About Us

Every puppy we raise is born into love. From the moment they take their first breath, they are held, spoken to, and cared for with tenderness and intention. We wake up in the middle of the night to check on them. We hand-feed the smallest ones who need extra help. We celebrate every milestone — their first bark, their first steps, the moment they recognize our voice and come running. Raising these puppies isn’t something we do for a paycheck. We do it because it fills our lives with purpose and happiness. Watching them grow into confident, healthy, playful little souls is the reward we work for.
We believe that responsible breeding starts with responsible love. That means selecting only the healthiest, most emotionally sound parents, and making sure they are treated with the same care we give our puppies. Our adult Dachshunds are not just breeders — they are our companions. They are well-fed, well-groomed, exercised daily, and showered with affection. They get their time in the sun, their moments to rest, and their endless cuddles. They are not overbred, they are not retired into shelters, and they are never treated as commodities. They are the heartbeat of Ivory Dachshund Home, and we owe them everything.
When it comes to health, we go above and beyond what is expected. All our dogs undergo thorough health screenings, including DNA tests for common hereditary issues found in Dachshunds. Our puppies receive regular veterinary care, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and preventative health checks. We work closely with trusted veterinarians and professionals who know our dogs and share our values. Before any puppy goes to their forever home, they are examined head to tail and must meet our standards for health and temperament. We provide every new family with full health records, feeding guides, transition instructions, and a little blanket that smells like home — because we want that transition to be as smooth and loving as possible.
We spend a lot of time getting to know our puppies. We learn their quirks, their personalities, their favorite toys and napping spots. We match them with families not just based on looks or color but based on energy, temperament, and the kind of life they will thrive in. We’re not in a rush to place puppies in homes. We take our time to make sure the match is right. That’s why our process might feel more personal and in-depth than what you’ll find elsewhere. We care where our puppies go, and we want to make sure they’re going somewhere that feels just like home.
Our experience with families has been one of the most beautiful parts of this journey. We’ve watched shy children open up thanks to a devoted little Dachshund. We’ve seen elderly couples rediscover joy and laughter with a puppy by their side. We’ve reunited grieving pet parents with new hope, and we’ve helped countless people start fresh chapters filled with unconditional love. The notes we get, the photos, the updates — these are the things that keep us going. Every puppy we place leaves a paw print on our hearts, and we never forget them. We love staying in touch, watching them grow, and being part of their story long after they leave our home.
People often ask us what makes Ivory Dachshund Home different. And the answer is simple: we love harder, we care deeper, and we treat this as a calling, not a business. We are not trying to breed as many puppies as possible. We are trying to breed the right puppies — healthy, happy, emotionally balanced Dachshunds who bring light into the lives of everyone they meet. We limit our litters to ensure we have the time, energy, and attention to devote to each and every one. We do this because we believe in quality over quantity, and we know that our reputation depends on the trust of the families we serve.
There is no greater compliment than a returning family or a referral. Many of our puppies have siblings or cousins living in homes across the country, because once someone experiences what it means to adopt from us, they come back. That trust means everything to us. We work hard for it. We earn it by being transparent, by staying true to our values, and by never compromising on the things that matter most: health, love, and integrity.
We also believe in educating our families. We want you to be fully prepared for what it means to bring a Dachshund into your life. They’re a unique breed — clever, stubborn, full of personality, and fiercely loyal. We provide resources, tips, and support throughout the adoption process and long after. We want you to feel ready, supported, and excited for every stage of your puppy’s life, from those first few nights of snuggling to the years of companionship that follow.
For us, this isn’t a trend. It’s not a side hustle or a way to make a quick buck. This is who we are. This is what we love. And we consider it a privilege to raise these puppies and share them with the world. Our home may be filled with squeaky toys, blankets, and the occasional muddy paw print, but it’s also filled with joy, laughter, and a deep sense of purpose. Every bark, every cuddle, every goodbye is part of a bigger story — a story we feel honored to write, day by day, paw by paw.
If you’re here, reading this, it means you care too. And that means everything to us. Whether you’re just starting to think about adopting, or you’ve been searching for that perfect puppy for a while, we’re here to help you take the next step. We invite you to reach out, to ask questions, and to share your story with us. Because at Ivory Dachshund Home, it’s not just about placing puppies — it’s about making family.
And we can’t wait to welcome you into ours.
