When can I take my new Dachshund puppy home?
At Country Style Dachshunds, we take great pride in the socialisation of our puppies. We adhere to the industry standard of 8 weeks of age for pick up, but we also recognise that each puppy has its own unique development trajectory. To ensure the well-being of each animal, we evaluate each puppy individually to determine if they are ready to leave us at 8, 9 or 10 weeks of age. Our goal is to produce well-balanced and content puppies that are prepared for their new homes. We believe that this approach sets our business apart and provides our clients with the highest quality of service.
