Great Companion for Every Family Member
Miniature Dachshunds, also known as Mini Doxies, are especially dear to us at The Puppy Lodge. Their cheerful, loving, and loyal traits make them perfect for families and dependable little watchdogs.

In our breeding program, puppies come in many colors—Black, Blue, Chocolate, Cream, Tan, Red, Sable, Dapple, and Merle. Most of our puppies stay under 13 pounds as adults and adapt well to both small apartments and large homes.

Why People Love Our Puppies
Our work at The Puppy Lodge has raised industry standards, earning us a nationwide reputation for top-quality Registered Miniature Dachshund puppies. Each adult dog undergoes health and genetic testing to help us raise the healthiest puppies possible. From the first day, our puppies are raised to exceed Purdue University’s Canine Care Standards. We keep our kennel climate-controlled and provide indoor and outdoor areas for puppy play and socialization. Each puppy is given five minutes of (ENS) Early Neurological Stimulation on a daily basis from 3 to 16 days old. Puppies that receive this nervous system stimulation gain a marked advantage over those that don’t.
When they’re older, our puppies socialize by playing in outdoor spaces, with family, and alongside other dogs. This develops strong muscles and improves their social skills with people and other dogs. We welcome all of our potential puppy owners to visit our home and kennel to see firsthand how well we take care of our dogs and puppies. Our veterinarian gives every Miniature Dachshund puppy a full checkup, first vaccines, and a microchip. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your puppy is healthy and happy. For any questions about buying a puppy, give us a call at 330-790-5007.
