FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about choosing, reserving and raising your Dachshund.
Puppies
Are your puppies miniature or standard Dachshunds?
Most of our puppies are miniature Dachshunds, typically maturing between 8 and 12 lbs. Estimated adult weights are listed on each puppy’s profile.
At what age do puppies go home?
Puppies go home at 8 weeks or older, once they have been examined by our veterinarian and received their age-appropriate vaccinations.
Are your puppies AKC registered?
Yes. Our parents are AKC registered and puppies are sold with limited AKC registration as companion pets.
Reservations
How do I reserve a puppy?
Submit a short application. Once approved, a deposit reserves your puppy of choice. You will receive weekly photo and video updates until go-home day.
Is the deposit refundable?
Deposits are non-refundable, but they are transferable to another puppy or a future litter if your circumstances change.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Zelle, Cash App, PayPal, bank transfer and cash at pickup.
Delivery
Do you deliver puppies?
Yes — nationwide. Choose a flight nanny who flies in-cabin with your puppy to your nearest airport, or door-to-door ground transport. You are also welcome to pick up in person.
How much does delivery cost?
Delivery is quoted at cost based on your location and the method you choose. We are happy to give you a quote before you reserve.
Health
What health guarantee do you offer?
Every puppy comes with a written 1-year genetic health guarantee, a full vet exam, vaccinations, deworming, a microchip and complete health records.
Are the parents health tested?
Yes. Our breeding adults are DNA tested for relevant conditions such as PRA-cord1 and Lafora, and screened for patella health.
Care
Are Dachshunds good with children?
Dachshunds raised with gentle socialization are affectionate, loyal family dogs. We recommend supervising young children and teaching them to support a Dachshund’s back when holding them.
How do I protect my Dachshund’s back?
Keep your Dachshund lean, use ramps or steps for furniture, support their chest and hindquarters when lifting, and avoid repetitive jumping. We send home a full care guide with every puppy.
What food do your puppies eat?
Our puppies are raised on a high-quality puppy kibble. We send a starter bag home so you can transition gradually without upsetting their tummy.
