Miniature Dachshund Puppies for Sale in Washington
Miniature Dachshund puppies for sale in Washington come from The Puppy Lodge, a family program run by the Nisley family on a five-acre farm in Fresno, Ohio. We have been raising dogs for more than 13 years. The parent dogs behind our litters are ours apart from the occasional outside stud, and every one is health and genetically tested before it is ever bred. Our mini doxies are smooth and longhaired, usually maturing between 8 and 11 pounds, bold and busy and loyal in a way that surprises people who expect a small dog to act small.
Washington sits at the far end of the map from our Ohio kennel, about 33 to 38 hours of driving. Most families out there have their puppy flown in by a nanny and meet it at the airport the same day.
Reserve One of Our Available Mini Dachshund Puppies
The puppies below are the ones we have ready to reserve right now, each with photos, price, and a reserve button. There is no waitlist here. This list turns over quickly, and a puppy stays available only until someone reserves it. A $200 deposit holds one, financing is available through Credova, and we are happy to set up a FaceTime call if you want to see a puppy move around before you decide.
Every puppy goes home vet checked by Danville Veterinary Clinic, microchipped, current on vaccinations and dewormings, and covered by a written three year health guarantee. What it covers and what it does not are set out in the guarantee terms. We deliver to Washington, and we work out which method fits you on a call after your puppy is reserved.

Puppy Delivery to Washington
Flight nanny, the option we suggest for Washington
Given the distance, this is what most Washington families choose. The puppy rides in a soft carrier under the seat for the whole flight, then changes hands at baggage claim. Cargo never enters into it. Most of these deliveries finish the same day. We fly into the airports Washington families actually use, including Seattle-Tacoma International, Spokane International, Bellingham International, and Tri-Cities Airport in Pasco. Families in Vancouver and the southwest corner often find Portland International easier to reach than anything on their own side of the river. The puppy needs to be at least 8 weeks old, under 20 pounds including the carrier, and cleared by a licensed vet with a health certificate before the flight. A mini dachshund is well inside that weight limit, which is part of why this breed travels so well under an airline seat. Flight nanny costs more than ground and is quoted per flight, since it depends on the route and the day.
Home delivery by ground
Our vans run door to door anywhere in the continental United States, and the fee for Washington is around $450. The van carries two drivers as well as the puppies, so someone is with them the whole way. Your puppy rides in its own carrier in a climate-controlled van, gets a vet checkup before leaving, and you get updates along the way. Ground runs leave Ohio on Tuesday mornings, and a West Coast route takes two to three days on the road depending on the stops ahead of you. It is the least expensive way to get a puppy to Washington and it means no airport trip, though it is a longer stretch of travel for a young dog than a flight.
Pickup at the farm
You are always welcome to come get your puppy yourself. Visits are by appointment, Monday through Saturday, and you can meet the mother, walk through the kennel, and go over the vaccination records, microchip registration, and health guarantee with us in person. Your puppy leaves with a bag of the food it has been eating and a blanket it has been sleeping on. For a Washington family this usually means flying into Columbus and driving about 80 miles east, so it makes the most sense if you were already planning a trip through the Midwest.
Miniature Dachshund Puppy Breeder Serving Washington Families
We are a long way from Washington, and we know that means choosing us over something closer to home. What you get for that distance is a program where the genetics behind your puppy are known and documented. Every adult dog is owned by The Puppy Lodge and has been genetically and health tested, and litters are raised across a small closed network of kennels near our farm by breeders who work only with our dogs and follow the same standards we do. Nothing comes in from outside that network.
With this breed, the pairing decisions matter more than most people realize. We look at spinal structure when we match dogs, because the long back that makes a dachshund a dachshund is also the part that needs the most care over a lifetime. Screening parents reduces the likelihood of disc problems in their puppies, though no breeder can rule the risk out entirely, and we would rather say that plainly. A doxie that misses early handling grows up wary. Our puppies run ENS across days 3 to 16, and our children handle and play with the litters daily, which is what turns a naturally stubborn, alert breed into a puppy that settles well in a new house. Our vet from Danville Veterinary Clinic comes out weekly to check the adults and the newborns. If you want more background on how these dogs think and what living with one is like, we put together a breed guide for Miniature Dachshunds that covers it.
You can see everything from Washington without getting on a plane: photos, video, a FaceTime call with the puppy you are considering, health records, and a three year guarantee in writing.
