Thank you for coming to Huntingtons Miniature Dachshunds, a Canadian Kennel Club registered home of 6 happy breeding adult dachshunds and a few retired nannies on Vancouver Island. We are about 45 minutes from Victoria or an hour from Nanaimo.

Our first dachshund in 2007 - and the second shortly after - have brought us so much happiness that we wanted others to have the same opportunity to experience the love of a dachshund by giving families the chance to have a happy, healthy puppy from us.

Our dachshunds are lovable family companions with excellent health. Few occassions we have had pups with a narrow based K9 tooth but that usually resolves as puppy grows.

If you are looking for a quality puppy, contact us for availability.

We occasionally have smooth and long coat miniature and sometimes a "tweenie" size dachshunds in a variety of colours and the dapple pattern. No piebalds at the moment.

Our dachshunds are raised with lots of love and attention, with optimal health in mind. All of our adults are vet checked, vaccinated, tested and certified for breed specific conditions set out by the OFA and natinal clubs. Records will be supplied with the puppies paperwork. Since we consented, results of these tests are also publicly available to see on the OFA's website. Let me know if you want information how to check.

Most of our adults are registered with the Canadian Kennel Club. There are a few parents that have no papers yet. Still waiting for the paperwork from their previous owners/breeders. Some of these breeders are very slow in providing the registration papers, so at this point, no guarantees will be made as to when I can supply registration papers for our pups born from those parents. Puppies will be sold pet only from those adults. Prices are for Pet only puppies. If you require breeding rights, please inform me at the planning stages.

They have quality playtime inside and outside where they can do what dachshunds do best. Enjoy the sunshine, chase a ball, an occasional bird or butterfly or just run around for fun.

Puppies are handled daily. We start socializing them early so they can have the best start in life. We are not a big family, living on a quiet rural road so when you take your puppy home, he/she needs to see the world as soon as it's safe to do so.

My mother and I spend our every waking hours attending to our dogs. They have quality time inside and outside, they are also kennel trained and happy to be in there with a Bully Stick or a stuffed Kong to keep them occupied for a short periods of time when we are busy or we have potential puppy people visiting their puppies.

When you pick up your pup at 8 weeks, you will see the personality and temperament of that puppy. You will take home a sweet little pup that had a good start in life. Adults will be in the kennel or with my Mom away from the puppies during your visit.

Puppies start out with a clean slate. However, the rest is up to you. We have a window of 3-16 weeks to mold our puppy. Whichever way we like. You will have another 8 weeks to raise that pup to be a respectful, smart, obedient dog. If the puppy won't turn out to be respectful, smart, obedient, don't blame your breeder. Raising a puppy is a lot of work, require commitment. Sometimes you have to hire a trainer, if you can't do it yourself. Just because a puppy is cute when misbehaving, it's not going to be good on the longrun. You have to nip bad behavior in the butt, the very first time it happens. Most of the time, people need the help how to train a dog properly. Sooner the better.

Please note... an 8 weeks old puppy is not aggressive. They haven't got an aggressive bone in their body. The first time a puppy plays, it's with his/her mother. They bite her tail, they bite her ears, they bite her lips. When she has enough, she will correct them with a little growl. As they grown, they will start to play with each other. Biting each other tail, pulling the ears, even growling but that does not mean that they will grow up to be aggressive dogs. If you adopt two puppies, or you have another one at home, this behaviour should be discouraged, and redirected to an appropriate toy. Especially if you have an older dog at home already. He/she may not appreciate a young one chewing her tail and biting her ears.

You have to train your puppy properly from day one, socialize her every day to make sure she will grow up to be an obedient dog.

Ask for help if you need to. Don't wait until it's too late.

About Us

PLEASE READ FIRST!!!

It has come to my attention that there is another website by the name of "Huntington top mini dachshund" looks like a huge operation with a bunch of dogs and they are using our dog pictures or dog pictures of other breeders who adopted dogs from us in the past for their listings. Under the pictures they have a fee of $53 USD.

We are not affiliated with them!!

Unfortunately, there are lots of scams on the Internet with comments. Anybody can post anything nowadays without any proof and they have zero regard for the consequences of their posts.

I am not on social media, so if you are looking for a puppy, please get in touch with me by text, phone or fill out the contact form below to be on our mailing list for a puppy from a future litter. Please DO NOT send any deposit. Please leave a phone number as well for me to reach you.

If you have questions, concerns or you want to know how come we have a puppy available, just reach out. I would be happy to explain it to you. If you are looking for a reference, I'd be happy to give you names to contact.
