Raised in our home
No kennels, no cages. Our puppies grow up underfoot — around the vacuum, the doorbell, the kids and the cat.
We are a small family breeder hand-raising miniature long-haired Dachshunds — silky coats, short legs, and considerably more personality than the size suggests.

5 puppies available across 2 litters, and a great deal of attention paid to each one.
No kennels, no cages. Our puppies grow up underfoot — around the vacuum, the doorbell, the kids and the cat.
Every puppy leaves with age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming complete, and a veterinary health certificate.
Backed by a written guarantee against life-threatening congenital and hereditary conditions.
A long spine is this breed’s one real vulnerability. Our puppies are lifted properly from the start, and we will show you how.
Melissa’s Doxies is a small family programme built around one breed and one variety of it: the miniature long-haired Dachshund. Melissa Evans founded it in 2010, and we keep our numbers deliberately low — 3 litters this season — because the things that matter most for this breed cannot be done at scale.
That means puppies raised underfoot rather than in a kennel, deliberate socialisation around children and other dogs, and an honest conversation about backs, stairs and weight before you commit rather than after.

We drove six hours to pick up Poppy and it was worth every mile.
Rusty is the third Dachshund we have owned and the first that came to us already used to being handled. He lets us brush him, clip his nails and check his teeth without a fight.
I lost my wife in the spring and my daughter thought a dog might help. Gus has not left my side since October.
Reach out today — we'd love to help you find the right Dachshund for your family.
