Our puppies range from $1,000 to $1,500 depending on coat type, color, and pedigree. Long-haired and rare colors (English cream, isabella, dapple) sit at the higher end. Pricing includes first vaccinations, microchipping, deworming, vet examination, a puppy pack, and our lifetime health guarantee.

Every puppy goes home with: AKC registration paperwork, a starter food supply, a blanket carrying our scent, a collar, a sample of supplements, a written health guarantee, a vaccination & deworming record, microchip registration, and lifetime breeder support.

Yes. A non-refundable deposit of $1,000 secures your puppy and is applied toward the final price. Deposits are accepted only after we've reviewed your application and had a phone or video call.

We offer a comprehensive two-year genetic health guarantee covering hereditary and congenital conditions. Our breeding dogs are health tested for IVDD predisposition, PRA, and other dachshund-specific concerns. See the Health Guarantee page for full terms.

Our puppies are raised in our home — not a kennel. They are exposed daily to household sounds, gentle handling, children, our other dogs, and basic crate and potty training from week 5 onward. By the time you bring your puppy home at 8-10 weeks they are confident and adaptable.

Puppies leave at 8 to 10 weeks of age, depending on size and developmental readiness. We will not release a puppy earlier — those final weeks with the litter are critical for behavioral health.

We do not ship puppies as cargo. Buyers can pick up in person or, for an additional fee, we can arrange a private in-cabin flight nanny. We also welcome buyers to drive in and meet us.

We feed and recommend a high-quality small-breed kibble (we will tell you the exact brand when you bring your puppy home) supplemented with bone broth and occasional fresh toppers. Sudden food changes can upset their stomachs — we provide a transition guide.

Yes — when socialized properly and matched to the right family. Our puppies are raised with children visiting regularly. We will be honest with you if a puppy's temperament is not a fit for a household with very young kids.

Healthy miniature dachshunds typically live 14-17 years. Proper weight management, careful handling of their backs, and routine vet care are key to a long, happy life.

Yes. All puppies come with AKC limited registration (full registration is available for approved show or breeding homes only). Pedigrees trace back to championship lines.

We do — and joining the waitlist is free. Submit an application and we will be in touch when we have a planned litter that matches what you're looking for.

Absolutely. After your application is approved we welcome scheduled in-person visits. Meeting our dogs and seeing how they live is the best way to know you're choosing the right breeder.

Our contract requires that the puppy come back to us — at any age, for any reason. We will always take a dog we've bred back into our home. No Rachel puppy ever ends up in a shelter.
