About Old Oak

Thoughtfully Raised Dachshund Puppies, From Our Family to Yours

Old Oak Dachshund Puppies is a small, family-run breeding program focused on health-conscious decisions, home-based care, early socialization, and clear communication.

We raise a limited number of litters so each puppy receives consistent handling, individual attention, and time to develop before joining a new family.

Our story

Built Around the Standards We Wanted to Find

We started as Dachshund owners and spent years learning about the breed’s temperament, structure, health concerns, and care needs. Searching for another puppy showed us how difficult it could be to find clear health information, complete records, and a breeder willing to answer direct questions.

Old Oak grew from that experience. We built the program around health testing, puppies raised inside our home, straightforward documentation, thoughtful family matching, and support after homecoming.

Families deserve time to ask questions and review the records that apply to a puppy. We share what we know and say when something remains uncertain.

What guides our program

A Thoughtful Beginning for Each Puppy

Our breeding plans, daily routines, and placement process follow three practical priorities.

Health-Conscious Planning

We screen breeding dogs for PRA-cord1 and NCL and complete OFA clearances for patellas, heart, and eyes before they enter our program. We also consider structure and teach families about healthy weight, safe handling, and IVDD risk reduction.

Raised in Our Home

Puppies grow up around household sounds, people, handling, different surfaces, rest periods, and the routines they will meet in family life.

Support After Homecoming

Families can contact us for guidance on training, nutrition, healthy weight, everyday care, and reducing avoidable strain on a Dachshund’s back.

The first weeks

Purposeful Care and Early Socialization

We balance sleep, gentle handling, age-appropriate learning, and gradual exposure to normal home life.

Early Development

We use the Puppy Culture framework as a guide. Puppies receive brief Early Neurological Stimulation exercises from days 3 to 16.

Home Experiences

From weeks 3 to 8, puppies meet household sounds, floor surfaces, crate familiarity, visitors, gentle care, and basic potty-training routines. They also receive predictable meals, rest, and short periods of age-appropriate activity.

Health Records

Each profile lists current vaccinations, registration, availability, and health-guarantee information. Families may request the applicable parent health records before placing a deposit. The written guarantee explains coverage, exclusions, and buyer responsibilities.

Finding the right fit

More Than Choosing a Puppy From a Photo

We ask about your schedule, children, other pets, stairs, travel, training plans, and the time a puppy may spend alone. Those details help us assess whether a Dachshund fits your household and which available puppy may suit it. Coat color and sex can guide a preference, but daily routines and long-term care determine the practical match.

We share current observations about each puppy’s confidence, handling, energy, and routines. Temperament continues to develop, so we do not promise a fixed adult personality or an exact adult size.

Clear expectations

Responsible Placement at Old Oak

Families should understand how a puppy has been raised, which records apply, and what Old Oak expects before and after placement.

Placement Standards

  • We place puppies at eight weeks of age or later.
  • We do not sell to pet stores, brokers, or resellers.
  • We do not ship puppies in cargo.
  • We speak with each prospective family before placement.

Accountability and Support

Our state Department of Agriculture licenses our program and inspects it each year. Prospective families may request current licensing and inspection information.

If you can no longer keep a dog we bred, contact us. We will take the dog back at any age so it has a safe place to return.
