Miniature Dachshund Puppies for Sale in Indiana
Families looking at Miniature Dachshund puppies for sale in Indiana are closer to our kennel than most people expect. The Puppy Lodge sits on a five acre farm in Fresno, Ohio, and the drive from there to most of Indiana runs about three to seven hours depending on whether you are near Fort Wayne or down by the Ohio River. That short distance means a puppy can be in your living room the same week you reserve it.
Our mini doxies are bold, curious little dogs that mature around eight to eleven pounds. They come in smooth and longhaired coats, and every puppy leaves with a vet exam, microchip, current vaccinations, and a written three year health guarantee. Terms and exclusions are on the health guarantee page. You can browse our available Miniature Dachshund puppies here.

There is no waitlist. What is on this page is everything available today, and nothing is set aside for anyone. Upcoming litters are posted ahead of time if you want to hold a pick before the puppies are born. Once a puppy is reserved, we call to sort out how it gets to Indiana.

Miniature Dachshund Delivery to Indiana
Indiana sits in our regional delivery tier, so home delivery by van is a flat $350 anywhere in the state. Ground runs leave the farm on Tuesday mornings, and with Indiana this close most families have their puppy in hand within a day of the van rolling out. There are two drivers in every van, so a puppy is never unattended at a fuel stop or overnight. It travels in its own carrier in a climate controlled van with a vet check before departure and updates along the way.
Farm pickup is the option we point Indiana families toward first. Three to four hours each way is an easy day trip from Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, or Muncie, and you get to walk the kennel, meet the puppy's mother, and go through the vaccination records and health guarantee in person before you head home. It costs nothing beyond your gas, and the puppy rides home with someone it is about to bond with instead of a stranger. Visits are by appointment, Monday through Saturday.
Flight nanny service is available if you want the fastest possible handoff, though it is the priciest of the three and rarely worth it at this distance. This is not shipping. A person flies in the cabin with your puppy and hands it over at baggage claim, usually the same day. No leg of the trip happens in cargo. Indianapolis International, Fort Wayne International, South Bend International, and Evansville Regional all work for a handoff. Mini dachshunds clear the airline weight limit without any trouble at eight to eleven pounds, so cabin travel is never a problem for this breed. Flight nanny is quoted per flight, and we arrange the health certificate beforehand.
If you are in the southwest corner of the state around Evansville, ground delivery usually makes more sense than a seven hour drive each direction. Anywhere along the I-70 or US-30 corridors, pickup is the simpler choice.
Why Indiana Families Choose Our Miniature Dachshund Puppy Breeder
The Puppy Lodge has been run by the Nisley family in Coshocton County for more than thirteen years. We own the dogs in the program apart from the occasional outside stud, and each one is genetically and health tested before it ever produces a litter. Litters are raised across a closed group of nearby kennels that work only with our dogs and follow the same testing and care standards we use at the original Fresno kennel. Buildings are climate controlled with heated tile floors through the winter and geothermal cooling in the summer, and the vet from Danville Veterinary Clinic comes out weekly to check adults and new litters.
With Miniature Dachshunds we pay close attention to spinal structure when pairing dogs, since the long back that makes this breed what it is also carries a lifelong risk of disc problems. Screening reduces the odds, though no breeder can rule the risk out entirely, and we would rather say that plainly. Not every breeder runs ENS. We do it from day three through day sixteen, and our children handle the litters daily after that, which matters a great deal for a breed that can turn stubborn or standoffish without early socialization. If you want more background on the breed before you decide, our guide to Miniature Dachshunds covers temperament, care, and what daily life with one looks like.
