Welcome to
Desert Mini Dachshunds

We are located in Washington State on thirty-eight beautiful acres, where all of our pups are born and raised. We imprint our puppies from birth and handle them every day, several times a day to ensure that they are well socialized and ready to join their new family! They love to snuggle. We handle all of our pups like they are going to homes with children. Desert pups are introduced to new variables and environments in order to grow their confidence and development. As a result, we get very confident puppies that are ready to blend into their new families. 

We are dedicated to breeding high quality, healthy dogs with great dispositions. Our dogs are very friendly and loving and make wonderful companions. We take pride in the cleanliness of our facility, ensuring that each pup we raise is well taken care of in a clean and comfortable environment. 

Our pups are very beautiful and unique. We believe that it is important to have a pup that you can be proud of, but looks are nothing if you don't have great genetics! And we do. That's why we make sure that health is first in our breeding program.

Potty Training: Our puppies are born inside our home and when they outgrow their whelping box they are introduced to a new area where they can play with toys. They have bedding on one side and pellets on the other side so that they learn to go to the bathroom on pellets. This is very helpful with potty training in the future. They look for the pellet potty box when they need to “go.”

AKC or UKC registration and Breeding your dog: All of our puppies come with AKC or UKC registration papers. We sell puppies with limited registration papers, which means you may not breed the dog. This does not limit your dog in any way from participating in AKC or UKC show events or any other organized event. 

Breeders: If you are specifically looking for an animal for a breeding program we are always open to talking with Breeders and discussing our requirements for a full registration.

Outside Breedings: Desert Mini Dachshunds has beautiful males at stud. Our stud service for outside females is available to approved females. Please call us in advance of your dog coming into heat so that we can accommodate you when that time comes for your female to be bred. We can discuss fee and logistics before hand so that things go seamlessly when your female comes into heat. Costs for stud service vary depending on which stud is being used. All offspring must be sold on a limited registration unless previously arranged.

Picking Your Puppy: A litter of five puppies may all look the same but they are all different in personality. We are very careful to get to know each puppy’s personality. We spend lots of time with our puppies socializing them and introducing them to new things to see how they react. This has been a huge benefit to our clients because we can help you navigate the process of choosing a puppy. We spend so much time with these little ones and we want you to have a best fit for your family. There will be no other clients here while you are picking out your puppy. You will have the full facility at your disposal. You may spend time with the pups, playing with them with toys to determine which puppy is the best fit for you and your family, and of course we are here to help! Our facility is 100% ADA accessible for our clients.

Not all of our breedings are listed... we do have some breedings that may not be advertised so please call us for updates on “what's new” at Desert Mini Dachshunds. 

Cost Of Puppy: Our litters are not all the same price. The cost is determined on the breeding itself. (The pedigree of the animals being bred are considered, and if the breeding was natural or if an artificial insemination, or surgical implant were required). Also, the ability to reproduce the breeding. (Some breedings are done with frozen semen with dogs that are exceptional and the breeding may not be able to be done again). Rare breedings cost more.
