Paradise Dachshunds Puppy Application
Updated April 19, 20245
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
We are a show dog exhibitor and preservationist breeder, breeding for the continuation and betterment of the Dachshund breed.
Breeding for quality, not quantity!
Please note: I am only breeding smooth coat (short hair) miniature dachshunds. I can refer you to a friend who breeds long hair. The only color(s) I breed for is red, or black/tan. I don't breed patterns (brindle, dapple, piebald), or creams or chocolates.
As of April, 2025: I will no longer keep specific waiting lists. Puppies will be sold on first come, first serve basis. Keep checking my AVAILABLE page for updates.
I keep all applications, and your emails so I am aware of your interest and timing. Please send me an email for an update if you do not see any new updates on my AVAILABLE page.
I will no longer accept deposits until we have a phone call or have met at a show, and a firm pick up/delivery date for an AVAILABLE puppy has been established. In the past, I have moved deposits to the next litter or have held it for a substantial period of time however, I am no longer doing so.
I ALWAYS have first choice in any litter. I may not keep anything, but no decisions are made on which puppy is yours until I do my 'show' evaluations. This can take until 10-12 weeks. But often I make my decision at 8-9 weeks.
Any puppy I do not keep or co-own for show purposes is sold as a lifetime companion pet on a spay/neuter contract. My puppies are sold to PET HOMES as a companion, with no papers. If you purchase a show dog from me then AKC registration will be on a co-own registration only. No exceptions to my policy.
Please read all my policies before submitting your application.
My policies can be found here Policies
Please do not fill out an application if you can't afford to buy and care for a puppy. You must be between the age of 24-74 years, and in good health. My exact litter prices and expected wait time will be discussed once the application is received and reviewed.
I reserve the right to only sell puppies to the following states - Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, CT, Maine, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania because my puppies must come back to me if you can not keep or care for them. This is to protect the puppy.
Please answer the following questions by selecting the appropriate choice. At the end is a section for comments and other things which you think will benefit me in getting to know you better. In the comments section, please state your preference for either a male or female, a red or b/t. The more open you are to gender and color, the sooner you will get a puppy. Please remember that once neutered/spayed, the sex hormones and any behaviors associated with the puppy being a male or female are gone.
My puppy price is firm and will not change once I add you to my list. Discounts are given for your 2nd 'Paradise' dachshund, but the discount is off of current pricing.
Thank you. I will do my best to get back to you within 14 days. I really do appreciate your patience.
