I'm Kimberly, the breeder behind Darling Dachshund. Our small-home program bridges exceptional health screening with a loving family environment — every puppy grows up in our house, not a kennel.
Hi, I'm Kimberly H., the breeder behind Darling Dachshund, based in Southgate, Michigan.
Our small-home program bridges exceptional health screening with a loving family environment. Puppies are raised in-home with constant human interaction, daily socialization, and exposure to normal household sounds — so they're confident and well-adjusted before joining your family.
A quick note on the breed: Dachshunds are small dogs with big personalities. They're loyal, clever, and can be genuinely dramatic — expect a dog who has opinions and isn't afraid to share them. If you love a dog with character, you're in the right place.
From health screening to early socialization, here's what goes into every Darling Dachshund puppy before they come home with you.
Every litter starts here — two healthy, well-tempered dogs whose coats and colors carry through to their pups.


Three boys currently available. Two of their littermates are already reserved — inquire early if one of these catches your eye. Expected grown weight for this litter is 9–14 lbs.



Two puppies from this litter are already reserved. Don't see the right fit? Reach out — we're happy to let you know about upcoming litters.
Fill out the form below. We ask a few questions about your home so we can make sure it's a good match for a Dachshund.
A $400 deposit via Venmo reserves your puppy. We'll stay in touch with updates and photos until pickup day.
Pay the remaining $1,900 in cash at pickup, and go home with your puppy, vet records, starter kit, and scent blanket.
We love our puppies and want to make sure every one goes to a home that's the right fit. Before we share contact details, we ask a few quick questions — nothing complicated, just enough to get to know you.
We'll get back to you personally, usually within a day.
