Our Process - What You Need To Know Before Getting A Puppy
Picking a Puppy
We let buyers pick out their puppies, but we will tell you about every puppy's personality and pedigree so you can decide which puppy is the best fit for you and your lifestyle. Most of our puppies have very classic dachshund personalities and do well with kids of all ages and other dogs. If you are looking for a show or breeding prospect, we can evaluate the puppies to help you decide which might be the best fit. We also occasionally have puppies that would do good in a sporting or working home; just let us know exactly what you're looking for!
Deposit
Once you have a chosen puppy, we will request a non-refundable $600 deposit to hold the puppy. The deposit will go towards the final price of your puppy. We will only refund the deposit if we decide that the puppy is not a good fit for you, or if something happens to the puppy while they are under our care or during transport that we arranged, such as if the puppy is stolen, falls ill, or in the case of a natural disaster. Once your deposit is placed, we will ask for your full name, address, and phone number for our AKC records and your puppy's vet records.
Delivery
We can deliver via air cargo to most places in the U.S., but be sure to double check with us if we can ship to your local airport. Flying the puppy will also be determined by the weather and temperatures. We can also offer a flight nanny service or ground transport as needed. All deliveries we arrange will be at the cost of the buyer; but you are more than welcome to arrange your own delivery or come and meet us locally. We can meet in Kansas City or up to an hour away for no cost. But we are flexible; always reach out to us at witpdachshunds@gmail.com to confirm; sometimes we can meet farther for little cost or cover the cost of delivery in special cases. We can also bring puppies with us to dog shows where you can come pick them up if that is closer to you!
After Bringing Home Your Puppy
Our puppies go home at 10 weeks old, but we will hold them for longer (at no cost to their future owner) if we think they need to be older before going home. They are dewormed, microchipped, vet-checked, and current on vaccinations before going home. Once you bring your puppy home, they will be covered under our 1-year health guarantee for genetic illness, with the exception of IVDD. But if you have a puppy fall sick with a genetic condition after the 1-year mark, still reach out to us, and we might be able to help.
We will always take a puppy back at any point in time. We do have a contract that requires our puppies never go to a rescue, shelter, or animal advocacy group. For as long as you have your puppy, we are here to offer you advice as you need it, so always feel free to reach out or browse our website for tips!
