Dazzling Doxies

HOW WE RAISE OUR PUPS:
Our puppies are raised indoors only, and are a part of our family. We do allow our adult dogs to play and exercise outside in our backyard, but puppies and their mothers are strictly indoors. They are dewormed every two weeks, and see our veterinarian for their first vaccination, and a very thorough health examination, including a f***l screening on each puppy, heart murmur

screening, and receive flea prevention before leaving for their new families. Our dogs are not all from the same registry, some are AKC, some APRI, and some CKC. We base the decisions in our program on the dogs temperament, structure and health, not what logo is on their paperwork. All of them come with registration of some type. BREEDING RIGHTS VS. PET ONLY
All of our upcoming puppies will be PET ONLY! We will never offer Breeding Rights to an unknown person. They are only available to those that I have developed a relationship with and am very familiar with their breeding program IN REAL LIFE. It takes time to establish a relationship and build that trust. If you are solely looking for a breeding dog, there are other programs offering that. We support other small breeding programs, but have had some very negative experiences with breeders who tried to appear responsible on websites and social media, but were in fact negligent. Trust is earned, and although we want our bloodlines to continue, we have seen firsthand that responsible breeding programs are difficult to come by. Thank you for understanding.

1. PHOTO UPDATES
Once a deposit is placed, we are happy to send updated videos and pictures of your puppy as it grows. We strive to send high quality images so please be patient with us as we often spend several hours capturing non blurry pictures for families.

2). PUPPY SAFETY
Please do not take your puppy to the pet store/dog park/ after you pick them up as they still need several booster shots to complete their vaccinations. EVERYONE wants to touch and kiss a little puppy just like they do all new babies. But just like a human baby, a puppy’s immune system is fragile and they are more susceptible to illness and disease than adult dogs. Also, please do not buy treats for your puppy until they are several months old as their digestive system can be more sensitive while they are young and developing.

3). HEALTH GUARANTEE
Every puppy leaving will come with our health guarantee. Every puppy is screened thoroughly by our veterinarian and sent home parasite free, with a clear f***l, and with age appropriate vaccinations. We provide a lifetime health guarantee against any fatal congenital defect. If at any age, your dog should pass away as a result of a fatal genetic flaw, you will receive a puppy of the same value at no cost from your choice of an upcoming litter. We require documentation from a licensed veterinarian showing the health problem was genetic/congenital, and directly resulted in the dog’s demise. Due to the breed standard, Dachshunds have a predisposition to spinal/ back problems. We cannot provide a health guarantee against back/spinal issues, as so many factors outside of our control contribute to disk disease. However, we do everything in our power to breed dogs with excellent confirmation, and have not had disk disease present itself in any of our dogs. To prevent injury, we recommend keeping your dog at a healthy weight. Also take care that your dog does not jump to and from high places. We suggest pet stairs or ramps for access to beds, couches, ect. Another key factor in healthy spine development is avoiding spaying and neutering at a young age. Studies have shown early spay and neutering increases the risk of IVDD (disk disease) in Dachshunds.

4). REFUND POLICY
We are committed to being responsible for our dog’s health and safety through the course of their lives. Because of this, we require that any puppy from our program be returned ONLY to us if a family is no longer able/willing to keep them. This is without a doubt one of the most important and vital parts of our program. We never want a dog to end up in a shelter, euthanized, or in a home we have not screened to find a proper fit. This is to protect them and also to ensure they find the best new home possible. We do not offer full refunds due to training difficulties, life changes (new baby, moving, kids lost interest, ect)
We will offer a partial refund if the dog has been kept up to date on vaccinations and heartworm prevention and documentation is provided. If not, we require the dog to be returned to us with no refund, so that we may begin the process of providing the needed veterinary care, training, and select a home that is better suited for it. If we find that a dog is sold/surrendered without first contacting us for the option to be returned, we will take legal action. Understand that every time we take in any dog, whether a puppy that’s been gone 2 days, or a 2 year old, it must complete a 10 day quarantine to protect the other dogs in our program. Often, dogs are shaken by the transition and need behavioral training and time to adjust. This not only takes time, it also costs money. Especially if heartworms/neglect are involved. We encourage all families to take this into account when purchasing a puppy. Purchasing, raising, and training a dog are huge responsibilities and a lifelong commitment. They are a living creature with needs, emotions, and their best interest matters above all else.

5). PRICING
Due to Facebook policy, all pricing must be discussed in private messages, text or phone calls. Our price range varies based on multiple factors but we are open about it and welcome questions. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. We’ve raised Dachshunds for years, so we’re very familiar with the breed and are very open with our potential adoptive families about what to expect from their new baby. Just let us know what we can help with!
