We are anticipating a litter of Miniature Chocolate Dapple Dachshund puppies in the Spring of 2024 from Mocha and Barrett. We will be providing information on this and future litters on our Facebook Page.
Desert Dachshunds is a small, family operated miniature dachshund breeding service located in the high desert of northwest Arizona. We have always had an interest in raising miniature dachshunds and in 2023 we decided to take our interest to the next level and breed some puppies of our own. Our goal is to provide healthy, amazingly beautiful long-haired, miniature chocolate dapple dachshund puppies, appropriately named for their rich brown color that looks just like chocolate. All of our puppies will have the chocolate gene, but we anticipate only about half of our puppies will exhibit the rich brown color. Our puppies are special, but they are not cheap. We did not start this service to get rich, we did it to follow our passion. We are not a "puppy-mill" and will only be breeding our female dachshunds once each year. Our individual breeding registration information is listed below along with their photos.
Our breeding pairs have been carefully selected to ensure quality, adorable puppies while avoiding the genetic problems that may occur from selective breeding (double-dapple). Our puppies will not be "double-dapples".
All of our puppies will come pre-spoiled at no additional cost. Our puppies will come with a complete health record, up to date on all of their shots and dewormed. All of our puppies come microchipped. While pick-up is the most convenient way to connect our buyers to their new puppy, we can also work with the buyer to accommodate delivery. We have used third-party delivery services in our past purchases and have been very satisfied with the outcome. If you want one of our puppies, and can afford the transportation costs, we will work to get it to you. We have been buyer's too and realize how exciting (and nerve racking) this time can be.
Ringo's Chocolate Mocha aka "Mocha" is an ACA registered Chocolate and Tan Dapple Dachshund. Her adult weight is 8.5 pounds. Mocha's bloodline comes from the state of Kansas. We anticipate her delivering her first litter of puppies in March of 2024. Additional photos of Mocha can be found on our Facebook Page.
Little Krispy Cream's Bear Claw aka "Barrett" is an AKC and ACA registered Black, Tan and Creme Dachshund whose bloodline comes from the state of Iowa. His adult weight is 14 pounds. Additional photos of Barrett can be found on our Facebook Page.
Roughstock's Cocoa Bean aka "Cocoa Puff" is registered in both AKC and ACA as a Chocolate and Tan Dapple Dachshund. Her adult weight is 12 pounds and she is the youngest of our two females. Cocoa Puff's bloodline comes from the state of Oklahoma. We anticipate breeding Cocoa Puff in the Spring of 2025. Additional photos of her can be found on our Facebook Page.
Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Our puppies are available on a first come basis. Once you have selected a puppy, we will require a 50%, non-refundable deposit to hold your puppy. The remaining balance and payment schedule is defined in our "Purchase Contract" that is available below for download. The puppies should be available for pick-up or delivery at around ten weeks of age and should weigh approximately three pounds.
We are located in Kingman, Arizona, approximately 90 minutes south of Las Vegas, Nevada. Our closest major airport is Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
All of our dachshund puppies come with a Health Contract. Your puppy will be provided with a full health inspection report from a licensed veterinarian upon pick-up or delivery. We require that within three days of purchase, you take your new puppy to your own licensed veterinarian for a full health check-up. This is intended to benefit both the buyer and the seller. Failure to do this will void any health warranty. A copy of our Health Contract is available below for download.
The price for each of our puppies will vary based on their sex, individual qualities and special features. We expect to set the individual pricing around their four-week age as this is the time that their individual characteristics should begin to display. If you find one of our puppies that you are interested in and would like to discuss a deposit before we have set the price, please feel free to contact us.
Personal checks will not be considered. We do however want to keep this process as simple and convenient as possible for both us and the buyer. We have purchased puppies around the country and have found some of the payment options to be relatively easy and some not so easy. We will try to work with the buyer to accommodate various methods of payment, but we will reserve the right to make the final decision on the form of payment. In the end our goal is really quite simple, provide you with a beautiful miniature dachshund puppy and receive our agreed upon compensation.
Miniature Dachshunds can make excellent pets for the right owner. They are known for their playful and affectionate nature, making them great companions. However, like any breed, they have specific characteristics that potential owners should consider:
It's important to note that individual dogs may vary, and proper socialization, training, and care play a significant role in a dog's behavior.
We exclusively feed our dogs Royal Canin. When you receive your puppy, it will be established on a diet of Royal Canin Puppy food (dry small/petit). We recommend keeping your puppy on this diet until the age of 10-12 months before changing to a quality adult dog food. We prefer to keep dry food always available for our mini dachshunds (instead of scheduled feedings) and they manage to maintain a healthy weight. Occasionally your puppy may experience an upset stomach. Our experience has been that a small helping of cottage cheese resolves this issue fairly soon. Never feed your Miniature Dachshund table scraps.
