What We Promise
Every Prestige Doxies puppy is bred, raised, and vetted with one goal: a long, healthy life with your family. These six commitments come standard with every puppy — no fine-print surprises.
Lifetime Health Guarantee
Every puppy is covered for life against serious congenital and hereditary conditions. If a licensed vet diagnoses one, you may return the puppy for a full refund or exchange.
Lifetime Genetic Coverage
Specific genetic disorders known in Dachshunds — like hip dysplasia and von Willebrand’s disease — are covered for life, verified by two licensed veterinarians.
7-Day Vet Check
Have your puppy examined by a licensed vet within 7 days of purchase to activate the guarantee, and keep a copy of the report for any claim.
Complete Health Records
Vaccination history, deworming treatments, and all other medical information come home with your puppy — nothing is hidden.
Care Instructions
Detailed guidance for diet, exercise, socialization, and vet checkups so your puppy stays healthy and happy from day one.
Ongoing Support
We stay in your corner for your dachshund’s whole life. If a health concern ever comes up, reach out and we will help.
Important: the guarantee activates only if a licensed veterinarian examines your puppy within 7 days of purchase. Keep a copy of that first vet report — it is the key document for any future claim.
Genetic Disorders Covered for Life
If any of the following hereditary conditions is confirmed by two licensed veterinarians at different clinics, we will provide a replacement puppy or a prorated refund:
Hip Dysplasia
The hip joint doesn’t seat properly in its socket, which can lead to arthritis and pain.
Elbow Dysplasia
A group of joint disorders causing elbow pain, instability, and mobility issues.
IVDD
Disc disease of the long dachshund spine — bulging or ruptured discs that can cause pain or nerve damage.
Progressive Retinal Atrophy
A degenerative eye disease that slowly reduces retinal function and can lead to blindness.
Von Willebrand’s Disease
A hereditary bleeding disorder that impairs normal blood clotting.
Patellar Luxation
The kneecap slips out of position — common in small breeds and painful when it occurs.
Cardiac Conditions
Hereditary heart conditions such as dilated cardiomyopathy or mitral valve disease.
Hypothyroidism
An underactive thyroid that can cause weight gain, lethargy, and coat problems.
How We Keep Genetic Issues Rare
A guarantee you never need to use is the best kind. Long before a litter is born, we work to breed the risk out:
- Comprehensive health screening Every breeding pair is evaluated for hips, elbows, eyes, and heart before we ever plan a litter.
- Genetic testing We test for von Willebrand’s, PRA, and other breed-specific disorders to identify carriers and never pair affected dogs.
- Careful pairing Pairs are chosen for health history, temperament, and genetic diversity — strong, healthy puppies are the goal.
- A healthy home environment Our dogs live clean, low-stress lives with proper nutrition and regular veterinary care.
- Early socialization Puppies are handled daily and exposed to new sights and sounds, growing into confident, well-adjusted dogs.
- Lineage tracking Detailed records across generations let us spot and avoid hereditary issues before they spread.
- Vet partnerships We work closely with veterinarians who know dachshunds inside and out.
- Ethical limits No overbreeding, ever — our mothers get full recovery time between litters, because welfare beats profit.
We have never had a puppy returned for a genetic defect — and we intend to keep it that way.
