I'm the breeder behind Dachshunds Up North located in Bigfork, MN. We are a small Family Breeder of Long Hair, Smooth, and Wire Dachshunds. In 2022, we have added a trio of Cairn Terriers. Our dogs live a life of luxury. We strive to breed puppies with a laid-back personality and Disposition, and do everything on our power to set our pups up for a life of health and happiness with their forever familes.

What makes Chuck’s program special
Our dogs live in our home and are very socialized and loved on! We also are a firm believer in a daily wafer to each of our dogs of Nuvet. Here is a link for you and if link is followed we can track who and how often our puppy's get Nuvet. As long as they get it daily and you follow our recommendations on spay/neutering, we extend our warranty from 1 year to 3 years. That is how much faith we have in Nuvet. https://1drv.ms/w/s!AuiPAtYdpyGCgZILN1u2_9DR2j3T9A?e=g3Lebv
Chuck has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $1,200 - $2,500 and include a non-refundable deposit of $200.
“The price includes, Vet health check, First three sets of shots, Microchip, Lifetime Support from us, our Health Guarantee, 30 days prepaid pet insurance through Trupanion and a New Family gift bag. We also must add MN sales tax to the price of your puppy. PLEASE Remember until your deposit is in our accounts your pick of a puppy is NOT reserved. Deposit is 200.00, Non refundable, for their puppy. When the litter is born and there is not a puppy of your liking the deposit may be transferred to any available puppy or upcoming litters. This is best way to get a puppy from a litter. We will only take 4 deposits for each litter. We have never done this before but we are getting so many applications daily That this will eliminate people not following through and making people that really do want a new baby not have to wait and wonder if they will get a puppy. Only reason a deposit paid family would not get a puppy is if they choose to wait. For such reasons as wrong color, all boys and they wanted a girl. or 1 boy 3 girls and a person wanting a boy that was ahead of that person. We will go by deposit paid and date of application. At 2-3 days after birth we will sent or post pictures of the litter. Family with 1st pick will make their pick. Then family two will be notified, and they will make their pick, and so on. Once notified you have 3 days yo make your pick. If not your spot is given to next inline and you go to last spot. If no reply with in 2 weeks you loose your spot on the litter completely. If it happen twice then you will forfeit your deposit.”
Chuck may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Chuck offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Chuck directly.
