The Dachshund puppies below are available for sale to loving homes. All puppies come with a one-year health guarantee and package of goodies unique to each puppy. Please note that we can't sell a puppy before speaking to you first, and a deposit is required to reserve a puppy. Please contact us if you're interested in buying a puppy, or if you have questions.
Buying a puppy is a commitment. You must be sure you and your family are up to the responsibility. We suggest you read and fill out our puppy application, which features many questions you'll need to answer before we approve your purchase of one of our home-raised babies.
All Dachshund pet puppies will be placed with a spay/neuter contract. We expect all new owners to have them spayed/neutered as soon as your veterinarian says it is wise to do so.

More About Our Dachshund Puppies
Dachshunds are smart - really smart!
Our Puppies come with over $300.00 worth of medical expenses invested in them before they leave our farm. Puppies need 4 sets of vaccinations before their immune system is built up (that's 4 vet visits), Regular worming, Flea Preventative, Heartworm Preventative and Fecal Check. Depending on your vet, this will run anywhere between $300.00-$400.00. Our Babies already come with these things before they leave us. We can also provide Microchipping with registration to you - this will run you an additional $60.00 to $75.00 once you pay your vet and then pay for the registration. We do not skimp on our pets care and we provide them with the best maintenance plan while they are in our care. Feel free to call with any questions you may have.
Before you search our puppy or adults for sale page to look for that forever lifetime companion, we would like to share with you how we feel about our babies. If you read and feel the connection, then please continue to search for your next companion at Splendor Farms.
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog." Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise." "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person. Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment. "Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human." So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog" just smile, because they "just don't understand."
Our Babies Are Home-Raised!
"Where is my new family?"
(A home-raised Splendor Farms puppy looks out the
window for her new family to come pick her up.)
All Splendor Farms dachshund puppies are born and raised inside of our home - not in the kennel. Puppies are loved and socialized by their moms, dads, and families. Our goal is to breed the sweetest, kindest, most beautiful long-haired miniature dachshund puppies, with great conformation, extra-long ears, and a lot of common sense and intelligence.
All of our puppies are handled from 2 weeks of age (we let the moms take the first two weeks), and after 5 weeks we start a very slow weaning toward dry, but moistened puppy food and a few hours at a time without mom. We strive for healthy, well-adjusted, confident puppies by 10-12 weeks, which is ideal for adoption, unless we are shipping out of state. If we HAVE to ship, we WILL NOT ship before 10 weeks. When our babies are old enough, we place them gradually in the kennels to socialize with other dachshunds their age.
We guarantee your puppy will be paper trained (hopefully house trained) and will know the difference between inside and outside!
Dachshunds in Pet Stores
ALL pet store dogs are either "produced" in puppy mills or by unethical
breeders. Do not be fooled by pet stores that claim to get their puppies
from "local breeders." All puppy mills are owned by breeders. Pet stores
will claim that they get their puppies from breeders and will just casually
omit the fact that these breeders run puppy mills.
Please don't feel compelled to buy a puppy from a pet store because it is
suffering. However bad its situation is, it's parents back in the puppy mill
are so much worse off! If more people would stop buying dogs from pet
stores, then pet stores would not find pet sales profitable and would stop
buying dogs from puppy mills. Therefore, the continuing cycle of suffering
would end. However, it's not the fault of an uninformed individual who buys from
a pet shop. You, however, have been informed, so please don't walk into
another pet store that sells animals. Several pet stores sell supplies and
not animals. There are also numerous mail-order catalogs that sell pet
products. (Note: Purebred cats and other animals are also produced in
animal mills and by unscrupulous breeders.)
If you still feel the need to "rescue" a pet store puppy, perhaps you
should consider rescuing its mother instead! Purebred dachshunds rescued
from puppy mills are often available for adoption.
I am your Puppy, and I will love you until the end of the Earth,
but please know a few things about me:
I am a Puppy, this means that my intelligence and capacity for
learning are the same as an 8-month-old child.
I am a Puppy; I will chew EVERYTHING I can get my teeth on. This is how I explore and learn about the world. Even HUMAN children put things in their mouths. It's up to you to guide me to what is mine to chew and what is not.
I am a Puppy; I cannot hold my bladder for longer than 1 - 2 hours.
I cannot "feel" that I need to poop until it is actually beginning
to come out. I cannot vocalize nor tell you that I need to go, and
I cannot have "bladder and bowel control" until 6 - 9 months. Do
not punish me if you have not let me out for 3 hours and I tinkle.
It is your fault.
As a Puppy, it is wise to remember that I NEED to
go potty after: Eating, Sleeping, playing, Drinking and around
every 2 - 3 hours in addition. If you want me to sleep through the
night, then do not give me water after 8 p.m. A crate will help me
learn to housebreak easier, and will avoid you being mad at me.
I am a Puppy, accidents WILL happen, please be patient with me! In
time I will learn.
I am a Puppy, I like to play. I will run around, and chase
imaginary monsters, and chase your feet and your toes and 'attack'
you, and chase fuzz balls, other pets, and small kids. It is play;
it's what I do. Do not be mad at me or expect me to be sedate,
mellow and sleep all day. If my high energy level is too much for
you, maybe you could consider an older rescue from a shelter or
Rescue group. My play is beneficial, use your wisdom to guide me in
my play with appropriate toys, and activities like chasing a
rolling ball, or gentle tug games, or plenty of chew toys for me.
If I nip you too hard, talk to me in "dog talk", by giving a loud
YELP, I will usually get the message, as this is how dogs
communicate with one another. If I get too rough, simply ignore me
for a few moments, or put me in my crate with an appropriate chew
toy.
I am a Puppy; hopefully you would not yell, hit, strike, kick or
beat a 6-month-old human infant, so please do not do the same to
me. I am delicate, and also very impressionable. If you treat me
harshly now, I will grow up learning to fear being hit, spanked,
kicked or beat. Instead, please guide me with encouragement and
wisdom. For instance, if I am chewing something wrong, say, "No
chew!" and hand me a toy I CAN chew. Better yet, pick up ANYTHING
that you do not want me to get into. I can't tell the difference
between your old sock and your new sock, or an old sneaker and your
$200 Nikes.
I am a Puppy, and I am a creature with feelings and drives much
like your own, but yet also very different. Although I am NOT a
human in a dog suit, neither am I an unfeeling robot who can
instantly obey your every whim. I truly DO want to please you, and
be a part of your family, and your life. You got me (I hope)
because you want a loving partner and companion, so do not relegate
me to the backyard when I get bigger, do not judge me harshly but
instead mold me with gentleness and guidelines and training into
the kind of family member you want me to be here.
I am a Puppy and I am not perfect, and I know you are not perfect
either. I love you anyway. So please, learn all you can about
training, and puppy behaviors and caring for me from your
Veterinarian, books on dog care and even researching on the
computer! Learn about my particular breed and it's
"characteristics", it will give you understanding and insight into
WHY I do all the things I do. Please teach me with love, patience,
the right way to behave and socialize me with training in a puppy
class or obedience class, we will BOTH have a lot of fun together.
I am a Puppy and I want more than anything to love you, to be with
you, and to please you. Won't you please take time to understand
how I work? We are the same you and I, in that we both feel hunger,
pain, thirst, discomfort, fear, but yet we are also very different
and must work to understand one another's language, body signals,
wants and needs. Some day I will be a handsome dog, hopefully one
you can be proud of and one that you will love as much as I love you.
