Meet the breeder

I'm Chuck G., the breeder behind Dachshunds Up North located in Bigfork, MN. We are a small Family Breeder of Long Hair, Smooth, and Wire Dachshunds. In 2022, we added a trio of Cairn Terriers. Our dogs live a life of luxury. We strive to breed puppies with a laid-back personality and Disposition, and do everything on our power to set our pups up for a life of health and happiness with their forever familes.

Q. & A. with Chuck

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We got into Breeding for the love of Dachshunds. We have been breeding for over 30 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

    Dachshund puppies include miniature and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Dachshund puppies include wirehaired, smooth, and longhaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Cairn Terrier puppies include silver brindle, wheaten, red wheaten, and brindle.

Getting a puppy from Chuck

Price

Puppy prices include a $200 non-refundable deposit. The remaining $1,000 - $2,500 is due at pickup, 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 wait list fee is in our accounts your pick of a puppy is NOT reserved. The amount is 200.00, Non refundable, for your puppy. When the litter is born if there is not a puppy of your liking the wait list fee 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 up to 4 reservations for each litter. Only reason a 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 order paid and date of application. At 2-3 weeks after birth we will send 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 48hours to make your pick. If not your spot is given to next in line and you go to last spot. If no reply with in 2 weeks you loose your spot on the litter completely. If it happens twice then you will forfeit your wait list fee.”

    We really lucked out working with Chuck! He made the whole process so incredibly smooth. He helped us with a great starter pack, excellent information, and best of all, our new family member Finnegan. We love our puppy and he is so healthy and smart. Chuck really cares about the well being and health of the puppy. We’re just so lucky to get that high level of care and support.

    Chuck & his wife were so incredibly helpful from the very beginning. We found the perfect puppy that we wanted to welcome to our family & they made it happen so effortlessly - even getting her all the way to the UK! They communicated the whole duration whilst we waited for her to be old enough to travel and we received weekly videos with lovely personal touches throughout. I would definitely choose them again in the future and would highly recommend them. Thank you so much for making a dream come true possible!

    It was a pleasure working with Dachshunds Up North. Chuck and Gwen were very helpful and answered all questions that I had. I appreciate their help in finding my new baby and will definitely come back to them to get her a sibling.

    Chuck and Gwen were so helpful in preparing me to bring my fur baby home. They answered all of my questions so quickly and thoroughly. Still can’t believe how seamlessly Mabel (Eclaire) transitioned to being a member of our family. She has such a sweet and chill personality but she knows how to play hard and make us laugh.
