About Our Family
About us
When you arrive at Dachshund Nest, you’re stepping into more than just a name on a website you’re entering a story, a passion, and a family built around the love of one very special kind of dog. Dachshunds have a way of making life brighter, of adding humor with their long bodies and short legs, of filling spaces with their curiosity and joy, and of capturing hearts with their loyal, loving nature. Our journey began not with a business plan, but with a feeling the deep love we had for our first dachshund and the realization that these little dogs have something truly magical about them. It was a love so strong that it became impossible not to share it with others. That love became Dachshund Nest.
Like many families, our story started simply. One dachshund, one family, one bond that grew deeper every single day. That first pup taught us everything about resilience, devotion, and unconditional love. Dachshunds are often underestimated because of their size, but anyone who has ever known one understands that their courage, loyalty, and hearts are far bigger than their little frames. That spirit captured us completely. Over time, as more dachshunds joined our home, we realized this wasn’t just a hobby or a personal love it was a calling. And so, Dachshund Nest became not only a place where dachshunds lived, but a place where their stories could begin and continue in the arms of families who love them as much as we do.
The word “Nest” was chosen deliberately. A nest is a place of warmth, safety, nurture, and love. It’s where new life begins, where comfort is found, and where bonds are formed that last a lifetime. That’s exactly what we wanted for every dachshund that comes into our care a true nest where they are safe, loved, and cherished until the day they join their forever families. And when they do, we hope that warmth and love travels with them into their new homes.
Over the years, Dachshund Nest has grown, but never in a way that lost the heart of why we began. Each puppy here is still raised as part of a family, not as part of a machine. Every single dachshund is known by name, by personality, and by the little quirks that make them unique. Some are bold explorers, rushing headfirst into every new adventure. Some are sweet snugglers, happiest when nestled in your lap or curled up under a blanket. Some are clowns, bringing laughter with their silly antics. Some are thoughtful souls, watching the world quietly before joining in. And to us, each of those personalities is precious. They deserve to be celebrated, not overlooked.
Our philosophy has always been simple: dachshunds are family. They are not commodities, not objects to be bought and sold, but living souls who deserve love, respect, and the very best care. That’s why everything we do at Dachshund Nest is guided by love. From the first moments of a puppy’s life, we ensure they are surrounded by warmth, gentle handling, and the human connection that will help them grow into confident companions. We pay attention to their health, their development, and their emotional well-being because we know that the way a puppy begins life shapes who they become.
We also believe that dachshunds have a special place in the lives of humans. They are more than pets they are partners in every sense of the word. They are there to comfort you on difficult days, to celebrate with you in happy moments, to bring humor to the ordinary, and to remind you of the beauty in small things. They may be little, but the space they fill in your heart is immeasurable. When someone welcomes a dachshund into their life, they aren’t just adding a dog to their home they’re adding laughter, loyalty, and love that will last for years.
The families who come to Dachshund Nest are as important to us as the puppies themselves. We don’t simply hand over a puppy and say goodbye. Instead, we build a relationship with every person who reaches out, because we know this is a big decision, one that changes lives. We listen, we guide, and we share honestly. If someone isn’t ready, we support them until they are. If someone has questions, we answer with patience and care. We believe in finding the right match, not just making a placement. For us, it’s about ensuring that every dachshund finds the home where they will be loved exactly as they are.
There’s something deeply rewarding about watching a family meet their dachshund for the first time. The excitement, the nervous laughter, the way a puppy runs into their arms as if they’ve been waiting their whole lives for that moment it’s indescribable. Those are the moments that keep us going, the moments that remind us why we started Dachshund Nest in the first place. It’s not about numbers or transactions it’s about stories, love, and connections that last forever.
Health and happiness are cornerstones of what we do. We know that when a family adopts a dachshund, they are placing their trust in us. That trust is sacred. It’s why we work closely with trusted veterinarians, follow strict health practices, and provide transparent records to every family. Every dachshund leaves our nest with the assurance that they’ve been given the best start we can possibly give. And beyond health, we make sure they are emotionally ready too socialized, comfortable, and familiar with the sounds and touches of everyday life. That way, when they arrive in your home, they don’t just survive the transition, they thrive in it.
The love we have for dachshunds extends beyond our walls. We are passionate about educating people about the breed about their quirks, their needs, their strengths, and their challenges. Dachshunds are wonderfully unique, but they also require understanding. They are brave but sometimes stubborn, playful but also deeply sensitive. We want every family to be prepared not just for the cuddles and laughter, but also for the training, the patience, and the responsibility that comes with raising a dachshund. Because when you embrace them fully, with all their traits, the bond you form is unlike any other.
We’ve seen firsthand how dachshunds can transform lives. We’ve seen them bring comfort to those who were lonely, laughter to families who needed joy, and companionship to people who longed for connection. We’ve heard stories from families who say their dachshund helped them through grief, encouraged them to get outside and live life more fully, or simply reminded them every day of what unconditional love looks like. These stories remind us that what we do matters. It’s not just about puppies it’s about the lives they touch.
Every family who joins Dachshund Nest becomes part of our extended family. We love staying connected, hearing updates, and watching our puppies grow into beloved companions. It fills our hearts to see the photos, to hear the stories, and to know that the little dachshunds who began in our nest are now bringing happiness to homes across the country. Those updates are not just nice to receive they are the heartbeat of what we do. They remind us that love grows far beyond our walls, stretching into countless homes, hearts, and lives.
What makes Dachshund Nest different is not just the puppies we raise, but the way we view this journey. For us, this is not a business to manage, it’s a way of life. Every morning starts with wagging tails, little paws, and the joy of seeing dachshunds greet the day. Every night ends with the quiet comfort of knowing that what we are doing is creating bonds that last a lifetime. The in-between hours are filled with feeding, playing, caring, training, and loving. It’s work, yes, but it’s the kind of work that feels like a privilege. Because raising dachshunds isn’t a job it’s a gift.
We’ve also built Dachshund Nest on a foundation of transparency. Families deserve honesty, and we are committed to providing it. Whether it’s about health records, travel arrangements, or simply what to expect when bringing home a dachshund, we speak openly and clearly. We believe that trust is the most important part of this process, and we work hard to earn and keep that trust.
When you choose Dachshund Nest, you’re not just finding a puppy you’re finding a family that stands beside you. We’ll celebrate with you when your dachshund learns a new trick, comfort you when the challenges arise, and cheer for you as you and your dachshund grow together. Because we believe every dachshund deserves not just a home, but a family that understands and loves them fully.
As the years go on, our commitment remains the same: to raise dachshunds with love, to place them in homes where they are cherished, and to build connections with families that last a lifetime. Dachshund Nest is built on heart, and that heart is what guides us every day. Our dream is that every dachshund we raise finds not just a house, but a true home, and not just an owner, but a family who will love them forever.

Because at the end of the day, life is better with a dachshund, and every dachshund deserves a nest where their story can begin.
