Any questions for us?

Our adults are placed "as is" and have no health guarantee, their vet bills will become your responsibility. Are you ok with this? (They will have a health check-up by our vet prior to leaving.)

Some of are adults are very prey driven, love to bark and chase squirrels, cats, rabbits etc, will this be a problem?

Most of our adults are diggers!! Will this be a issue? If not how will you manage?

Will your dog be an inside to outside dog?

We do not guarantee our adults to be fully potty trained, they still have accidents, will this be a issue?

Dachshunds have long backs which can lead to IVDD. IVDD is where these discs deteriorate (calcify/harden), wherein they become susceptible to bulging or bursting - especially with hard impacts (jumping off a couch, steps, rough play, etc.) Will you be able to provide ramps, stairs and/or emergency vet car if needed?

Please list two references, one should be your current veterinarian.

If you have not please send us a message on Facebook or an email (kcdachshundempire@gmail.com)
