Responsible breeders are becoming more difficult to search out among scammers, mills, and backyard breeders. It was once easy to find a well-bred purebred dog that came from a reputable breeder, but in today’s electronic age, scammers are constantly evolving and mimicking the websites of ethical, responsible breeders.
There are ways to determine if someone is legit or if they are a scammer. You must do your due diligence and not let your heart (or pocketbook) rule your head.
If something appears to be too good to be true, the price seems a bit too low, or the person is a little too accommodating, chances are you need to run, not walk, as fast and as far as you can from that situation.
Thankfully, DachWorld has created a list to help you determine how to spot a reputable breeder and has gone one step further in searching out breeders who appear to be real and responsible.
We do not promote mixed breeds, even though we understand that accidents happen and that sometimes mixed-breed puppies are born. But breeding mixes or designer breeds is not something we want to promote, there are already enough mixed-breed dogs in shelters and rescues.
Keep reading to discover which Dachshund breeders in Mississippi are the most promising to find your next Dachshund puppy.

My Top Pick
Finding a responsible Dachsie breeder in Massachusetts may seem like a needle in a haystack, but there are still good breeders nearby, you just need to know where to look and be patient.
Reputable breeders will not always have puppies available and some may even have long wait lists. Do not get into a hurry and make an impulse buy, puppies are a commitment that lasts for 12-18 years.
Reputable breeders are becoming harder to find, so take the time to research, ask questions, and be prepared to answer questions. Breeders who truly care will expect to get to know you and your family before they are comfortable placing a puppy with you.
The main thing is to always speak with your breeder personally, whether it is over the phone or on FaceTime, or some other app to ensure they are a real person. Some breeders are old-school still and do not use apps, but they are always willing to speak with you on the phone and send photos and videos of the puppies for you.
