I sure hope you know you wouldn't be able to see them at that age, and they aren't available for adoption until they are 8-12 weeks old.
I would suggest looking for a local breeder, not a petstore....petstores have a rather bad reputation when it comes to dogs they sell, due to the fact they are usually from unlicensed breeders and have high risk of health problems that may be unnoticeable until later in life.
Check to see if you have any dachshund rescues near you, too, maybe settle for a dachshund that isn't the youngest they come, but still in need of a good home.

1st - NEVER buy from Pet Stores, for above reasons, or they buy from local back yard breeders and jack up the prices so you still get a unhealthy dog AND you get taken...

2nd - I'm not sure if you want to purchase the pup that young, or are just wanting to find one that age because you can afford it when it's old enough to leave.. But puppies HAVE to stay with their mothers till at least 7 weeks, some breeders like to wait longer.

3rd, if that's all you can afford, I suggest looking at rescues. You can get a lovely little doxie, already spayed, housebroken, etc. For that price or cheaper!!

You cannot get a dog under 8 weeks, I believe it illegal. They still need to nurse from their mother.

Pet stores are responsible for the torture of many puppy mill dogs. When you buy a dog there, you are buying her mother into a horrible life in a tiny cage.

I just bought 2 miniature Dachsunds in december. I researched breeders for months before I bought them from a breeder in louisiana (she will ship them to you). And it was way less expensive than a pet store looking to rip you off. They were $450 each. the website is:

Her name is Sandy and she only breeds from showdogs, so they are super healthy and have great temperaments. She had great references from every dachshund clubbed I asked.

I got 2 healthy, well behaved, almost show quality dogs who I love to death!

never ever buy a dog from a pet store you are supporting puppy mills where dogs spend their whole lives cageded up and pruducing puppies. You will get a unhealthy dog that will be at the vets all the time for problems
