Non-plussed Kirra - this feisty little sucker arrived two days after her siblings! Surprise package indeed...medical history?

Kirra and her babies arrived from 16/2/12 to 18/2/12 – natural birth. See new article for her amazing story!

Poor spaced out little Tandi ready to head home after her C-Section - but five lovely babes to show! Four girls, one boy born February 17.

We have litters throughout the year of smooth and long haired mini dachshund puppies.

You can see our past puppies on the Where Pups R Now page, plus one above.

From March 2012, all available puppies will be posted on this page*.

You can check out which parents are expecting babies and approximate due dates on the Upcoming Litters page (under construction).

When the puppies are born, we shall announce it on this page including a pic of mum and babies, colours and gender.

When puppies reach five weeks of age, we will have individual photos and a $100 deposit facility (a Paypal ‘Buy Now‘ type button).

This deposit is 100% refundable if for any reason you don’t wish to proceed once you have met puppy in person. It’s just our way of most fairly and practically managing the puppy allocation process.

* To people on our old system who have been waiting patiently, you will be handled privately and remain first in-line.

2. Terms of Sale

In purchasing a puppy from Dachshund Australia (DA) the new owner acknowledges that DA has to the best of their ability bred a sound and healthy dog and they have provided reasonable guarantees of this through a vet health certificate and a six week complimentary pet insurance policy (which can be extended by the owner).

Accordingly, the new owner accepts responsibility for the health and well being of the puppy from handover onwards.
