At West Texas Dachshunds, we are committed to healthy breeding. Dachshunds are a popular breed known for their distinctive long backs and short legs, but they are prone to certain health issues, especially intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), obesity, and genetic conditions like PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy). Responsible breeding involves careful selection of mates to reduce the risk of passing on inherited diseases, promote sound structure, and maintain temperament and breed standards. Health screening, pedigree research, and consultation with a veterinarian or breed club are essential steps in ethical breeding. While Embark is a powerful tool, it doesn't guarantee that a dog is completely healthy or free from future health issues.
Socialization
At our home, socialization starts from day one. We believe early, positive experiences are key to raising confident, well-adjusted Dachshund puppies. From the moment they’re born, our puppies are gently handled daily, exposed to a variety of sights, sounds, and textures, and raised in the heart of our home — not a kennel.

At our home, socialization starts from day one. We believe early, positive experiences are key to raising confident, well-adjusted Dachshund puppies. From the moment they’re born, our puppies are gently handled daily, exposed to a variety of sights, sounds, and textures, and raised in the heart of our home — not a kennel.
As they grow, we introduce age-appropriate experiences: household noises like vacuum cleaners and dishwashers, car rides, new surfaces (carpet, tile, grass), and safe interactions with adults, children, and other dogs. We also practice gentle grooming routines (nail trims, baths, brushing) to help them feel comfortable with handling.
By the time our puppies go to their new homes, they’ve had a strong start — curious, resilient, and ready to bond with their new families. We’re proud to lay the foundation for happy, social companions.
Buying process
Our top priority is ensuring that each of our puppies is placed in a loving, responsible, and well-matched home. To support this, we have a thorough adoption process in place, which includes an application and a contract designed to protect both the puppy and the new family.
We reserve the right to decline any adoption if we feel it’s no
Our top priority is ensuring that each of our puppies is placed in a loving, responsible, and well-matched home. To support this, we have a thorough adoption process in place, which includes an application and a contract designed to protect both the puppy and the new family.
We reserve the right to decline any adoption if we feel it’s not in the best interest of the puppy. Throughout the entire process—and even after your puppy goes home—we’re always here to answer questions, offer guidance, and support you on your journey.
Vetting
Depending on the circumstances, some of our puppies are vet-checked before going to their new homes. Typically, we provide the first round of vaccinations, age-appropriate deworming, and microchipping ourselves to ensure each puppy gets a healthy start.
