Miniature Dachshunds Puppy Application

Miniature Dreams Dachshunds
Puppy Adoption Application We know many families have two working adults and we don't expect anyone to be a super hero and quit a day job just to be able to take home a puppy. Every puppy family has different needs, and this information form helps us identify who needs what information and what homes might make the best fit. If you're a veteran dachshund owner, we don't want to waste your time regaling things you already know; by the same token, if this is your first puppy, we want to make sure you leave prepared for what life with a dachshund puppy may bring.

WHAT TO EXPECT
GOING HOME: We cannot hold puppies for extended times without planning in advance and we are generally able to accompdate with planning; it is critical for their social development that the litter departs within a reasonable timeframe. If you have a big vacation planned or have events that would conflict with a young puppy, please know puppies cannot be boarded in a kennel until they have received their full immunizations and their rabies vaccination which cannot be done until at minimum 3 months of age and since we begin immunizations with our vet at 8 weeks, a realistic expectation is 4 months of age to complete vaccinations. We would however encourage you to never take a puppy to a boarding kennel and instead work with family or contact us for any boarding needs.
CONTRACT: We have a contract and will not place a puppy without a signed contract. We believe it's the professional thing to do to memorialize our obligations to each other on paper so there are no questions later, and for that reason it's a bit lengthy. If you have questions about specific terms, you need to contact us prior to picking up your puppy.
SPAY/NEUTER: We require spay/neuter AFTER 24 months to ensure the puppy is able to grow and develop properly and reduce/eliminate the chance of IVDD due to loss of hormones through Spay/neuter.

We have a strict take-back provision in our contract. Any puppy from our home always has a home here, and will never experience the fear and burden of life at a shelter, rescue, or moving from home to home. Because we take cradle-to-grave "original home" responsibility for the puppies we created, we require that you notify us if you can no longer keep your dog, for ANY reason at ANY age or health condition.
REGISTRATION PAPERS: Our excellent family companions do come with registration papers to AKC registry. Your puppy will come with registration already completed at my expence and will be micrdochipped as well. I place myself as primary contact on all microchips so if anything ever happens, a lost or stolen/found dog, dropped at a rescue, vet or shelter, I will be first contacted and you secondarily to enable me to get the puppy/dog out of the situation ASAP as I never want one of my puppies in such a situation. Please refer to my "Take Back" policy regarding this situation.
