Living with a Mini Doxie in Hartford, CT
These compact companions are confident and bold, loyal and devoted to family, playful and energetic, and alert and watchful - traits that endear them to Hartford households. Measuring 8-11 pounds when mature, Miniature Dachshunds feature a smooth texture with weekly brushing sufficient for coat maintenance. Their distinctive long backs require specific care considerations - providing ramps or steps for furniture access, maintaining healthy weight, and discouraging jumping help protect their spines throughout their lives. Daily exercise needs include 25-40 minute walks, with their curious noses leading them through Hartford's parks and neighborhoods. Their intelligence combines with an independent streak that responds best to patient, positive-reinforcement training methods. Early socialization during puppyhood creates well-adjusted adults comfortable with Hartford's urban sounds, various people, and other pets. Whether in a Bushnell Park brownstone or a West Hartford suburban home, these versatile dogs adapt to different living situations when their exercise and companionship needs are met.

How We Prepare Mini Doxie Puppies for Long, Healthy Lives
At The Puppy Lodge, our breeding philosophy centers on producing healthy, well-tempered Miniature Dachshunds through careful selection and comprehensive care protocols. Our five-acre facility in Fresno, Ohio features climate-controlled kennels where mothers and puppies remain comfortable year-round. Heated floors during Ohio winters and geothermal cooling systems during summer months maintain consistent temperatures crucial for newborn development and maternal comfort. Between days 3 and 16, each puppy receives daily five-minute ENS sessions integrated into our care routine. These carefully timed exercises stimulate neurological development during a critical window, producing puppies that adapt more readily to new situations, bond more easily with families, and demonstrate enhanced cognitive abilities. Our Purdue University Certification reflects standards exceeding basic breeding requirements, encompassing facility design, health protocols, and breeding practices. Weekly veterinary examinations monitor puppy development from birth, catching any concerns early. Our Purina Pro Plan nutrition program supports optimal growth during critical developmental stages. Every puppy comes with a three-year health guarantee covering genetic conditions, reflecting our confidence in our breeding program's quality. Before departing for Hartford, puppies receive age-appropriate vaccinations and microchipping. We remain available for guidance throughout your dog's lifetime, from housetraining questions to senior care considerations.
