We began Dreamheart Dachshunds in 2015! However, I spent many years prior studying the breed standard, traveling to dog shows and learning the process of breeding. I dedicated years to learn the ins and outs of this industry to provide the most spectacular puppies for families like yours. I love Dachshunds and I am blessed everyday to be continuing our program for many years to come.

Yes! All of our dogs are registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC) We are also a Bred with H.E.A.R.T. Breeder. Pedigrees are available on request.

Our females have a schedule where they are going into heat usually every six to eight months. This does not mean we will breed every heat. Each female is evaluated before a breeding takes place. Usually we have a Spring/Summer season and a Fall/Winter season. Follow our Facebook page to stay connected with us and our dogs.

Our pricing is as follows for male and female puppies: Black & Cream: $2,500 Chocolate & Cream: 3,000 Shaded Cream: $3,000 ee Cream: $3,500 Dapples & Pies: $4,000

Please contact us, and we will email you a link to complete our Puppy Application. Once submitted, you will be contacted upon your approval status. Once approved you may move forward with our Deposit process and we will send you the information through email or text.

When you are placed on our waitlist, we require a deposit of at least $500.00. (Deposit amounts may vary based on individual circumstances. This deposit goes towards the full price of your puppy. This allows us to ensure the care and expenses are taken care of for your puppy and our dogs before pickup at 8 weeks. We do not refund deposits of any amount. We do this because we only accept serious inquiries, so please understand our terms before you submit a deposit of any amount.

To reserve a puppy already born and available, we ask 50% of the total price be paid to reserve your puppy. The remainder may be paid with cash only at pickup.

Yes we most DEFINITELY offer a health guarantee. It is important for us to not only produce top quality dachshunds but also healthy dachshunds. All puppies are guaranteed for two years for any congenital disease. If death should occur suddenly, a notarized veterinarian report from a full autopsy, stating from a medical certainty that the death was caused from a prenatal state will be required, at the expense of the Buyer. Breeder's vet must agree and confirm the diagnosis. A replacement puppy of equal value and same gender will be given to the Buyer from the next available litter. This guarantee does not cover diseases that vaccinations could prevent.

For the safety of our puppies and our family, we do not allow in-person visits. We take every precaution to ensure our puppies remain healthy and secure until they are ready to go to their new homes.

Yes, absolutely. Once the litter is born we ask that you give us 4-6 weeks. After that, you are able to come by and make your choice in person. We can also Skype or FaceTime if that works better for you. Please remember we do have some in-house rules such as removing shoes at the front door. Walking slowly around frolicking puppies, no handling puppies on the couches, and children can only handle puppies with supervision and on the floor. Children are also not allowed to pick up or carry puppies. We also ask you to please leave your other pets at home so we do not stress our dogs and puppies.

We will evaluate each puppy as it progresses and develops. Most puppies are thriving on solid food and water at 8 weeks. If a puppy needs more time to develop we ask for your patience however most puppies are ready to go at 8 weeks.

We absolutely can. We just ask a boarding fee of $25 per day.

We do not. Simply because the travel on a plane can be extremely stressful and sometimes unsafe. We ask that you drive to pick your puppy or you can fly and pick up as well. I am always available to help find the best hotel and accommodations for your trip.

We're happy to offer stud service to experienced and established breeders to ensure the best outcomes for both dogs and pups.
