Family‑Raised Mini & Standard Dachshund Puppies

I’m Chuck Goering, founder and owner of Dachshunds Up North. Alongside my dedicated team just outside Bigfork, MN, we’re committed to raising healthy, happy Dachshund puppies with exceptional care and expertise.

We’re a family‑run Dachshund breeder just outside Bigfork, MN, specializing in longhaired, smooth‑coated, and wirehaired miniature and standard Dachshund puppies for sale. In 2022, we expanded our program with a trio of Cairn Terrier litters. Our pups enjoy a life of luxury—daily snuggles on our laps, cozy naps in our bed—and benefit from comprehensive genetic health screening (OFA‑certified) to ensure strong, laid‑back temperaments. Each puppy leaves us vet‑checked, microchipped, dewormed, and current on core vaccines.

Dachshunds Up North made bringing our new pup home to Oregon a breeze—she arrived happy, healthy, and ready to cuddle. Highly recommend!

Milo (formerly Boo) is doing so good (day two) and is such a smart boy. He is so playful and curious! He has been eating and potty training so great! It’s such a testament to the work Gwen and Chuck have put into the pups. He did great overnight and is doing awesome with new sounds around the house, which I was nervous about. But they have socialized him so well! I am so shocked and amazed at how good he is doing! Both Chuck and Gwen have been so helpful throughout this whole process. We officially reserved him in August and once he was born, we got weekly pup-dates and were kept in communication the whole way through. They answered all my questions (and I had a lot 😅) which I am so thankful for! They truly love these pups and have the answer to any questions little or big. I have still kept in touch since we picked him up with questions and I appreciate that they take the time even now that he is home with us. Thank you times a million to Chuck and Gwen for the best bundle of joy!!!!🥹

We got our Cookie from DUN. She took a couple of weeks to settle with our other dogs. Now they sleep together. Love that they socialize the pups, both with other pups and family. They are amazing! I recommend everyone wanting a dog check them out.

We have a black and tan, long hair, miniature dachshund from Dachshunds Up North. When I was told there was a four yo available I said “No more dogs!” We had three already. My husband insisted, so I offered a compromise. We would take the dog for a week and if it got along with our other dogs, it could stay. Well, they all got along. Now we all love each other. These guys are the best breeders. She was very socialized and lovable. We got all of her bedding all of her toys and the food and vitamin she had been taking. She was treated as a pet as well as being bred. The dogs are very well taken care of, pedigree, and just beautifully socialized. I would highly recommend their dogs, both Dachshund and Cairn Terriers, to anybody who is looking.

Happy Dachshund Owner Testimonials

Hear directly from families who’ve welcomed our Dachshund puppies into their homes.

Dachshunds Up North was wonderful to work with! They were super responsive throughout the process, and the love and attention they gave Jarvis prior to adoption are very evident. He is doing so well getting into a routine, is such a happy boy, and he is so, so smart! I could not be happier with him; he is an angel from heaven.

We can’t say enough about Dachshunds Up North. This has been the absolute best experience in getting a new puppy… from the 1st moment I contacted them delivering our little buddy to us. Dachshunds up North has answered any questions I have had and been very prompt in doing so. We love our little moose and are so grateful to be apart of the Dachshunds Up North family!!! Thank you so much!!!

Everyone is extremely helpful from the start. They respond very quickly to any message. We are extremely satisfied with our experience. We are so in love with our two little babies and they are settling into their new home very well. Our two little girls are the sweetest and we love them both so much!

Great experience getting “Jackie” for my parents. I flew in to Minneapolis and met the breeders employee at the airport, to make the exchange. Very smooth. She’s a very happy and healthy vivacious little lady, and my parents are thrilled to have her. Thanks Chuck!
