Miniature Dachshund Puppies for Sale in Maryland

Families searching for Miniature Dachshund puppies for sale in Maryland are looking at a dog raised about four to eight hours west, on a five acre farm in Fresno, Ohio. Western Maryland sits at the shorter end of that range and Ocean City at the longer end, which is close enough that a transport van can reach almost any address in the state quickly, and near enough that some families in western Maryland make the drive out to us themselves.

Our mini doxies mature around eight to eleven pounds in smooth and longhaired coats, with colors that include red, black and tan, chocolate and tan, blue, sable, and dapple. Every puppy goes home at eight weeks or older, vet checked, microchipped, current on shots, and covered by a written three year health guarantee. Terms and exclusions are on the health guarantee page.

Available Mini Dachshund Puppies for Maryland Homes

The puppies below are the ones ready to reserve right now. The list changes as litters are born and go home, so what you see is current. Prices start around $1,495 and move with color, coat type, and sex, and you can reserve online with a $200 deposit that holds your puppy. That deposit is not refundable, though it does transfer to another available puppy if something changes for you. Financing runs through Credova and applications are done online.

We do not keep a waitlist, so a puppy stays available until someone reserves it, and that can happen the same day it is posted. If nothing here fits, upcoming litters are posted for reservation too, and picks from those get claimed before the puppies are born. Once yours is reserved, we set up a call to arrange delivery to Maryland or a pickup date at the farm.

Delivery to Maryland and Pickup Options

There are three ways to get a puppy from Fresno to Maryland, and we settle on one during a phone call after the reservation rather than at checkout.

Home delivery is what most Maryland families choose. The van is climate controlled and every puppy rides in its own carrier. A professional service handles the drive, with a veterinary checkup before the trip and updates along the way. Maryland falls in our regional tier at a flat $350 to any address in the state. Ground runs leave on Tuesday mornings and East Coast stops are usually next day, so most families have their puppy within a few days of scheduling. This is the option we point Maryland buyers to first, since the drive is short enough that a flight is rarely worth the extra cost.

Farm pickup makes sense if you live out toward Hagerstown, Frederick, or Cumberland. The run is straight west on I-70 through Pennsylvania and takes around four to five hours from that side of the state, closer to six from Baltimore. Coming out lets you tour the kennel, meet the puppy's mother, and go through the microchip registration, vaccination records, and health guarantee in person. You leave with a bag of the food the puppy has been eating and a blanket from its mother's room.

Flight nanny is the fastest option and is quoted per flight rather than at a flat rate. You do not need a ticket or a gate pass. The nanny brings the puppy out to baggage claim and hands it over, usually the same day. The cargo hold is never part of the trip. BWI Marshall near Baltimore is the common arrival airport for Maryland families, and Salisbury Regional works for the Eastern Shore. Families in Montgomery and Prince George's County sometimes pick Reagan National across the river in Virginia instead. A health certificate is arranged ahead of travel, and weather delays are the one thing to stay flexible about.

Size is rarely an issue for this breed on a flight. The in cabin limit is twenty pounds including the carrier, and an eight week old mini dachshund is nowhere near that. For the ride home from the van or the airport, clip the leash to a harness rather than a collar, and lift the puppy in and out of the car instead of letting it jump down. A long backed dog should not be landing on pavement from seat height.

Miniature Dachshund Puppy Breeder Serving Maryland

The Puppy Lodge is run by the Nisley family on five acres in the hills of Coshocton County, Ohio, and we have been raising dogs for more than thirteen years. Litters come from a closed network of nearby kennels that work only with our dogs and follow our health testing and breeding standards, and the parent dogs, the occasional outside stud aside, are owned by us and individually tested for health, temperament, pedigree, and color genetics. A veterinarian from Danville Veterinary Clinic comes through on a weekly schedule to check the adult dogs and the newborn litters.

With this breed, the pairing decisions matter as much as anything else. We look closely at spinal structure when choosing which dogs to breed, because the long back that makes a doxie a doxie is also the part that needs the most care over a lifetime. Screening lowers the odds of disc trouble, though no breeder can rule the risk out entirely, and we would rather say that plainly than promise otherwise. Early Neurological Stimulation runs from the third day through the sixteenth. From there our children handle the litter every day, and crate and potty training start before the puppies leave. If you want more background on the breed before you decide, our Miniature Dachshund temperament and care guide gets into temperament, exercise, and the quirks nobody warns you about.

We are a day trip away rather than a kennel across town, and the tradeoff is worth understanding. Coming to us means you can see where the puppies are raised, in climate controlled buildings with heated tile floors in winter and geothermal cooling in summer, and every puppy comes with tested parents behind it and three years of written coverage either way. If the drive does not work, the van brings the puppy to your door for $350.

Miniature Dachshund FAQs Of Maryland Families

Q: Can we come out to Ohio and meet the puppy first?

A: Yes, visits are welcome by appointment Monday through Saturday. You can meet the puppy and its mother, though the father is sometimes not on site, since we use an outside stud service occasionally to improve the program. From most of Maryland it is a four to eight hour drive each way, so if that is more than you want to take on, we can set up a FaceTime call and show you the puppy on video before you commit.

Q: Our Baltimore row house has steep stairs. Is that a problem?

A: It is manageable, but it takes a few habits. Carry the puppy up and down the stairs while it is small, and keep stair trips limited as it grows rather than letting it run the flight a dozen times a day. Put a ramp at the couch and the bed, since jumping down from furniture causes more disc injuries in this breed than almost anything else. For the first year, steady walks beat long runs, and repeated jumping is worth avoiding. In older row homes with narrow winding steps, carrying the dog up and down is worth making permanent, and plenty of Maryland dachshund owners do exactly that.

Q: Will a mini doxie be okay in an apartment near DC?

A: They adapt well to apartments and condos and do not need a yard, only two decent walks a day. The thing to plan for is the barking, because this breed was bred to be loud underground and will announce anything in the hallway. Steady exercise, a chew, a predictable routine, and never rewarding the barking with attention will keep it to a normal level. They also bond hard and do poorly left alone for long stretches, so a long commute into the District is worth thinking through before you bring one home.

Q: Are they good with kids and other pets?

A: Yes, with supervision for younger children. The main rule is teaching kids to pick the dog up by supporting the chest and back end, never by grabbing around the middle. Our puppies grow up around our own children and are handled every day before they leave, which gives them a head start on being comfortable with noise and activity. They get along with other dogs and cats when socializing starts early and stays consistent.

Q: Which coats do you raise, and how do they handle Maryland weather?

A: We raise smooth and longhaired only, not wirehaired. Smooth coats need a brush once a week, and longhaired coats need one a few times a week to keep mats from forming behind the ears and along the chest. Both shed a moderate amount year round, so this is not a low shedding dog. A smooth coated doxie will want a sweater on cold January mornings in Frederick or Baltimore, and in July, when the humidity comes off the bay, walks work better early or after sunset.

Q: What comes with the puppy?

A: Registration paperwork, a vaccine and deworming record, microchip registration, the veterinary exam from our vet, a bag of the food the puppy has been eating, and a blanket the litter has been sleeping on. The written three year health guarantee travels home with the puppy. If you have questions about coat pattern genetics or anything on the health side, call or text us at 330-790-5007 and we will walk you through it.
