Why Dachshunds?
Dachshunds, often affectionately called “wiener dogs,” are easily recognized by their elongated bodies and short legs, giving them a distinctive and charming look that many adore. Beyond their appearance, these dogs are known for their lively and inquisitive nature. While they are quite intelligent and usually respond well to training, their occasional stubborn streak adds to their endearing personality.
Social by nature, Dachshunds thrive on companionship, making them wonderful pets for individuals and families alike. They tend to develop strong attachments to their owners and can be quite protective, often alerting them to unfamiliar noises or visitors. Their playful disposition means they love engaging in games and outdoor activities, which helps keep both themselves and their owners active.
These adaptable dogs can comfortably live in various environments, from small apartments to larger homes with yards. Their moderate need for exercise makes them suitable for those who may not be highly active, yet they still enjoy regular playtime and walks.
Welcoming a Dachshund puppy into your home means adding a loyal companion who brings joy, laughter, and countless memorable moments. Whether you seek a snuggly friend or an adventurous buddy, a Dachshund is sure to enrich your life with warmth and happiness.
Dachshund Training Tips
Training a Dachshund can be a fulfilling journey, but keeping these essential tips in mind will help ensure a successful experience:
Start Young
Begin training your Dachshund while they’re still a puppy. Early socialization and basic obedience lessons set the foundation for a well-adjusted adult dog.
Positive Reinforcement
Utilize reward-based training methods. Treats, praise, and affection are effective ways to encourage desired behaviors, fostering trust and making training enjoyable.
Consistency is Crucial
Establish clear commands and consistently use them. Repetitive cues help your Dachshund understand your expectations.
Keep Sessions Short
Limit training sessions to about 5-10 minutes to keep your dog engaged. Frequent, brief sessions are typically more effective than longer ones.
Socialize
Introduce your Dachshund to various people, pets, and environments. This exposure helps them become well-rounded and less anxious in new situations.
Be Patient
Dachshunds can have a stubborn streak, so patience is vital. If they struggle to grasp a command, continue practicing without showing frustration.
Leash Training
Start leash training early to prevent pulling. Consider using a harness, as Dachshunds are prone to back issues, and a harness can provide better support.
Manage Barking
Dachshunds are known for being vocal. Teach them a “quiet” command and reward calm behavior to help control excessive barking.
Teach “Come”
This essential command is important for safety. Practice in a secure area, using treats to encourage your dog to return to you.
Make It Fun
Incorporate games and enjoyable activities into your training sessions. A playful approach keeps your Dachshund engaged and reinforces learning.
By following these strategies, you’ll foster a positive training atmosphere that not only helps your Dachshund flourish but also strengthens the bond between you.

Health Screenings
Before adopting out our puppies, we perform several important health screenings to ensure they are healthy and ready for their new homes. These include:
- Veterinary Check-Up: Each puppy undergoes a thorough examination by a licensed veterinarian to assess overall health and identify any potential issues.
- Vaccinations: We ensure that all puppies receive their initial vaccinations, including distemper, parvovirus, and other necessary immunizations according to their age.
- Deworming: Puppies are treated for common parasites, with deworming medications administered at appropriate intervals to ensure they are free from intestinal worms.
- Health Testing for Genetic Conditions: We conduct screenings for common genetic conditions in Dachshunds, such as hip dysplasia, intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), and patellar luxation, as part of responsible breeding practices.
- Microchipping: Each puppy is microchipped for identification purposes, ensuring they can be easily traced back to us if lost. This is at the buyer’s expense.
- Ear and Eye Exam: We check for any signs of ear infections, eye issues, or other health concerns that could affect the puppy’s well-being.
- Socialization Assessment: While not a medical screening, we observe each puppy’s behavior and temperament to ensure they are well-socialized and ready for their new environments.
By conducting these health screenings, we aim to provide peace of mind to new owners, knowing they are bringing home a healthy and happy puppy.
