Please don't be offended if we ask you a lot of questions., if for some reason the new owner is unable to keep his or her puppy, we will always have a home for the dog for life. Please do NOT buy a puppy on impulse. Dachshunds can live up to 18-20 years. This is a serious commitment. Please be certain you are ready, willing and able to live up to every aspect of what it may take to care for this dog for his or her entire life before purchasing any dog. Dogs are not disposable!!! They require a lot of patience, love and time from their owners. Please do not purchase one of our puppies unless you can provide them with this or are willing to return them to us if your circumstances change. We do not stop caring for our puppies once they are sold. We do understand Life happens and we find ours
