FAMILY-RAISED IN HOME · DELIVERED TO NEW YORK
A Miniature Dachshund is the rare dog that fits a Manhattan studio and a Finger Lakes farmhouse equally well. HonestPet matches New York families with vetted breeders who raise their Dachshund litters at home, and every puppy arrives vet-checked, microchipped, and delivered free by ground anywhere in the state, from Brooklyn to Buffalo.
Health-tested parents · 10-year health guarantee · Free ground delivery to New York.
THE HONESTPET DIFFERENCE
Buying a puppy online takes trust. Here's what you can count on when you work with us.
Dachshunds have opinions, and the ones raised in a busy home have better ones. Our breeders raise litters in their living rooms, so puppies arrive already used to doorbells, vacuums, and footsteps overhead, which makes the first week in a Queens co-op or a Westchester split-level a lot calmer.
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, bold or mellow, we'll tell you which puppy fits your life rather than just the one with the best photo. A quieter pup for a thin-walled Upper West Side rental, a more adventurous one for a Long Island family with a backyard to patrol.
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 shop. New York families choose free ground delivery to the door or a flight nanny who carries the puppy in the cabin to a nearby airport, and a Mini Dachshund is small enough to ride comfortably either way.

ABOUT THE BREED
Miniature Dachshunds weigh 11 pounds or less fully grown, which puts them under the strictest co-op weight limit in the city, but they carry themselves like a much bigger dog. Bred to hunt badgers, they're brave, curious, loyal to a fault, and happy to spend the day under a blanket between walks. They come in smooth, longhaired, and wirehaired coats, and all three handle a New York winter with a good coat on.
Our Miniature Dachshunds finish between 8 and 11 pounds. That clears nearly every building pet limit in the five boroughs, fits in an airline carrier, and makes the fourth-floor walk-up easy, since you'll be carrying them up and down anyway to protect that long back.
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 a couple of brisk walks a day and a chance to sniff everything, but their legs are short, so the Hudson River Greenway at your pace is plenty. One New York must: the Dachshund Spring Fiesta in Washington Square Park every April, where hundreds of them show up in costume.
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
New York families mostly 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 seven airports in and around New York, and a puppy this size fits easily under the seat. Either way, our team confirms the date with you and sends updates until the puppy is in your arms.
Ground delivery suits Dachshunds well. They're den dogs by nature, so a cozy travel crate in a climate-controlled vehicle is their idea of a good time, and they'll usually sleep most of the way with a few stretch-and-potty stops. Puppies arrive at your door rather than an airport curb.
Want to meet your puppy first? When the breeder's location and schedule line up, HonestPet can set up an in-person visit before your Dachshund heads to New York.
A flat $799 to any New York airport we serve. Your puppy rides in the cabin in a soft carrier at the nanny's feet, never in cargo, and is handed to you in person 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 New York 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, which matters in a breed with a back this long. The vet issues a health certificate for travel, and the exam goes into the puppy's digital records.
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 New York requires by 4 months, and will talk you through Dachshund back care: keep them lean, add a ramp for the couch and bed, 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 JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo, 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.

NEW YORK QUESTIONS
The questions New York Dachshund families ask most, from walk-up stairs and barking to licenses and airport pickups.
No. New York's pet store ban took effect December 15, 2024, and stores can now only host shelter and rescue adoptions, so a breeder-raised Dachshund puppy can't come from a shop. HonestPet is not a pet store. We connect New York families directly with vetted breeders who raise Dachshunds at home, show you the parents, and deliver to your door.
Yes, with two caveats. They're small, clean, and content in a studio, and they'll clear almost any building weight limit. But Dachshunds bark at hallway noise unless you train them early, and their long backs don't love stairs, so plan to carry your pup in a walk-up and add a ramp to the couch. Check your building's pet policy, then expect your neighbors to fall for them.
Yes. Every dog 4 months and older must be licensed in New York State, and you'll need a current rabies certificate to apply. In the five boroughs, licenses come from the NYC Department of Health; everywhere else, from your town or city clerk. 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 New York in a climate-controlled delivery vehicle or in the cabin with a flight nanny. We confirm the schedule with you and send updates along the way.
Flights into New York typically run 1 to 3 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.
In some cases, 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 individually rather than offered as drop-in appointments.
Call us with questions about any puppy, delivery to New York, or which Miniature Dachshund would suit your home. We'll set up a video call so you can meet your puppy before you decide.
