What are the most important things you look for in a family or home environment for your puppies?

We seek loving, caring, affectionate, and stable homes. Potential owners should be knowledgeable and prepared to accommodate the unexpected in life, ensuring a secure and nurturing environment for our dachshunds.

What important advice or information do you want potential puppy owners to know or consider before they even start the adoption process?

Ensure you do your research to have a clear idea of what this breed needs, its limits, and the expectations for a quality life. Miniature dachshunds thrive in specific environments and benefit from owners who understand their unique characteristics.

Beyond finding a forever home, what makes the CLOUDKNINE Dachshunds adoption experience unique or special for both you and the new owners?

Our puppies are a part of our program from their first breath to their last. We provide a lifetime of support to the adopted animal throughout its entire life, fostering a continuous relationship with our CLOUDKNINE families.
