"A little Dachshund with a lot of love to give—ready to meet you!"

Look at me! I am an ACA Mini Dachshund puppy! My Mom is Sally and my Dad is Dexter. I was born on May 4th and I will be ready for my forever home on June 29th! I have been family raised on a mini farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and dewormers. I have been checked by a veterinarian and microchipped. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact John Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.

I will come with my vet and shot record, puppy food, and collar.

We would be happy to help you with setting up transportation and shipping of your puppy if needed at an additional cost.

Dachshunds are classified as either standard or miniature, with standard usually weighing between 16 and 32 pounds, and mini weighing between under 11 pounds; anything between 11 and 16 pounds is referred to as a tweenie. Coats on dachshunds vary and depend on whether they are smooth, wirehaired, or longhaired. No matter which type of dachshund, it is important to clean their ears, as droopy ears on dogs can make them more prone to bacteria. Dachshunds are relatively easy to care for, though they are prone to weight gains so food and exercise to be monitored in order to ensure they stay healthy. These expressive dogs easily capture the hearts of those around them, and are loyal to a fault, often bonding closely with one family member. They love to be a part of everything going on, and will often think that they know best, which means they need focused training from an early age. Dachshunds are mischievous dogs that were originally bred for hunting and can exhibit some traits that reflect that, as well as show destructive behavior when their energy is not properly directed. Because of their size they adapt well to apartment living, but need to be exercised regularly both mentally and physically. Despite their small size, Dachshunds tend to have unusually loud and deep barks, and like to use their voice to communicate. They are little packages with lots of energy and will love to play games with their owners.
