FAMILY-RAISED IN HOME · DELIVERED TO ARIZONA
A Miniature Dachshund is an indoor dog with an outdoor ego, which is the right combination for a state where July happens in the air conditioning. HonestPet matches Arizona families with vetted breeders who raise Dachshund litters at home, and every puppy arrives vet-checked, microchipped, and delivered free by ground to any Arizona address, from an Arcadia ranch house to a Gilbert two-story to a casita in the Catalina Foothills.
Health-tested parents · 10-year health guarantee · Free ground delivery to Arizona.
THE HONESTPET DIFFERENCE
Buying a puppy online takes trust. Here's what you can count on when you work with us.
A Dachshund works out what deserves a bark in its first eight weeks, so those weeks should happen in a living room. Our breeders raise litters at home, around kids, doorbells, and the dishwasher, so your puppy settles into a Scottsdale condo, a Chandler subdivision, or a retiree's routine in Sun City without treating the pool guy as an intruder.
Our breeders begin Early Neurological Stimulation when puppies are three days old and follow Puppy Culture practices until they’re ready to join their new families. Short, gentle daily handling helps puppies become more comfortable with new experiences as they grow.
Most of our puppies’ parents are DNA tested. Each puppy’s listing identifies the DNA testing status of both mom and dad, so you can review this information before choosing your puppy.
Smooth, longhaired, or wirehaired, we'll tell you which puppy fits your life, not just the one you first picked. A calm pup for a Sun City couple and their golf cart, a bolder one for a Queen Creek family with a yard, a pool, and three kids.
Every puppy comes with a 10-year genetic health guarantee and a digital copy of their vet and vaccine records.
Message our Care360 Team at 10 weeks or 10 years. We stay in touch with our families for the life of the dog.
STATEWIDE DELIVERY
Every HonestPet Dachshund comes from a vetted breeder who raises puppies at home, never a pet store or a broker. Arizona families choose free ground delivery to the door or a flight nanny who carries the puppy in the cabin to Sky Harbor, Tucson, or another nearby airport, and in summer every handoff is scheduled around the heat.

ABOUT THE BREED
A Miniature Dachshund is 11 pounds or less of nerve, nose, and devotion. Bred to go underground after badgers, they're brave, stubborn, and funny, and they're perfectly happy to spend a 110-degree afternoon on the couch and come alive after sunset. Smooth coats are the natural choice for the desert; longhaired and wirehaired pups do fine with a summer clip.
Our Miniature Dachshunds finish between 8 and 11 pounds. That's under the pet cap in any Arizona apartment or HOA, small enough for the golf cart basket, and light enough to carry across a parking lot in July, which you'll do, because a dog this low rides inches above pavement that can hit 160 degrees.
Smooth, longhaired, and wirehaired Dachshunds each have different grooming needs. All shed; choose a coat you can care for rather than expecting a hypoallergenic dog.
Dachshunds can be affectionate family companions. Supervise play with children, teach gentle handling, and support their chest and hindquarters when lifting them to protect their long backs.
Smart and independent, Dachshunds do best with short, consistent training sessions and positive reinforcement. Start early with potty routines and calm responses to hallway noises.
A Mini Dachshund needs two short walks and a good sniff, not a run. From May through September, walk at dawn or after dark and test the pavement with the back of your hand. Three Arizona rules: fence the pool or use a life vest, since Dachshunds are poor swimmers; keep them away from cholla and out of holes, where rattlesnakes rest and a Dachshund's instincts send it; and ask your vet about valley fever.
Dachshunds bond closely with their people and enjoy being part of daily life. Build up time alone gradually, and arrange care and walks when you will be away for long stretches.

Call, text, or email us using the contact details below. We'll set up a video call so you can see your puppy move around and ask anything you want.
A $349 deposit holds your puppy and goes toward the total price.
Choose flight nanny delivery, pickup at the breeder, or ground transport. We'll work out the details with you.
Your puppy arrives as early as 8 weeks old with their digital records, a starter bag of food, and a blanket that smells like their littermates.
GETTING YOUR PUPPY HOME
Most Arizona families take free ground delivery straight to the front door. If you'd rather fly, a flight nanny can bring your Dachshund in the cabin to one of six Arizona airports, carrier under the seat. Either way, our team confirms the date, times summer handoffs for early morning or evening, and sends updates until the puppy is home.
Ground delivery suits Dachshunds, and in summer it's planned around the heat: a snug crate in an air-conditioned vehicle, water at every stop, and no outdoor waits in the middle of the day. Den dogs sleep through most of it and arrive at your door rather than an airport curb.
Prefer to meet first? When the breeder's location and schedule line up, HonestPet can set up an in-person visit before your Dachshund heads to Arizona.
A flat $799 to any Arizona airport we serve. Your puppy rides in the cabin in a soft carrier at the nanny's feet, never in cargo, so the summer heat embargoes that ground pets in Phoenix don't apply. The nanny meets you at arrivals and hands your puppy over.

