Dachshund Puppies FAQ
Welcome to our Dachshund Puppies FAQ page. Here you will find answers to common questions about availability, pricing, health, adoption, transportation, feeding, training, and ongoing puppy care.
How do I know if you have Dachshund puppies available?
We regularly update our website with current and upcoming litters. You can view all our available puppies on our “Available Puppies” page. If you are looking for a specific coat type, color, or gender that isn’t currently listed, please reach out to us to join our waitlist for future litters.
How much do your Dachshund puppies cost?
Pricing varies depending on the coat type (smooth, longhair, wirehair), size, color, and lineage. Because we invest heavily in health testing, premium care, and early socialization, our puppies are priced to reflect this high standard of ethical breeding. Please contact us directly for specific pricing on our current litters.
What health checks do your puppies receive?
Health is our top priority. All our breeding dogs are DNA tested and screened for breed-specific conditions. Our puppies receive a comprehensive veterinary health check, their first vaccinations, and are regularly dewormed before going to their new homes.
Do you provide a health guarantee?
Yes, every puppy goes home with a written health guarantee. We ensure they are in optimal health before leaving our care, giving you peace of mind when welcoming your new family member.
What is the adoption process?
Our adoption process is simple: First, browse and inquire. Second, fill out a short questionnaire to ensure a good match. Third, reserve your puppy with a 40% deposit. Finally, prepare to bring your puppy home at 8 weeks of age, either via pickup or delivery.
What is your rehoming policy?
We have a strict rehoming policy. If at any point in the dog’s life you can no longer care for them, we require the dog to be returned to TK-Dachshund Puppies. We want to ensure none of our puppies ever end up in shelters.
Do you offer puppy delivery or transportation?
Yes! We use the best pet delivery services to safely ship your puppy directly to your doorstep. Whether you are across the state or across the country, we arrange safe, pet-friendly transport to ensure your Dachshund arrives happy, healthy, and stress-free.
Can I pick up my puppy in person?
Absolutely. Clients are welcome to pick up their new puppy at our location. We love meeting our puppy families in person! We will schedule a convenient time for you to come, finalize the paperwork, and take your puppy home safely in your arms.
What should I feed my new Dachshund puppy?
We provide a diet chart for all our adopted puppies. We recommend high-quality, breed-appropriate puppy food to support their growth and joint health. Because Dachshunds are prone to obesity, portion control is vital to prevent extra strain on their long backs.
Are Dachshunds easy to train?
Dachshunds are highly intelligent but can have a stubborn streak. Training requires patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. We recommend starting gentle training and socialization from day one. Crate training is highly recommended for potty training.
How do I protect my Dachshund’s back?
Dachshunds are prone to Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) due to their long backs. To protect them, avoid high-impact activities like jumping on and off furniture. Provide ramps for couches and beds, maintain a healthy weight, and use a harness instead of a collar for walking to protect their neck and spine.
Do you offer ongoing support after adoption?
Yes, we offer lifetime support. We are a resource for you for the life of your dog. Whether you have questions about training, health concerns, or just want to share puppy bragging rights, we are always here for you.
