FAMILY-RAISED IN HOME · DELIVERED TO KANSAS
Kansas has plenty of commercial kennels and plenty of wind, and a Miniature Dachshund deserves better than the first and doesn't mind the second from the couch. HonestPet matches Kansas families with vetted breeders who raise Dachshund litters at home, and every puppy arrives vet-checked, microchipped, and delivered free by ground to any Kansas address, from a Prairie Village ranch house to a College Hill bungalow in Wichita to a farmhouse in the Flint Hills.
Health-tested parents · 10-year health guarantee · Free ground delivery to Kansas.
THE HONESTPET DIFFERENCE
Buying a puppy online takes trust. Here's what you can count on when you work with us.
The difference between a Dachshund raised in a kennel barn and one raised in a kitchen shows up the first time the doorbell rings. Our breeders raise litters at home, around kids, the vacuum, and the garage door, so your puppy arrives ready for a Leawood colonial, a Lawrence rental near campus, or a cul-de-sac in Andover instead of treating every sound as an invasion.
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 downtown Overland Park apartment, a bolder one for an Olathe family with a fenced yard and a mole problem it would like solved.
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. Kansas families choose free ground delivery to the door or a flight nanny who carries the puppy in the cabin to Kansas City, Wichita, or Manhattan, and the drive is a reasonable one from most of our breeders.

ABOUT THE BREED
A Miniature Dachshund is 11 pounds or less of loyalty, nerve, and nose. Bred to follow badgers underground, they're brave, stubborn, and funny, and they take a Kansas summer, a Kansas winter, and the wind in between in stride as long as there's a couch at the end of the day. Smooth coats want a sweater by November; longhaired and wirehaired pups are a bit hardier, and all three will dig if you let them.
Our Miniature Dachshunds finish between 8 and 11 pounds. That's under the pet limit in any Kansas apartment or HOA, small enough for an airline carrier, and light enough to scoop up and carry to the basement when the sirens go off, which is the right way to move a Dachshund anyway.
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 something to sniff, not a jog. On nice days they'll happily nose around the Shawnee Mission Park off-leash area at their own pace or do a slow stretch of the Lawrence Levee Trail; in July, go early and late, and in January a sweater and a quick loop are plenty. Fence the yard well, since a Dachshund will dig under one, and check for ticks after any time in tall grass.
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 Kansas 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 three airports serving Kansas, carrier under the seat. Either way, our team confirms the date with you and sends updates until the puppy is home.
Ground delivery suits Dachshunds, and our drivers watch the forecast during Kansas storm season. A snug crate in a climate-controlled vehicle is a den dog's happy place, and most sleep along I-70 or I-35 with a stretch-and-potty stop or two. Puppies 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 Kansas.
A flat $799 to any airport we serve for Kansas. Your puppy rides in the cabin in a soft carrier at the nanny's feet, never in cargo, so neither summer heat nor winter cold embargoes on checked pets apply. The nanny hands your puppy to you at arrivals.

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 Kansas 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 Kansas 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 vaccine Overland Park, Wichita, Lawrence, Topeka, and nearly every Kansas city require for licensing by 4 to 6 months, start tick and heartworm prevention since both are common here, and talk you through Dachshund back care: keep them lean, add a ramp to the couch, and carry them on stairs. 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 Kansas City International for Johnson County, Wichita, and Manhattan, 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.

KANSAS QUESTIONS
The questions Kansas Dachshund families ask most, from kennel country and storm season to city licensing and digging.
Kansas has no statewide ban on pet store puppy sales, and because the state is home to a large number of commercial kennels, store Dachshunds here often come from very large operations nearby. 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 Kansas families directly with vetted breeders who raise Dachshunds in their homes and share all of that up front.
Yes, with two caveats. Minis are small, clean, and content in a newer Overland Park complex or a Delano apartment in Wichita, and they clear every weight limit in the state. But Dachshunds bark at hallway noise unless you train them early, and their long backs don't love stairs, so favor an elevator building or a ground-floor unit and add a ramp to the couch. They're just as happy in a Lenexa house with a fenced yard, as long as the fence goes into the ground.
It depends on the city. There's no statewide dog license in Kansas, but Overland Park, Olathe, Lawrence, Topeka, Wichita, and most other cities issue their own and want a current rabies certificate first. Kansas is also one of the few states with no statewide rabies law, so that requirement comes from your city or county as well. Your city's animal control page lists fees and deadlines.
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 Kansas in a climate-controlled delivery vehicle or in the cabin with a flight nanny to the airport nearest you. We confirm the schedule with you and send updates along the way.
Flights into Kansas are short, about 1 to 2 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.
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 Kansas, or which Miniature Dachshund would suit your home. We'll set up a video call so you can meet your puppy before you decide.
