West Texas Dachshunds

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at westtexasdachshunds@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is priority waitlist?

This allows for you to jump to the front of the line and place a security deposit to get either first, second, or third pick of the litter. This does go in order that the deposits are sent. I will only allow this based on the litter size either during pregnancy or once they are born. This is only for those that want a dachshund and are not picking based on color or gender. I no longer take a regular waitlist, and all of our pups are based on priority waitlist, or first come once posted. Pictures will only be sent to priority within the first two weeks of life.

What is the price for a pup?

Prices start at $1800 plus tax

Prices vary on colors and patterns.

Do you have any puppies available?

If we have any available pups, we will contact the priority waitlist first, then we will contact the waitlist. Available pups will be listed after the waitlists get their pick.

Do you offer full rights?

All of our pups are AKC certified, you can register them and gain all of the benefits that AKC offers. We only sell pet only, meaning that we do not sell breeding rights. Why? We like to protect our pups from puppy mills or inexperienced breeders who do not care for the dog's wellbeing.

We may sell breeding rights to professional breeders only, this will vary.

Do you offer financing?

At this time, we do not offer any financing, however we accept all major credit cards, Venmo, and PayPal with a 2.99% transaction fee. An invoice along with the contract will be sent to your email for all deposits. You must notify me if you wish to pay this way.

Do you do any health testing?

Yes, we use Embark which is a genetic screening tool primarily used for dogs. It analyzes a dog’s DNA to provide information about its breed composition, genetic health risks, and traits. This will only apply to our parents; individual puppies can be tested upon request at your expense. Previously our adult parents were only tested for PRA and for the dapple gene, now we are doing a full health test which test for over 270+ health conditions.

What all do the puppies come with?

All of our pups come with age-appropriate vaccines, dewormed every 2 weeks, coccidia preventative (not guaranteed), microchipped, and a take home package which includes a sample of the current food and gifts that we provide. We also provide a vet check only if necessary, or if health certificate is required, and or on certain litters.
