Q. & A. with Chuck

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We got into Breeding for the love of Dachshunds. We have been breeding for 28 years, and every day is a Joy for us.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs live in our home and are very socialized and loved on! We also are a firm believer in a daily wafer to each of our dogs of Nuvet. Here is a link for you and if link is followed we can track who and how often our puppy's get Nuvet. As long as they get it daily and you follow our recommendations on spay/neutering, we extend our warranty from 1 year to 3 years. That is how much faith we have in Nuvet. https://1drv.ms/w/s!AuiPAtYdpyGCgZILN1u2_9DR2j3T9A?e=g3Lebv

Getting a puppy from Chuck

Chuck has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

Price

Puppy prices include a $200 non-refundable deposit and between $1,000 - $2,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“The price includes, Vet health check, First three sets of shots, Microchip, Lifetime Support from us, our Health Guarantee, 30 days prepaid pet insurance through Trupanion and a New Family gift bag. PLEASE Remember until your deposit is in our accounts your pick of a puppy is NOT reserved. Deposit is 200.00, Non refundable, for their puppy. When the litter is born and there is not a puppy of your liking the deposit may be transferred to any available puppy or upcoming litters. This is best way to get a puppy from a litter. We will only take 4 deposits for each litter. We have never done this before but we are getting so many applications daily That this will eliminate people not following through and making people that really do want a new baby not have to wait and wonder if they will get a puppy. Only reason a deposit paid family would not get a puppy is if they choose to wait. For such reasons as wrong color, all boys and they wanted a girl. or 1 boy 3 girls and a person wanting a boy that was ahead of that person. We will go by deposit paid and date of application. At 2-3 days after birth we will sent or post pictures of the litter. Family with 1st pick will make their pick. Then family two will be notified, and they will make their pick, and so on. Once notified you have 3 days yo make your pick. If not your spot is given to next inline and you go to last spot. If no reply with in 2 weeks you loose your spot on the litter completely. If it happen twice then you will forfeit your deposit.”

    Working with Dachshunds Up North was pure joy. From finding the most beautiful, sweet, lovable, and spunky puppy that ever hit the planet to answering all of my questions to sending me weekly video "pupdates" and arranging a wonderful flight nanny, I felt that my puppy and I were in trustworthy hands. I highly recommend Chuck and Gwen from Dachshunds Up North.

    It was really great working with Chuck! He was very responsive and helpful with answering all of my questions. Our little Bonnie is just the sweetest, I would recommend Dachshunds Up North to anyone looking to add a furry friend to their family!

    We are so happy to have gotten a puppy from Dachshunds Up North! Chuck was very responsive, and we loved the weekly videos from Gwen. They made the process easy, and we had no doubt that we would get an amazing puppy. Pickup went well, and Chuck was very kind and gave us so much good advice. Our puppy Frankfurter has been so amazing, and we love him so much! He had already bonded with me on the drive home, and he has been so incredible. At 8 weeks old, Frankfurter was already content to be in his crate overnight. He is doing so well with potty training, and was already indicating when he had to go out after just one week of having him. He is so smart, resilient, and loving. We love him so much and couldn't be happier with him!
