I would join a miniature dachshund breed discussion forum and look for a NON-commercial breeder…Someone with one female looking for puppies.

If the owner of the female is reputable, she's going to require you get his eyes, hips, and knees certified by a good vet. That will cost you about $1,500.

I was approached under this circumstance by a breeder who wanted Tank to sire a liter. I was kind of into it until I found out was was involved with all the health certifications. I love my brotha Tank, but I'm not paying $1,500 so he can get laid.

…Plus, there's already too many big dogs going to shelters at the first sign of slobber. Maybe the abandonment isn't as bad with doxies.
