Do you ship puppies?

No, but we are happy to meet you at our two closest airports- RSW (In Fort Myers, FL) & PGD (In Punta Gorda, FL).

We can also recommend a flight nanny service we have used personally in the past, but they are their own service with their own prices so you will have to inquire with them for specifics.

Do you have a waitlist?

We no longer take a waitlist. We will post puppies as available to be claimed when we have decided who we are or aren’t holding back for our program. Sometimes this will be earlier on and other times this won’t be until closer to 8 weeks old.
We found that waitlists, even paid waitlists, committed us to individuals but did not commit them as equally back to us. Additionally it limited who we could keep back in our program. Etc.

Be sure to watch for updates on Instagram or Facebook. We do tend to post more to Instagram due to the constant influx of scammers commenting on our Facebook posts with each new post. Scammers are also constantly stealing our content from Facebook to present as their own. No matter how much we report to Facebook nothing is done to remove these fake accounts.

Can I come to your home to pick my puppy?

Unfortunately due to too many situations it’s a no.
We’ve seen too many cases of breeders being robbed, puppies stolen, etc.
We’ve seen countless stories of whole litters contracting Parvo, Coccidea, Giardia, etc from visitors, and so on. These illnesses can be fatal to puppies, especially the younger they are.

There are just too many risks and not enough benefits for the puppies in our care.

We are happy to FaceTime, send bi-weekly pictures and videos (and sometimes more), and match personalities to what the potential owner is seeking in a companion.

What size will your puppies be when they’re fully grown?

We don’t guarantee any sizes.
Due to Miniature Dachshunds being bred down from Standard Dachshunds ultimately sizes can vary. Two 9 lbs miniature dachshunds can still produce a puppy that grows up to be 15 lbs. Genetics are wild and so with that we never promise a size.
We also aren’t aiming to produce teeny tiny dogs. Doing so could result in many health issues. Our focus is more on coat, ear length, low height to the ground, etc. Instead of producing tiny dogs.

How much do dachshunds shed?

Every dog is a little different. It somewhat depends on their lines. Overall smooth coat dachshunds tend to shed more, but not a crazy amount, than longhair dachshunds. I’ve found for me personally that the longhair dachshunds shed minimally. Typically they shed with stress (bath, vet visit, etc) but not much else. There are always exceptions to this though.

When can puppies leave/go home?

Once the puppies are at least 8 weeks old, have had their 8 weeks vet visit, vaccines, and gotten their Florida Health Certificate from our vet, then they are able to go to their new homes.
