My breeding program includes AKC and CKC registered Miniature Dachshunds. New puppy owners receive registration paperwork, along with health records, vaccination information, and copies of the parents’ pedigrees.
Please contact me if you have questions about the registration available for a particular puppy.

What colors of Miniature Dachshund puppies do you raise?

Black and Tan
Blue and Tan
Chocolate and Tan
Cream
Isabella and Tan
Red
The colors available in each litter depend on the parents. If you’re looking for a particular color, I recommend contacting me about upcoming litters and our waiting lists.

Miniature Dachshunds come in several coat patterns, including Dapple, Piebald, Sable, and Wild Boar.
My current breeding program includes Dapple, Piebald, and Sable Dachshunds. The patterns available will vary depending on each litter.
If you’re interested in a particular pattern, please let me know so I can explain how to join the appropriate waiting list.

Do you have long-haired and short-haired Miniature Dachshund puppies?

Yes! I currently raise both long-haired and short-haired Miniature Dachshunds.
Long-haired Dachshunds have soft, flowing coats, while short-haired Dachshunds have smooth coats that require less grooming.
I previously raised wire-haired Dachshunds and hope to offer them again in the future, but I do not currently breed wire-haired puppies.

How do I get on your Miniature Dachshund puppy waiting list?

Joining my waiting list is easy! Simply email me with the color, pattern, coat type, and sex of the puppy you’re interested in.
For example, if you’re looking for a female red short-haired Dachshund, you can put “Short Hair Red Female” in the email subject line.
If you’re interested in several different colors or patterns, please send a separate email for each preference.
I maintain different waiting lists and contact interested families when matching puppies become available.

How do you choose families from the waiting list?

My waiting lists generally work on a first-come, first-adopt basis, provided the prospective family can offer a safe, loving, and responsible home.
Once a litter is born, I wait a few days before posting puppy pictures and contacting families on the appropriate waiting lists.
Finding the right home for each puppy is very important to me, so I also ask prospective owners a few questions about their experience with dogs and their home environment.

How much is the deposit to reserve a Miniature Dachshund puppy?

A $300 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve an available Miniature Dachshund puppy.
Deposits can be paid by personal check or money order made payable to Patti Gann.
Please contact me before sending a deposit to confirm the puppy’s availability and reservation details.

How much do your Miniature Dachshund puppies cost?

The price of a Miniature Dachshund puppy may vary depending on the individual puppy.
If you’re interested in purchasing a puppy, please contact me for current pricing, availability, and information about upcoming litters.
I can also provide details about our waiting lists and expected litter dates.

Do your Dachshund puppies come with a health guarantee?

Yes! All of my Miniature Dachshund puppies come with a health guarantee.
I ask new owners to take their puppy to a veterinarian for an examination after purchase. If the veterinarian identifies a life-threatening health condition covered by my guarantee, please contact me so the findings can be verified.
Under the terms of my guarantee, you may receive a refund or another puppy.
I stand behind my puppies and want every family to feel confident bringing home their new Dachshund.
