Miniature Dachshund Traits and Temperament
Known affectionately as the "Mini Doxie," the Miniature Dachshund wins hearts everywhere with its playful spirit and loyal personality. These little dogs usually weigh around 8 to 11 pounds, with a sturdy yet compact frame and bright, intelligent eyes that seem to follow every move. Their average lifespan ranges from 12 to 15 years, giving families years of joyful companionship. Some have long, flowing coats while others have the short, sleek coat that many families love for easy care. The Puppy Lodge raises both varieties, helping each family choose the look that best fits their lifestyle. Their mix of boldness and affection makes them as much fun outdoors as they are snuggled up on the couch.

Our Commitment to Quality and Care
Our approach to breeding starts and ends with health, temperament, and quality. We put immense effort into every pairing to ensure that our Miniature Dachshunds grow into strong, well-rounded companions. Families appreciate that our communication is consistent and genuine, making the process clear and enjoyable from start to finish. Many of our buyers in Iowa have come to us through word-of-mouth or because a friend recommended our program. That trust means everything to us, and it's what drives us to maintain the highest standards of breeding and care.
Selective Breeding and Daily Puppy Care
Our parents are health and genetic tested before being part of our program, ensuring each litter begins with a foundation of sound health and good temperament. We also use Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) with every puppy during the first weeks of life. These gentle exercises help boost confidence, improve resilience under stress, and strengthen immune response. Inside our climate-controlled facility, puppies enjoy warm indoor spaces and supervised outdoor playtime. Each one is examined by our veterinarian and is current on vaccinations before joining their forever family.
Travel and Pickup Options for Iowa Buyers
To make things simple for Iowa families, we offer several ways to bring your new Miniature Dachshund home. We can hand deliver your puppy right to your door, or one of our professional flight nannies can meet you at Des Moines International Airport (DSM), The Eastern Iowa Airport (CID), Sioux Gateway Airport (SUX), or Dubuque Regional Airport (DBQ). During travel, puppies ride in-cabin with their handler, receiving personal care throughout the journey. For those who enjoy the experience of visiting in person, our Ohio location welcomes families by appointment. Meeting your puppy where it was raised is always a special moment.
Reserving a Puppy from The Puppy Lodge
Available Miniature Dachshund puppies are listed on our website and may be reserved instantly. Families who prefer to plan ahead can secure a puppy from future litters by placing a deposit. Because many Iowan families live outside Ohio, most complete the reservation process first and arrange pickup or delivery afterward. We reach out promptly once a reservation is placed, providing photos, updates, and next steps so the entire experience feels smooth and personal.
