Buying an affordable dachshund puppy without AKC papers? What to check?

Question

Hello! I am a nursing student looking to buy a new puppy. I have found a miniature long haired dachshund. However, it is not AKC registered. I am on a budget and have found an affordable dachshund with APRI certification. I understand that this means the dog isn't a pure breed. My question is if there are any things i should look out for when i go see her? Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Female | 1 month and 5 days old

Yes, there are things that you should look out for when you go to see this puppy. I've linked websites with questions to ask, and warning signs for puppy mills: http://www.buyingapuppy.com/index5.html http://www.buyingapuppy.com/index4.html
