Miniature Dachshund Puppies for Sale in Minnesota

Families looking at Miniature Dachshund puppies for sale in Minnesota are working with a breeder based on a five acre farm in Fresno, in east central Ohio. Our puppies come from parent dogs we own and test ourselves, and they leave here vet checked, microchipped, and already started on potty and crate training.

Minnesota sits roughly 12 to 18 hours away by road, depending on whether you are near the Twin Cities or up toward the Iron Range. That distance is normal for us. Most families here have their puppy brought to the door by climate controlled van, or flown in by a nanny who meets you at the airport, and both options are explained further down the page.

Available Mini Dachshund Puppies

Every puppy listed below is one of ours, raised in our closed network of Ohio kennels under a single set of health testing and breeding standards. Prices start at $1,495 and shift with color, coat type, and sex. You can reserve online with a $200 deposit, and financing runs through Credova if you would rather spread the cost out.

There is no waitlist, so a puppy stays available until someone reserves it. If nothing on the list is the right fit today, upcoming litters are posted for reservation before they are born. We deliver to Minnesota, and we sort out the details on a call once your puppy is reserved.

Puppy Delivery to Minnesota

We handle three ways of getting a puppy from Ohio to Minnesota, and we settle on one together after the reservation goes through rather than at checkout.

Home delivery puts your puppy in a professional transport van with individual carriers, climate control, and a vet checkup before the drive. Ground runs leave on Tuesday mornings and most Minnesota families have their puppy within a couple of days of scheduling. The flat fee to Minnesota is $450, and the drivers come to your address, so there is no airport trip on your end. This is the option most families here choose.

Flight nanny is the faster route and usually finishes the same day. A flight nanny is a person, not a service. She flies on her own ticket, keeps the carrier underneath the seat, and hands the puppy to you at baggage claim. No leg of the trip happens in cargo. Minneapolis St. Paul International is the common landing point, though Rochester International and Duluth International work as well if either is closer to home. Flight nanny is quoted per flight and costs more than ground. Your puppy needs to be at least 8 weeks, under 20 pounds with the carrier, and traveling with a health certificate we arrange beforehand. Winter weather in Minnesota does cause occasional delays, so a little schedule flexibility helps in January and February.

Farm pickup at our Ohio kennel is available by appointment. It is a long haul from Minnesota, closer to two days of driving round trip, so we do not usually recommend it unless you were already planning a trip east. Families who do come out get to meet the puppy's mother, walk the kennel, and go through vaccination records and the health guarantee in person.

For most of Minnesota, ground delivery is the sensible pick. It costs less than flying a nanny out, the puppy rides in one carrier the whole way with no terminal noise or handoffs, and a Dachshund puppy settles better on a steady drive than in an airport. If you are on a tight timeline or live close to MSP, the flight nanny is worth the extra cost.

Miniature Dachshund Breeder Serving Minnesota Families

We have been raising dogs for 13 years on our farm in Coshocton County, and the Nisley family owns the dogs behind our litters, apart from the occasional outside stud. Those dogs are health and genetically tested before they are bred, and with Dachshunds we pay close attention to spinal structure when we decide on pairings. That lowers the odds of disc trouble, though no breeder can rule the risk out entirely, and the written three year health guarantee runs from the date of sale. What it covers and what it does not are set out in the guarantee terms.

Between day three and day sixteen puppies here run the ENS protocol, then get handled daily by our kids and stay until at least 8 weeks. Our vet from Danville Veterinary Clinic comes to the kennel weekly to look over the adults and every new litter. Minnesota does not have many purebred Miniature Dachshund programs running this kind of testing across a whole network of kennels, and the distance mostly shows up as a delivery fee rather than anything you have to manage. If you want to know more about the breed before you commit, our Miniature Dachshund breed guide covers the personality and care side in detail.

Miniature Dachshund FAQs Of Minnesota Families

Q: How do Miniature Dachshunds handle Minnesota winters?

A: They do fine with a coat and some preparation, and the smooth coated ones need it most. A short coat and a body that sits low to the ground mean cold and snow reach them fast, so short potty trips are standard here from November through March. Longhaired dachshunds have a bit more insulation but still need protection in deep cold. Wipe their paws after walks, since road salt irritates the pads and they will lick at it.

Q: Can we visit the kennel in Ohio before reserving a puppy?

A: You are welcome to, by appointment, Monday through Saturday. Most Minnesota families skip the drive, though, and do a FaceTime call instead, which lets you see the puppy live and ask questions before putting down a deposit. The father is occasionally not on site, since we use an outside stud service at times to strengthen the program, but you will always get to see the mother.

Q: What is the total cost to get a puppy to Minnesota?

A: The puppy itself starts at $1,495 and goes up based on coat, color, and sex. Ground delivery is a flat $450 anywhere in Minnesota. Flight nanny is priced per flight and depends on the route and the day, so we quote that once we know where you are and when you want the puppy home. The $200 deposit that reserves the puppy comes off the total.

Q: Will a mini dachshund be alright in a Minneapolis or St. Paul apartment?

A: They fit apartments well, since 30 to 60 minutes of daily walking covers their exercise and they do not need a yard. The thing to plan for is the barking. These dogs were bred to sound off underground so hunters could find them, and they will announce anyone who walks past your door. It is far easier to prevent the habit than to undo it, so reward quiet, keep them on a routine, and give them something to chew instead of reacting to every bark.

Q: What should we know about stairs and back health?

A: Dachshunds are built long and low, and that shape puts real pressure on the spine over a lifetime. Skip the stairs where you can, or carry the dog, which is worth doing in a lot of older Minnesota homes with basements and steep steps. Put a ramp at the couch and the bed, because jumping down from furniture is one of the most common causes of a disc episode. Walk them on a harness rather than a collar, and keep them lean, since weight is the single biggest thing you control. The frame is still growing through the first year, so hold off on strenuous work until after that.

Q: Do you have Miniature Dachshunds available right now?

A: Availability changes week to week and there is no waitlist, so whatever is listed on this page is what we have today. This list turns over quickly, and a puppy stays available only until someone reserves it. If nothing fits, join the newsletter and you will hear about the next litter before it goes public, or call or text us at 330-790-5007 and we can tell you what is coming.
