Health Guarantee
We guarantee that are pups are in good health when purchased. Most pups have had either one or two vaccinations for parvo and distemper by the time they leaves. We use several brand name vaccines which cover cannine distemper, Adenovirus Type 2 and Parainfluenza-Parvovirus. We do not use leptosprious vaccine and highly recommend against its use due to a high incidence of allergic reactions which can be fatal. We also treat the pups for round worms at least once. We recommend that anyone purchasing a pup from us to take him or her to their own veterinarian as soon as possible. Genetic Defects - Miniature smooth and wirehair dachshunds do not have a great deal of known genetic defects, but occasional a defect will appear. While incidence is low, some known genetic defects are: eyes (especially dappled dachshunds); backs (intervertebal disc disease) which can cause lameness or paralysis in the rear legs; and poor bite where teeth alignment is incorrect. If any miniature dachshund purchased from us is later determined to have a serious genetic defect we offer two options for compensation: 1) return the dachshund and the purchase price will be refunded or 2) the purchaser can retain the dachshund and some monetary compensation will be made to the purchaser which is satisfactory to both the breeder and the purchaser. Any minor genetic defect, such as poor bite, if noted in the contract will not be covered. These defects must be detected prior to one year of age and authenticated by a licensed veterinarian. If dachshunds experience back problems, it is most likely to occur between the ages of 3 and 6.
Generally our pups are not allowed to leave until they are at least 8-10 weeks of age.
