert tells you when one turns up.
Screenings to discuss with the vet
We don’t have a health scheme of the Alpine Dachsbracke’s own. These are the screenings the Uau health plan suggests for a small dog, plus the ones every dog gets.
- KneecapsBy sizeOnce, from 12 months
- TeethEvery dogFrom 12 months, every 12 months
- Senior check-upBy sizeFrom 10 years, every 6 months
For a dog this size, senior check-ups start at around 10 years (AAHA 2023).
This is a signal from the breed's population, not a diagnosis or a forecast for your dog. Many dogs never have problems in these areas. Take the list to your next visit: the vet decides what to do and when.
In Uau, your dog's health plan puts these tests on the right dates for their age.
