Frequently Asked
Questions

The most frequently asked question is "how long is your wait list"? Effective April 17, 2025, note that although the wait list system worked extremely well for many years, it is no longer efficient use of my time due to lack of response to inquiries which cause delays in placing my puppies. Puppies will be published here on my website and on my Facebook page (My Little Dachshund Heaven) and then scheduled first contacted, first allowed to choose from available puppies. Puppy Applications will still be required.

FAQs Related to the Wait List

Am I guaranteed to get a puppy once I completed the application?

The breeder reserves the right to refuse sale for any reason throughout the process. This has only happened one time in all my years and I hope it never happens again.

Can I update the information I put on my puppy Application?

I periodically send out a survey using your current email address to ascertain your readiness and what you are looking for (I know people change their minds frequently). It is important to note that if you are flexible in color, coat, or sex, it is best to include this information in the survey and/or application as I use this information to begin schedule. Failure to respond to the survey in the specified timeframe (usually 5-7 days) may result in you being removed from the active wait list unless otherwise stated in the survey email or survey itself. If you ever wish to update any information please send an email to lizd@mydoxieheaven.com.

Are there any other deposits required during this process?

Once a particular puppy is produced and you select that puppy you will be required to pay an additional $400 to hold the puppy until he/she is old enough to leave me and their mom.

Do you require a Sales Agreement?

All puppies are sold with a Sales Agreement which ensures my puppies are taken care of, receive proper care, do not end up in a rescue/SPCA environment, and are not bred without proper authority. You can click the link to walk through the sales agreement to review its components, however, please do not submit the Sales Agreement until you have actually selected a puppy. This sales agreement includes information on my food and supplement requirements which I am not willing to compromise on. So, if you do not agree to follow this regimen, I am not the breeder for you, and please go find one that is willing to compromise their puppies' health with a lesser nutritional plan. I've spent many years researching pet nutrition and getting certified in the same so I can provide the best for my dogs and educate my new puppy families in this area as well. It was an area I struggled in for many years because it is so confusing and many pet food manufacturers do misleading advertising to only add to that confusion.

Do you refund deposits if I change my mind?

All deposits are non-refundable unless there is a health reason with one of the puppies prior to puppy pick-up in which the new buyer elects to not take the puppy.
