HonestPet matches Oregon families with vetted breeders who raise Dachshund litters at home, and every puppy arrives vet-checked, microchipped, and delivered free by ground to any Oregon address, from a Sellwood bungalow to a Lake Oswego colonial to a house in the pines outside Bend.
Health-tested parents · 10-year health guarantee · Free ground delivery to Oregon.
THE HONESTPET DIFFERENCE
Buying a puppy online takes trust. Here's what you can count on when you work with us.
Dachshunds are alarm systems with short legs, and the ones raised in a busy home learn what to ignore. Our breeders raise litters in their living rooms, around kids, the doorbell, and the dishwasher, so your puppy treats an Alberta Arts hallway or a Beaverton cul-de-sac as ordinary instead of barking at every bicycle.
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 Pearl District condo, a bolder wirehaired one for a Bend family that's on a trail every weekend and doesn't mind a muddy dog.
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. Oregon families choose free ground delivery to the door or a flight nanny who carries the puppy in the cabin to PDX or another nearby airport, so the long trip west is handled, and a Mini Dachshund rides comfortably either way.

ABOUT THE BREED
A Miniature Dachshund is 11 pounds or less of nerve, nose, and loyalty, bred to follow badgers underground and now mostly interested in your lap. They're bold, funny, and stubborn, and they do well in Oregon's mild wet climate as long as they have a rain jacket, since a belly that low catches every puddle. Wirehaired coats shrug off the drizzle best; smooth and longhaired pups just need a towel by the door.
Our Miniature Dachshunds finish between 8 and 11 pounds. That's under the pet limit in any Portland apartment, small enough for a carrier on MAX or a TriMet bus, and light enough to carry up the stairs of a Hawthorne fourplex, which spares their backs.
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 Forest Park loop. On dry days they'll happily do a stretch of the Springwater Corridor at their pace, and a run on an Oregon beach, nearly all of which welcome dogs, is the best day of their year. One Oregon rule: never let them nose at raw fish on a riverbank, since salmon poisoning disease is a real risk for dogs here.
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 Oregon families take free ground delivery straight to the front door. If you'd rather not wait for the cross-country drive, a flight nanny can fly your Dachshund in the cabin to one of four Oregon airports, carrier under the seat. Either way, our team coordinates the date with you and sends updates until the puppy is home.
Ground delivery to Oregon is a long trip, so our drivers plan it around the puppy: a snug crate in a climate-controlled vehicle, frequent water-and-potty stops, and overnight rest when the route calls for it. Dachshunds are den dogs and tend to sleep through most of it, arriving curious rather than rattled.
Prefer to meet your puppy in person first? When the breeder's location and schedule line up, HonestPet can set up a visit before your Dachshund heads west.
A flat $799 to any Oregon 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 Oregon gets a nose-to-tail 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 the certificate of veterinary inspection required for interstate travel, and the exam goes into the puppy's digital records for your Oregon 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 Oregon requires for every dog and the leptospirosis shot many Willamette Valley vets recommend for a dog that drinks from puddles, and will 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 Portland, Eugene, Medford, and Redmond for Bend, 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.

OREGON QUESTIONS
The questions Oregon Dachshund families ask most, from the state pet store law and the rain to county licensing and airport pickups.
Almost certainly not. Since a 2023 state law took effect, Oregon has barred any pet store that wasn't already selling dogs from starting, and the few grandfathered stores operate under strict limits, so breeder-raised Dachshunds have largely vanished from store windows. HonestPet is not a pet store. We connect Oregon families directly with vetted breeders who raise Dachshunds at home, show you the parents, and coordinate delivery to your door.
Yes, with two caveats. Minis are small, clean, and content in a Pearl District studio, and they clear every building weight limit in the city. 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. Portland has more dog-friendly patios than almost anywhere, so you'll rarely have to leave them home.
Yes, in most counties. Oregon hands licensing to the counties, and Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, Marion, Lane, and Deschutes each require an annual license once your Dachshund has a current rabies certificate, which state law requires for every dog. Spayed and neutered dogs pay less, and most counties sell a multi-year license to match a three-year rabies shot.
Once your Dachshund is reserved, HonestPet plans the route from the breeder's home to yours. The puppy gets a final vet check and a travel health certificate, then makes the trip west in a climate-controlled delivery vehicle or in the cabin with a flight nanny to PDX or the airport nearest you. We confirm the schedule with you and send updates along the way.
Flights to Oregon typically run 4 to 5 hours, depending on the breeder's location and which airport you choose, and the nanny books nonstop routes whenever possible. Your Dachshund stays in a carrier at the nanny's feet the entire time and never flies as cargo.
Sometimes. 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 set up individually rather than offered as drop-in appointments.
Call us with questions about any puppy, delivery to Oregon, or which Miniature Dachshund would suit your home. We'll set up a video call so you can meet your puppy before you decide.
