How to adopt one of our precious babes
First let’s read some important information about the process of choosing one of our sweet puppies. What you can expect and know that we are here for you and your new baby.
We breed our miniature dachshunds to have a sweet temperament . Some are more outgoing and some are more reserved, others fall in between those. You will help to mold them as they grow up. We have a short easy quiz that you can take to help you decide the dog personality for your lifestyle.
Which miniature dachshund makes the better pet, male or female
Males are usually more affectionate, attentive and sometimes more demanding of attention. They are attached to their family. They tend to be more reliable and less moody. They are more outgoing, more accepting of other pets and take to children quicker than a female. However, males can be more easily distracted during training, as males like to play often. Neutered males rarely exhibit behaviors such as humping, marking or lifting legs once testosterone levels decrease after neutering. If neutered early they usually don't ever raise a leg to urinate. Males generally cost 1/2 the amount of money to be altered. The females rule the pack. They determine the pecking order and they are who compete to maintain that order. As a result females are usually more independent and stubborn than the males. Most fights will usually break out between 2 females. Yes they are loving and sweet also, they tend to be more of a one person dog. They are more cautious of strangers. She reaches mental maturity quicker and is more focused. She is easier as a rule to train. So it depends on what you want from your pet as to which is better for you.

Findings All our puppies are sold as pet quality. No guarantee is made as to their ability to show, adult weight, or temperament after leaving our home environment. Your puppy will have age appropriate vaccinations, de wormings, a fecal check , and examined by a licensed veterinarian. Your puppy comes with a lifetime guarantee against congenital diseases/defects. The buyer must have the puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within 72 hours to validate the lifetime guarantee of no congenital disease or defect. IVDD is not a genetic disorder or disease. In the unlikely event that a life threatening genetic disorder is found, you must contact Doxie Do’s within 48 hours of this diagnosis by a licensed veterinarian. An examination and diagnosis from a second non associated licensed veterinarian will be needed. Both certified reports must be sent to Doxie Do’s. If the puppy has not passed from the condition, it is to be returned to the breeder. The puppy will be replaced with a different one of equal value when available. If the puppy passes, an autopsy must be done proving it was caused by a genetic disease/defect in order to be replaced with another. If the puppy is euthanized without the breeders permission, the guarantee is void. All expenses of any of these processes are the full responsibility of the owner. Any legal matters will be resolved here in a Brown county court. During a change in environment puppies can become stressed and develop minor problems. A 1/2 tsp of coconut oil per 10 lbs can help with problems such as giardia, coccidiosis, upper respiratory symptoms, kennel cough, etc. Also giving the pre/probiotic chews helps keep their stools consistent. I recommend you also take them to your veterinarian to be treated as soon as possible if needed. This is not congenital. If you have any concerns or need advice please leave us a message or give us a call, It is our pleasure to help you. Thank you for adopting a puppy from Doxie Do’s.
This guarantee does not cover any health issues caused by neglect or injury from the buyer. IVDD is not a congenital disease or defect. It is a result of being over weight and injury. The long back of a dachshund and other short leg breeds can be prone to IVDD. Keep them at a healthy weight and in good physical shape. Deter them from jumping from high points and support their backs when picking them up.
This guarantee does not include minor illnesses and health issues such as colds, allergies, internal or external parasites or umbilical hernias. However, the breeder will disclose any known illnesses or health issues prior to the sale.

Recommendations for our miniature dachshunds Vaccination schedule- 1st 5way at 6-8 weeks is already given, 2nd 5way at 10-12 weeks, 3rd 5way at 14-16 weeks along with a rabies vaccine. Lepto vaccines are not recommended for dachshunds as they can have life threatening reactions and death. Your puppy needs to be put on a 3 month schedule of worm treatment. I use Safeguard or Panacur, sold over the counter. It is recommended to spay a female after she has her first heat cycle, a male at 8 months to a year for neutering. Trim their nails, front and back as needed, every 1 to 2 months. Brush their teeth daily and give chews for dental care. And of course lots of snuggles
