Mini Doxiedoodle Puppies for Sale in Minnesota

Families looking at Mini Doxiedoodle puppies for sale in Minnesota are usually shopping outside their own state, and that is fine, because every one of our puppies leaves from the same place. The Puppy Lodge is a family run program based in Fresno, Ohio, on five acres in the eastern part of the state. We have been raising dogs for more than thirteen years, and the Nisley family still handles the calls, the paperwork, and the socializing.

A Mini Doxiedoodle is a Miniature Dachshund crossed with a Miniature Poodle. They land somewhere around ten to twenty pounds, carry a wavy to curly coat that sheds very little, and tend to be smart, chatty, and glued to whoever they decide is theirs. They fit a downtown Minneapolis apartment about as well as they fit an acreage outside Alexandria, since a half hour of walking plus something to think about covers most of what they need in a day.

Minnesota sits roughly twelve to eighteen hours west and north of us by road, depending on whether you are near the Iowa border or up past Bemidji. That distance is normal for us. Puppies go to Minnesota families by climate controlled van or by flight nanny into the Twin Cities, and the details are below.

Everything listed below is a puppy we currently have, with its price and a reserve button. Prices in this program run from $1,495 to $2,995, moved mostly by coat type, color, and gender. Reserving takes a $200 deposit, which is non-refundable but can move to another available puppy if something changes. Financing runs through Credova and is applied for online.

Every puppy here goes home at eight weeks or later, vet checked by Danville Veterinary Clinic, microchipped, current on shots and dewormings, with a written three year health guarantee and a blanket that smells like its mother. We do not keep a waitlist, so a puppy on this page can be claimed by another family the same day you are looking at it. If you would rather see one over video before deciding, we set up FaceTime calls. Once a puppy is yours, we get it to Minnesota.

Getting Your Puppy Home to Minnesota

We sort out travel on a phone call after a puppy is reserved, not during checkout. There are three ways to do it.

Home delivery by van. A professional pet transport service drives the puppy to your door in a custom climate controlled vehicle, and this is what most of our long distance families pick. The puppy travels in its own carrier, gets a vet checkup before leaving, and you get updates along the way. Minnesota falls in our national pricing tier at around $450. Because of the drive, plan on the trip taking a day or two rather than a single overnight run, and expect the driver to give you a delivery window as the route firms up. Winter can shift that window, since the same storms that close I-94 for a stretch will slow a transport van.

Flight nanny. A trained handler carries the puppy in the airplane cabin, in a soft carrier under the seat, and hands it to you at baggage claim. Most of these are done the same day. Minneapolis-Saint Paul International is the usual arrival point for Minnesota families and has plenty of service out of Ohio, and we have also worked with Duluth International and Rochester International when those are closer to home. Flight nanny costs more than the van and gets quoted per flight, since it depends on airfare that week. The puppy needs to be at least eight weeks, under twenty pounds with the carrier, and traveling with a health certificate we arrange beforehand. Mini Doxiedoodles clear the weight limit easily and are not a flat faced breed, so airline restrictions are not an issue for this cross.

Pickup at the farm. You are welcome to come to Fresno by appointment, meet the puppy's mother, walk through the kennel, and go over the health records with us in person. From the Twin Cities that is a long day of driving each way, so it makes more sense as part of a trip through Ohio than as a weekend errand.

For most Minnesota families, we suggest the flight nanny if you want the puppy home fast and are near MSP, and the van if you would rather skip the airport and have the puppy brought to the house. One breed specific note on either option. A Mini Doxiedoodle often inherits some of the Dachshund's long back, so we recommend having a crate and a harness ready before travel day instead of a collar and leash, and going easy on stairs and jumping for the first stretch at home.

Mini Doxiedoodle Puppy Breeder Serving Minnesota Families

The Puppy Lodge holds a USDA broker license, and we own the parent dogs. Litters are raised across a closed group of local kennels near our farm, run by breeders who work only with Puppy Lodge dogs and follow our health testing, genetic testing, and breeding standards. Some litters are raised at the original Fresno kennel under a different name for licensing reasons. Nothing comes in from outside that network. Danville Veterinary Clinic visits on a weekly schedule to check the adult dogs and the new litters, and the buildings have heated tile floors for winter and geothermal cooling for summer, with indoor and outdoor space to run.

We raise both Miniature Dachshunds and Miniature Poodles as separate health tested programs, so a Mini Doxiedoodle pairing has a known history behind it on both sides. That matters most for the spine. Dachshunds carry a high lifetime rate of disc disease, and the same genetics that give them short legs also give them earlier disc wear, so we look at structure when we decide which dogs to pair. Every puppy also goes through Early Neurological Stimulation from day three to day sixteen, starts potty and crate work before go-home, and gets handled daily by our kids.

A drive from Minnesota to Ohio is not short, and there are breeders closer to you. What you get by coming to us is a program where the parents on both sides of the cross are ours and tested, where a vet is in the building every week, and where the guarantee is three years in writing on genetic and congenital conditions including hip, elbow, and spinal issues. If you want to read more about the cross before you commit, our complete Mini Doxiedoodle guide covers the breed in depth.

Mini Doxiedoodle FAQs Of Minnesota Families

Q: Can a Mini Doxiedoodle handle Minnesota winters?

A: They can, with some help. The coat is low shedding rather than thick and double layered, and these are small dogs sitting low to the ground, so a January morning in Duluth calls for a sweater or coat and short trips outside instead of long ones. Deep snow is hard on a dog with that much body and that little leg, so most Minnesota owners shovel a small potty area and keep it clear. Wipe the paws after walks, since road salt stings and gets licked off.

Q: How do you keep a puppy exercised through a long winter?

A: Mental work counts as much as walking for this cross, which helps a lot from December through March. Puzzle toys, short training sessions, and hide-and-seek with treats around the house will tire out a Mini Doxiedoodle without anyone standing outside. They came from a scent hound, so treat trails and nose games hold their attention better than most toys do.

Q: Is the van or the flight nanny better for a family in Minnesota?

A: If you live near the Twin Cities and want the puppy in your arms quickly, the flight nanny into MSP is usually the better call, since most of those trips finish the same day. If you are further out, near Moorhead or up on the Iron Range, or you would rather not drive to an airport with a new puppy, the van delivery at around $450 brings the puppy to your door. We talk it through on the phone once the puppy is reserved.

Q: Will a Mini Doxiedoodle work in a Minneapolis or St. Paul apartment?

A: Usually yes on size and energy. The one thing to plan for is noise, because these dogs are vocal for their size and will announce the hallway, the elevator, and anything that moves outside the window. Working on that from the first week saves you trouble with neighbors later. Stairs are worth thinking about too, since a long backed dog going up and down three flights several times a day adds wear over the years.

Q: What do the stairs and split level homes mean for the spine?

A: Plenty of Minnesota homes have a split entry or a walkout basement, which means stairs in the daily routine. Keep the dog lean, use a ramp for the couch and bed, and carry it up and down when it is a puppy and its joints are still forming. Watch for reluctance to jump, stiffness after a nap, or a yelp when you pick it up, and call your vet if you see those. Our three year guarantee covers genetic and congenital conditions, spinal ones included.

Q: Are these puppies good for someone with mild allergies?

A: The low shedding coat traps loose hair instead of dropping it around the house, which means less dander in the air. That is often enough for mild to moderate allergies and often not enough for severe ones, and no dog is fully hypoallergenic. F1b puppies carry more Poodle and usually the tightest curl, so they tend to shed the least. Spending time around one is the only way to know for sure.
