FUR-quently AskeD Questions

Do you offer AKC Registration?

What kind of medical care do your puppies receive?

What kind of medical care do your puppies receive?

  Yes. All our puppies are registered under a Limited AKC Registration (Pet/Companion only) with a spay/neuter agreement. We only grant Full AKC Registration (Breeding Rights) to approved, selective preservation breeders whose breeding programs and health-testing protocols align with our standards. We do not offer unregistered puppies.

What kind of medical care do your puppies receive?

  Pups are UTD (up-to-date) on age-appropriate deworming (2, 4, 6, 8 weeks) and come with their first set of DAPPv shots, an OCVI (Florida Health Certificate), and a 1-year genetic health guarantee.

Are your dogs health tested?

What kind of medical care do your puppies receive?

What do your puppies come home with?

   

All our breeding dams and sires are genetically health-tested through Embark to ensure we are pairing dogs that are genetically compatible, and to mitigate or avoid hereditary diseases and deleterious traits. We employ responsible breeding practices by evaluating carrier status to optimize litter health.

What do your puppies come home with?

  Each puppy goes home with a custom puppy pack containing a litter-scented blanket, a starter bag of their current kibble/diet, potty training pads, and other essential new-puppy swag.

Do you have a waiting list?

  Our dogs are house-raised (under foot and in our beds) and enjoy a kennel-free environment, actively sharing our living spaces and sleeping indoors. We also provide secure, enriched outdoor areas that offer plenty of stimulation, safe exercise, and comfortable lounging spaces. Our dams and litters reside in a dedicated, climate-controlled whelping room and nursery (inside our home) that provides a quiet, peaceful space to raise their puppies.

  At Dotted Doxies, our top priority is the health and welfare of our dams and litters. To protect our developing pups while their immune systems are immature, we maintain a strict biosecurity protocol. We allow individual, hands-on visits in a sanitized environment once puppies have reached four to five weeks of age. For disease control, we do not permit outside pets on the premises or group visits. We reserve the right to modify our visiting schedule to maintain a controlled environment. To keep you connected, we provide Facetime access along with regular photo and video updates.

  Our adult dams and sires are maintained on a species-appropriate diet consisting of an excluded grain-free kibble (Taste of the Wild High Prairie) featuring novel and high-quality protein sources like roasted bison and venison. We top-dress this with a complete and balanced freeze-dried raw beef recipe to increase palatability and bioavailability. This dietary regimen is fortified with daily probiotics for optimal gut flora and salmon oil to support macronutrient intake and coat health. We feed the equivalent puppy-formula variants to our litters, adjusting for life-stage nutritional requirements. Complete weaning and developmental nutrition guidelines are outlined in our puppy culture/care packet.

Because dachshunds are a chondrodystrophic breed highly prone to Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), we recommend delaying your pup's spay or neuter until they are 12-18 months old, or roughly after the growth plates (epiphyseal plates) have naturally closed.

Because dachshunds are a chondrodystrophic breed highly prone to Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), we recommend delaying your pup's spay or neuter until they are 12-18 months old, or roughly after the growth plates (epiphyseal plates) have naturally closed.

By delaying the procedure, you allow your pup’s natural sex hormones (like estrogen and testosterone) to fully mature. This prolonged exposure to natural hormones is vital for the proper development of the skeletal frame, ligaments, and joint cartilage. 

When puppies are desexed too early, the lack of these hormones can lead to structural and joint abnormalities, which can further aggravate the spine and potentially worsen the risks associated with the breed's notorious back issues. As always, we strongly suggest consulting with a licensed veterinarian to weigh the pros and cons and make the best decision for your pup's long-term health and wellness.

Should I purchase a collar or a harness?

 We say both!   

Collars are ideal for everyday wear during indoor time and quick potty breaks in the yard, holding essential ID tags, rabies tags, and microchip tags for fast identification.

Harnesses are perfect for extended walks, and high-distraction environments. They also are better equipped for leash training and prevent tracheal col

Collars are ideal for everyday wear during indoor time and quick potty breaks in the yard, holding essential ID tags, rabies tags, and microchip tags for fast identification.

Harnesses are perfect for extended walks, and high-distraction environments. They also are better equipped for leash training and prevent tracheal collapse in small or chondrodysplastic breeds prone to pulling, such as Dachshunds, by distributing pressure across the sternum and girth rather than the cervical spine.
