Welcome to NMN Kennels, a trusted Beagle and Miniature Dachshund breeder in Iowa, located on a large farm just three miles north of Chariton. We are a state-licensed and inspected kennel and have been proudly breeding dogs since 2011.

At NMN Kennels, our focus is on raising healthy, well-socialized puppies with excellent temperaments. We are committed to responsible breeding practices, transparency, and lifelong support for every puppy we produce.

 

Our Breeding Philosophy

We believe a great puppy starts with strong foundations. Our breeding program emphasizes:

• Health-tested, quality parent dogs

• Excellent temperaments suited for family life

• Early socialization and hands-on care

• Matching each puppy with the right home and lifestyle

Our dogs are not just breeding dogs—they are beloved members of our family. When we are home, our dogs enjoy life on the farm, including swimming in ponds, exploring outdoors, and relaxing under shade trees. When we are away, they are safely housed in comfortable kennels in our dog barn.

 

 

About Our Dogs

Our AKC-registered Beagles are also genetically tested as part of our commitment to producing healthy puppies. Our Beagles come in a variety of sizes:

• Males: 13–15 inches tall, 20–27 pounds

• Females: 11–15 inches tall, 15–25 pounds

While we do not actively hunt our Beagles, they maintain strong natural instincts. Many of our Beagle puppies have gone on to excel in field trials, hunting homes, and as loving family pets. We breed for versatility, sound structure, and stable temperaments.

Miniature Dachshund Breeder in Iowa

Our Miniature Dachshunds are AKC and ACA registered and are all genetically tested. Our Dachshunds typically range from 8–13 pounds and include both longhaired and smooth coat varieties.

Our Dachshunds live in our home, and their puppies are raised indoors where they receive daily handling and early socialization. This home-raised environment helps produce confident, affectionate puppies that thrive as family companions.

Families looking for Miniature Dachshund puppies in Iowa can feel confident in our health-focused and hands-on approach.

 

Puppy Care, Socialization & Health

NMN Kennels is located on a fully operational farm, allowing our puppies to experience a wide range of sights, sounds, and environments. Puppies are exposed to cattle, horses, cats, other dogs, and farm machinery noises, helping them develop confidence and adaptability.

Our puppies remain with us until 8 weeks of age. Beginning around 3 weeks old, we introduce litter box potty training, which keeps puppies cleaner and helps make house training easier once they go to their new homes.

Each puppy receives:

• Deworming at 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age

• Microchipping prior to going home

• A full veterinary health exam at 8 weeks with a health certificate

• A puppy folder containing all health records and documentation

 

Contracts & Lifetime Commitment

All puppies are placed with approved homes under a signed contract. Our contract outlines:

• Spay and neuter requirements

• Health guarantees

• Our lifetime return policy

If for any reason a buyer can no longer keep their dog, NMN Kennels must be contacted first, regardless of the dog’s age. Our puppies are our responsibility for life, and we are committed to their safety and well-being.

 

Visitor Policy

To protect the health of our puppies, family, and dogs, we do not allow on-site visits. Young puppies are especially vulnerable to illnesses such as parvovirus, which can be unknowingly carried on clothing or shoes.

We are happy to offer FaceTime or video calls and can meet buyers in a public location for pickup. This policy helps ensure a safe, stress-free experience for everyone involved.
