Questions & Answers
A typical dog grooming session lasts from 15-45 minutes. It really depends on how much work needs to be done on your sweet puppy and if you are paying for any "excess" treatments for them. When you get them a grooming appointment the groomers can give you a more specific time.
No, our dogs are never collected from shelters. We choose to breed Dachshund with the objective of placing them in great homes. They come from carefully selected and well-reputed breeders, and we frequently receive inquiries from new clients wondering whether our pups were bred by breeders because they appear to be so healthy and happy.
You should generally allow them to eat on demand 4-6 times each day. Because every dog is unique, you'll need to start experimenting with your new puppy's feeding schedule. As a general guideline, they usually eat four or five times a day on an "as needed" basis. Allow the new puppy to let you know when he or she is full or hungry.
Any size of Dachshunds is appropriate for little living spaces. They require moderate amounts of exercise, but they're adorable! Because to their smaller stature, Dachshund pups may be excellent apartment dwellers since they don't take up much space. You may have to carry them up the stairs if you don't live on the ground floor.
The costs for an in-house spay/neuter procedure range from $50-$500 depending on where you live. Some clinics offer discounts when they sterilize over five dogs in one day, book cheaply dated surgeries, or earn referrals to group homes. There are also facilities like The Animal Welfare Association (in NY) that offer the procedure for free!
Every Dachshund puppy is small. After all, they are puppies! But because of their size, it's important to know that one-year-old Dachshunds average 14" at the shoulder and weigh between 10–25 lb. Two-year-olds are usually 16" with a weight range of 12-30 lb. Going up in age to 3 years old brings an average shoulder height of 18", plus a weight range from 13–34 lb. so honestly, any size is great.
No. Visit our breeders in other parts of Texas for quality dogs. We don't want you to get stuck with just one breed and one region if that's not what you're searching for.

Yes, they can! Dachshunds are capable of dealing with a wide range of temperatures and may live both inside and outside. Dachshunds were developed as a badger or rabbit hunters, so they've lived in harsh weather conditions before. They don't do well if their shelter from the elements is taken away from them, but can do fine with a sweater or coat.
Dachshunds are lively dogs that have a lot of energy. Because they are so tiny, they have a lot of energy to spare! Dachshunds have a lot of energy packed into their little bodies. However, if you exercise them on a regular basis, this will lead to less activity in them.
The main characteristics of ethical small-scale dog farming are that the breeders aim to keep the number of dogs they breed at a sustainable level to avoid overpopulation or other issues. This also means that they devote adequate medical care for all their breeding dogs coupled with nutritious feed. Our breeders will meet these standards.
