PawPaw Dachshunds is a small family breeding programme run by Daisy Hill. We raise miniature Dachshunds in our home rather than in kennels, we sell them at $1,000, and we would rather you verified us than simply trusted us.
We are a small family breeder of registered Dachshund Puppies. Our goal is to breed beautiful, healthy puppies, which will bring a lot of joy and happiness to the new owners. Our puppies are not kennel-raised but are raised right in our home and treated like our own children. They receive a lot of attention and optimal care. Such as we do sell our puppies with full paperwork, for most cases (based solely on the quality of the dog and fitting into the breeding standard), we need to know, that they will go to loving homes or to a small hobby breeder. Therefore, we want you to tell us about yourself. We don’t just breed Dachshund Puppies; our puppies are our furry family. Talk to anyone who has one of our Dachshund Puppies and they will tell you that the extra time, love, and care we put into hand-raising our puppies are “priceless”. If you are looking for cheap you are not looking for quality. We hope that as you read through this page you will see that we know about our puppies and we care enough that we want our new families to be well informed too.
Our puppies are healthy, vet-checked, and come with a health guarantee for one year. we have some of the best Dachshund puppies you will find anywhere. After purchasing one or more of the puppies from us, we still have your back. It doesn’t mean that the whole deal ends there. Finally, if the need arises, we can arrange expert or do it ourselves, cost-effective and safe solutions for the puppies’ transit to their new homes, which relieves this particular burden from the two parties. Our goal for the future is to popularize a transparent, open way that ultimately helps our puppies in finding new homes for the benefit of all involved.
Most people buying a puppy online are, reasonably, nervous. Here is exactly how to satisfy yourself about us, and we would encourage you to apply the same tests to any breeder you speak to.
We wrote a full guide on how to spot a puppy scam, and it applies to us as much as to anyone. A breeder who objects to being verified is telling you something.
Miniature Dachshunds, predominantly long-coated, across the colours and patterns the breed is known for:
We price every puppy the same regardless of coat or colour. Rarer colouring does not make a better dog, and charging more for it tells you what a breeder optimises for.
We do not breed dapple to dapple. Pairing two dapples can produce double dapple puppies with substantially raised rates of deafness and blindness. It is avoidable, and avoiding it is the breeder’s job. Ask us about any dapple puppy’s parents and you will get a straight answer.
We do not sell “teacup” Dachshunds. There is no such size. Breeding deliberately undersized dogs selects for fragility, and charging a premium for smallness rewards it. We do not use the word.
We talk to every buyer about the back. Intervertebral disc disease is the defining health risk in this breed and prevention starts on day one — ramps rather than jumping, keeping the dog lean, a harness rather than a collar. Our guide to Dachshund back problems covers the warning signs that need a vet the same day.
Veterinary examination by a licensed vet, age-appropriate vaccinations, worming, our one-year health guarantee covering genetic defects, and the paperwork for your own vet. Our puppies can be registered. Delivery is quoted separately on distance and method — see how delivery works — and we give you that figure before you commit rather than adding it after a deposit.
We want to know where our puppies are going, which is why we ask you to tell us about yourself before we agree a sale. A breeder with no interest in where a puppy ends up is a warning sign in itself.
