    We hold a high standard here regarding the quality of our breeding dogs, their health, the care they receive and their temperament. We make necessary sacrifices to uphold those standards so that we are only producing healthy, sound, high quality Dachshunds. We also have all paperwork completed and ready to hand over to you when you come to pickup your puppy.

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

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

    Our puppies include 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 puppies include piebald, red, chocolate and tan, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Working with Midwest Dachshunds was an amazing experience. They communicated quickly and throughly when we had questions , provided wonderful puppy updates, and provided great care for our puppy. We were very impressed working with them!

    Luke & his team were so professional and quite helpful. They responded quickly when we requested for a pup and were well informed even after we picked up our puppy, Mazikeen. She had a slight cut on the back of her ear from freshly cut nails, but they were very helpful on giving us advice on what do with her cut and being able to heal in about a week. They supply you with so much information from AKC paperwork & shots/vaccines for the vet. Along with some treats, a small bag of dog food, a few toys and a bone. The pickup place was very professional and kept clean and sanitized making sure you are not bringing any dirty shoes, or clothes to their place. We are so graceful that we picked up our Mazikeen from Luke, we highly recommend them if you are looking for a new addition to your family!

    Luke and Glennda were very responsive to any questions we got. They are knowledgeable about the breed and gave us a lot of recommendations. We received many updates about our pup in the process. The puppy was definitely cared for and he has quite a good character. Apart from him being positive for Giardia when he arrived (which is apparently quite common in puppies) we had no issues and no complaints. We are truly grateful we picked our puppy and would definitely do it all over again.

    Luke was incredibly responsive, and it’s clear he truly cares for his puppies. We got Ringo from Luke, and he is the sweetest, most gentle-natured dog. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our new family member! I would highly recommend Luke and his puppies to anyone looking for a loving adorable addition to their family!
