Hello everyone! A close family member recently rescued a small female dog who, just a couple of weeks later, surprised us with five beautiful puppies. I stepped in to help care for them and make sure each one finds a safe, loving home. The proceeds from the puppies will be used to spay mom and help cover the vetting and daily care of the litter. We believe mom is a Chiweenie, but we don’t have information on the father at this time. Each puppy will go home with: Up-to-date vaccinations Deworming A full vet health check One free initial vet visit through Banfield Pet Hospital One month of complimentary Trupanion health insurance They are being raised right in our home and are getting plenty of exposure to children, cats, and dogs of different sizes. My goal is to make sure they grow into confident, healthy companions and are placed with families who will truly love them. While this litter was unexpected, I’ve been raising and breeding Alaskan Malamutes for nearly 15 years, so they are receiving experienced, attentive care every step of the way — just without the inflated breeder price.

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.

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.
