At NT Mini Doxies, everything we do is rooted in care — from selective pairings and responsible waitlists to early socialization and lifelong support. We don’t just raise mini dachshunds; we raise cherished family members. My mission is to change the narrative around small-breed breeding by leading with transparency, compassion, and a deep respect for both our dogs and the families who welcome them home.
I believed families deserved more than just a puppy — they deserved a healthy, happy companion raised with love, purpose, and ethics.
HAVING SEEN FIRSTHAND THE ISSUES IN TODAY'S BREEDING WORLD—OVERBREEDING, POOR CONDITIONS, AND A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY—I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE A BETTER WAY.
Hi, I’m Nina—the heart behind NT Mini Doxies.
I grew up in a home where dog breeding was simply part of life, and from an early age, I developed a deep love for animals—especially the long-haired mini dachshund.
My first girl, Coco, stole my heart and followed me everywhere. After she passed, I found Bonnie and Clyde—two very special dogs who became the foundation of my breeding program. What started as love became a legacy.
At NT Mini Doxies, I’m passionate about raising well-socialized, genetically health-tested, quality dachshund puppies. Each one is raised right here in my home and handled daily to ensure they grow into confident, happy companions ready to thrive in their forever homes.
But it's not just about the strategies - it's about the mindset. We'll go beyond the surface level, addressing the limiting beliefs and self-doubt that can hold you back. I'll help you cultivate a mindset of abundance, resilience, and confidence, empowering you to overcome obstacles and seize opportunities.

To raise happy, healthy, top-quality mini dachshunds and match them with families who will love them for life. My goal is always to improve the breed and create joyful, lasting connections between people and their pets.
What is your mission?
The moment families come to meet their puppies—seeing the smiles, the happy tears, the joy—that’s what makes it all worth it. Knowing these little ones are going to such loving homes is truly the best feeling in the world.
What brings you the most joy in what you do?
At NT Mini Doxies, we’re committed to bettering the breed. That means starting with healthy, genetically tested parents and focusing on temperament, structure, and longevity. I want every puppy to grow up as a happy, healthy member of the family—for many years to come.
Why is ethical breeding important to you?
They’re just the perfect little companions—loving, cuddly, loyal, and full of spunky personality. I love that they’re small enough to go anywhere with you, but still have big hearts and big presence.
Why mini dachshunds?
I grew up in a home where my parents bred dogs, so the love for animals runs deep in my roots. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for long-haired dachshunds

Once I have a confirmed puppy that matches your request and the litter is one week old, I’ll ask for the second $100 deposit. You’ll have 48 hours to respond and pay the second half before I move to the next person on the list.
The total $200 deposit (non-refundable) goes toward the final cost of your puppy.
When is the second deposit due?
This helps ensure that only serious families are added to the list and avoids overwhelming interest. The deposit is only refundable if something happens on my end—like if a puppy doesn't thrive or I cannot fulfill your request.
Why is the deposit non-refundable?
Once you’ve placed your deposit and shared your desired color and sex, I’ll provide a time estimate on when I might be able to produce a puppy that fits your preferences.
What happens after I join the list?
To reserve your spot, I require a $100 non-refundable deposit to join a waitlist for a specific pairing. I only take 5 people per pairing, so spots are limited.
How do I get on the waitlist for a puppy?
