Our Story
If you are looking for a potential show puppy or just a family companion puppy, at Honeyman's Dachshunds you can be confident you will receive a well bred happy, healthy, beautiful and well socialized puppy.
We are a small, family orientated Hobby/Show Breeder in Ohio. We have enjoyed Sharing the love of the Dachshund Breed with others over the past years. We are not a Kennel. Our Adults and Babies share our home (many times our beds), as well as our hearts as much loved pets and have wonderful, loving temperaments. Our babies are whelped and raised in our home, well acclimated with other people, children and dogs. They are given lots of play time, love and care. Our Babies are bred for a lifetime of unconditional love & affection, home raised and pre-spoiled. It’s unfortunate that we can't keep them all because we fall in love with each and every one of them. Our few litters are carefully planned with the primary goal of producing Quality Miniature Dachshund puppies, with health, longevity, conformation and temperament being our #1 priority. We believe in Quality not Quantity and are always looking for that next little show puppy.
Our Puppies receive all age appropriate vet exams, worming & vaccinations before they go to their new homes. We worm our babies at 2 - 4 - 6 & 8 weeks. They will have had their 1st shots and their last health check by our Veterinarian at seven - eight weeks of age. At 3 1/2 to 4 weeks of age they come out of the whelping crate into a large puppy play pen in our living room and start their potty pad & litter box training so that they are well associated with potty training, other people, dogs and household noises by 8 weeks of age.
Our Adults have their yearly vet exams, receive all of their yearly vaccinations including monthly heart worm preventative and are wormed monthly.
We provide shot - worming & health records, 16 pg. information booklet on Puppies and Dachshunds, Pedigree, sample or bag of Kirkland Domain Chicken & Pea Puppy Food puppy packet w/ food and coupons, Baby pictures, blanket and toy with siblings scent, & a written 1 Year Health Guarantee/Sales Contract which protects, the Buyer, the Breeder, and most importantly the Puppy. AKC Registration is only given with Breeding & Show Rights. We are very selective when it come to giving Full AKC Registration.
We have smooth (short hair) and long coats & occasional wire coats in various colors (UK English Cream, Red, Blk & Tan, Chocolate, in solid, dapple, piebald, & dapple piebald. We do not do the double dapple as we feel there are too many cons and genetic defects to this type of breeding.
We require a deposit of $300.00 for puppies $650.00 and below (Older pups 6+ months or adults) . A deposit of $350.00 for puppies above $651.00 - $1000.00. A deposit of $500.00 for all puppies over $1000.00. This deposit is required to hold the puppy of your choice. All deposits are non-refundable. I also have the right to refuse any sale to anyone at anytime for any reason, especially if I feel it is in the best interest of the puppy!!
I have a spay/neuter contract that everyone must sign unless breeding & show rights are granted....these are given to only a select few!!
(ATTENTION): I do NOT ship my Puppies as I feel this is not in the best interest of my Babies. There are 4 ways for us to accommodate you in getting on of our Puppies:
1. We will continue to welcome our new prospective families into our home for puppy play visits and to pick up their new Puppies as we have always done.
2. I will continue to be happy to drive and meet my new Parent’s halfway for a reasonable delivery fee. I have driven up to 8 hours 1 way to meet new Parents.
3. You may fly in to meet me at the Airport or to come visit our home to pick up your Puppy and then fly it back home on the flight with you as your carry-on. I will gladly meet you at Dayton, Cincinnati or Columbus Airports with your new Baby or to pick you up. (Dayton is the closest Airport).
4. You are more than welcome to purchase a round trip Airline Flight for me, forward me the 125.00 charge the Airlines charge me to bring the puppy on as my carry-on, and I will personally deliver your new Baby to you at the Airport of your choice.
All puppies must be at least 8 weeks of age before transferring to their new homes and most are 9 - 10 weeks before they are ready to leave our home and their siblings. All Puppy costs, which are paid by the purchaser, (If applicable) must be paid in full before the your puppy leaves with you to its new home.
We do not knowingly deal with Pet Stores, Puppy Brokers or Puppy Mills.
We reserve the right to refuse the sell of a puppy to anyone in question. We want our Puppies to have the best forever homes, with people that will LOVE them as a new addition to their family. All of our new Parents are assured that they have a lifetime of support from us with open communication lines for the lifetime of their new baby.