HEALTH FIRST
Dachshunds have their own health considerations, especially their long backs. We’re working toward having all of our breeders complete screening relevant to their breed. Testing varies by parent; ask to review available results for the parents of any puppy you’re considering, and talk with your vet about ongoing care.
Ask about the parents’ back-health history and discuss Dachshund spine care with your vet. Keeping your dog lean, using ramps, and limiting jumping can help protect their back; a screening result is not a guarantee against future back problems.
Ask which eye examinations or genetic testing results are available for the parents of your puppy. Results and screening coverage vary by parent, so review the individual records rather than assuming every dog has had the same tests.
Ask about any available veterinary findings for the parents’ knees and movement. Your own vet can check your puppy’s gait and joints and help you choose exercise that suits their short legs and long back.
Review any available heart-screening records with our team and your vet. Parent results vary; ask what was checked, when it was checked, and what the findings mean for the puppy you are considering.
Small dogs need regular dental care. Ask your vet about your puppy’s teeth and bite, and introduce gentle tooth brushing early. Ongoing dental care remains important after the puppy’s first exam.
Each puppy’s listing identifies the DNA testing status of both mom and dad. Ask to review the available parent health and genetic records before reserving a puppy; testing is not identical across every breeder or parent.
Every puppy headed to Arizona gets a full exam from a licensed vet before departure: heart and lungs, eyes, ears, teeth, and skin, plus a careful look at the spine, hips, and gait in a breed with a back this long. The vet issues a health certificate for interstate travel, and the exam goes into the puppy's digital records for your Arizona vet.
Each puppy is current on core vaccines for their age and dewormed on a regular schedule since their first weeks. Your vet will finish the series, including the rabies shot Arizona requires by 3 months for your county license, talk through rattlesnake vaccine and avoidance training if you hike, and cover Dachshund back care: keep them lean, add a ramp to the couch, and no jumping off patio furniture. Every puppy is microchipped, and we'll help you register the chip in your name.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Prices vary by puppy. See each available puppy’s listing for the current price, and ask our team to explain the total before reserving. Every puppy comes with a vet exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, a microchip, digital records, lifetime training and support, and free ground delivery to your home.
Yes. Most families choose free ground delivery to their door. Flight nanny delivery is also available into Phoenix Sky Harbor, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway, Tucson, Flagstaff, Prescott, and Yuma, depending on route and availability, and a Miniature Dachshund puppy fits easily in an in-cabin carrier.
Yes. Smooth, longhaired, and wirehaired Dachshunds all shed, and their grooming needs differ. No dog is fully hypoallergenic. If allergies are a concern, talk with our team about the individual puppy and coat type before deciding.
Miniature Dachshunds weigh 11 pounds or less fully grown. Our Miniature Dachshunds typically finish between 8 and 11 pounds; review the individual puppy’s estimated adult size with our team.
Your puppy comes home with a starter bag of food, a blanket that smells like their littermates, a toy, microchip details, and a digital copy of their vet and vaccine records.
Pick an available puppy then send us an inquiry. After we talk, a $349 deposit holds your puppy. The balance is due before go-home day.
Parent testing varies by breeder and by dog. Review the available DNA testing status and health records for the puppy’s mom and dad with our team. Every puppy receives a veterinary exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and a microchip before going home; your vet can help you plan ongoing Dachshund back and joint care.
Each breeder may have a different preferred puppy food, so we provide the specific brand and formula your puppy is currently eating to help make the transition to your home as smooth as possible. If you decide to switch foods, we recommend transitioning gradually to help avoid digestive upset.
Our puppies go home at 8 weeks old.

ARIZONA QUESTIONS
The questions Arizona Dachshund families ask most, from heat and pools to county licensing and airport pickups.
Legally, yes. A 2016 Arizona law allows pet stores to sell puppies from federally licensed breeders and overrode the local bans Phoenix and Tempe had passed, so you'll still see Dachshund puppies in some store windows. What a store can't show you is the mother, the home, or the breeder's health testing. HonestPet is not a pet store. We connect Arizona families directly with vetted breeders who raise Dachshunds at home and share all of that up front.
Yes, with a routine. Minis are indoor dogs who are perfectly happy in the air conditioning through the hottest hours, and a smooth coat needs nothing extra. The rules are about the ground, not the air: a Dachshund's belly rides inches above pavement that burns, so walk at dawn or after dark from May through September, test the pavement with your hand, carry water, and never leave them in a parked car. Most Arizona families tell us their Dachshund adjusted to the schedule faster than they did.
Yes. Arizona requires dogs 3 months and older to be vaccinated against rabies and licensed through the county: Maricopa County Animal Care and Control for the Phoenix area, Pima Animal Care Center for Tucson, and county animal control elsewhere. You'll need the rabies certificate to apply, and fees are lower for spayed and neutered dogs.
Once your Dachshund is reserved, HonestPet coordinates the trip from the breeder's home to yours. The puppy gets a final vet check and a travel health certificate, then rides to Arizona in a climate-controlled delivery vehicle or in the cabin with a flight nanny to Sky Harbor or the airport nearest you. We confirm the schedule with you, time summer arrivals for the cooler hours, and send updates along the way.
Flights to Arizona typically run 3 to 4 hours, depending on the breeder's location and which airport you choose. Your Dachshund stays in a carrier at the nanny's feet the entire time and never flies as cargo, which also means summer cargo embargoes at Sky Harbor don't affect the trip.
Sometimes, yes. When the breeder's location and schedule allow, HonestPet can arrange a visit so you can meet your puppy, and often the parents, before delivery. Because our breeders are in different areas and we protect their privacy, visits are arranged one family at a time rather than offered as drop-in appointments.
Call us with questions about any puppy, delivery to Arizona, or which Miniature Dachshund would suit your home. We'll set up a video call so you can meet your puppy before you decide.
