Meet Nova 🖤🤎
Nova is a beautiful black-and-tan dachshund from two red parents, making her just as unique as she is lovable. While she enjoys a good play session with her siblings, Nova's heart truly belongs with her people. She is affectionate, gentle, and happiest when she's curled up beside you or tucked into a cozy blanket for a nap.
Nova has a sweet, easygoing personality and loves being held, cuddled, and included in whatever her family is doing. She gets along wonderfully with her littermates and other animals, making her a great fit for a home with existing pets. While she enjoys the company of other dogs, if given the choice, she'd much rather spend her time soaking up attention from her favorite person.
If there is one thing Nova loves almost as much as cuddling, it's being outdoors. She is the puppy most likely to choose an outdoor adventure, whether she's exploring the yard, following interesting scents, or simply enjoying the fresh air. Her curious nature and love for the outdoors make every day an adventure.
One of Nova's funniest quirks is that she seems to notice other black-coated animals immediately. Growing up in a house full of red dachshunds, she gets especially excited whenever she spots another pet with a coat color similar to her own. It's almost as if she realizes she's found a fellow member of the "black coat club" and can't wait to say hello!
With the perfect balance of playful and cuddly, Nova leans just a little more toward being a snuggle bug. She's the kind of puppy who will happily enjoy an outdoor adventure and then come inside to curl up in your lap for some extra love.
If you're looking for a loyal companion who loves the outdoors, gets along with other animals, and wants nothing more than to be close to her favorite person, Nova may be the perfect match. ❤️🐾

Frequently Asked Questions
About
Miniature Dachshund
Puppies
Is a Miniature Dachshund the right dog for me?
The Dachshund (pronounced dak-sund; also known as a ‘Teckel’) originated in Germany in the sixteenth century. They were bred and trained to chase down prey, such as a badger (Dachshund means ‘Badger Dog’) or fox, enter its burrow, kill it, and retrieve it. Full-grown, they typically weigh 9-11 pounds and stand 5-6 inches tall.
How do Miniature Dachshunds behave around young children?
Miniature Dachshunds are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. The Miniature Dachshund is somewhat reserved around strangers and may bark at them, but forms a strong bond with family. It can be too courageous around larger dogs. They're very vocal and bark quite a lot.
What activities do Miniature Dachshunds enjoy most?
The Miniature Dachshund needs a small amount of exercise; medium length walks or a fair amount of play in the yard should be sufficient. Miniature Dachshunds may tire easily so exercise should be spaced out throughout the day. Miniature Dachshunds can live comfortably in an apartment, but it is best if they get an occasional view of the wild. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.
What should I expect with Miniature Dachshund shedding?
The smooth- and long-haired Miniature Dachshund should be brushed occasionally to remove dead hairs. Long-haired Miniature Dachshunds are prone to tangles, so they should be groomed more often. The coat of the wire-haired Miniature Dachshund should be plucked twice a year. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.
Can a Miniature Dachshund live in an apartment?
Miniature Dachshunds are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. They are fairly easy to train.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ

Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
