(Please Note, I do not ever have puppies available unless stated on this website. Please consider looking for another breeder if you are in a hurry to adopt and not willing to wait up to 18 months. We plan our adoption well in advance and have families in reservations, with a $300 deposit, ready to adopt before we let a breeding take place.)
These questions are used as a guideline to help us place the right puppy in the right homes and ensure the best quality of life for both the family and each DeLorenzo Dachshund Puppy/Dog. (Due to the fact that we make sure our puppies go to the right homes, we reserve the right at DeLorenzo Dachshunds to decide who can adopt one of our puppies. We can choose to close a reservation and refund deposit at any time before adoption.)
