We are breeders of miniature dachshunds. We bought our first dachshund in 1978, whose color was black and tan.

This dog was a female standard dachshund and was a great dog. We bought a male standard dachshund and raised a few litters.

After these dachshunds, we bought our first minature dachshund. Today we have three female and two male miniature dachshunds.

This means we do not have puppies to sell all the time. If you would like to be put on a waiting list please Email Us.

Our dachshunds live in the house with us and are a part of the family. They are very loyal dogs. If we go down stairs we have line of

dachshunds following us. If we are busy they lay on the floor right beside us. When we go upstairs and sit in our easy chair all the

little dachshunds are right there wanting in our lap.

What ever you do don"t spoil you dachshunds

you can see we don't.

Goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet

The word Dachshund, meaning "badger dog" in German, dachshunds are a lively breed with a friendly personality

and keen sense of smell. Dachshunds are known for their long and low bodies, they are eager hunters

that excel in both above- and below-ground work. Dachshunds are one of the most popular

breeds according to AKC® Registration Statistics, they come in three different coat varieties

(Smooth, Wirehaired or Longhaired) and can be miniature or standard size.

A Look Back

Dachshunds were first bred in the early 1600s in Germany. The goal was to create a fearless,

elongated dog that could dig the earth from a badger burrow and fight to the death with

the vicious badgers. The dachshund breed became popular in the U.S. during the early 1900’s, but fell out of favor

during World War I. After the war, a few U.S. breeders slowly rebuilt the gene pool by importing German stock,

and the breed began to increase in popularity again.

Right Breed for You?

Dachshunds are lovable, playful companions, and an ideal pet for many homes, including those with children with

appropriate supervision. They require moderate exercise, and can adapt to most living environments.

Depending on their coat type, Dachshunds may need regular grooming. If you are considering

purchasing a Dachshund puppy, it is probably a good idea.

I am a Breeder.....

My food receipts for a family of 4 and my dog food bills match

My water bill has doubled My electricity bill has tripled

It is I, a breeder, who when my fridge quit, saved the dog meds and

let the food go bad. My feet find the way to the kennel before I have

even grabbed a cup of coffee in the morning and the kennel is my last stop before bed.

While my friends are on a cruise to the Bahamas and my family meets

for Christmas I am home delivering puppies.

I haven't had a real vacation in 7 years, but maybe soon. All plans

are made around heat dates, whelp dates and vet dates.

I shower and 10 minutes later my grand kids say I smell like a dog.

My clothes are all stained with fecal matter, urine, afterbirth or

bleach I have to remember to clean my shoes before I go to Wal-Mart

Most of my friends breed dogs who else can you call at 3 am for support?

Who else has the experience I sometimes need, the med I sometimes

need, or just an uplifting word I sometimes need ? Who else would

understand how it feels to have invested hours and hours and hours

in a weak puppy to lose it? Or the joy in investing hours in one that lives?

I have slept on the floor beside a litter until the crucial 2 weeks

have passed. I have bottle fed a litter of 12..feeding every 2 hours

and it taking 90 minutes to do for weeks at a time.

I have learned to be proficient at micro chipping, vaccinations,

sub q fluids, bottle feeding and tube feeding.

my vet knows me by first name the vet knows my children

the vet now knows my grand children my vet knows it was I who added on the wing to the vet clinic

I am a breeder

It is to me that 63 days takes on new meaning still excited by every

new life it is I who delivers all my pups, towels and heat lamps on

ready happiness and sadness sometimes intermingled

Even though it increases my work load, I look forward to the 10 day

stage when eyes open, and puppies begin to emerge from the

helplessness of newborns. Puppy breath, a first bark, and a heart of exploration.

I am a conscientious lover of animals and I have found my niche.

I am a breeder.

And although I feel no shame there is a part of me that feels the

need to hide from powers that could come to invade my home and take

my dogs ...maybe for finding a mild infraction, a leaf in the water

dish? A kennel not yet cleaned for the day?

A rash I am home treating? I tell my children and grand children to

hush, do not tell others we are dog breeders, and I wonder when did

breeding puppies go into the same secret place as criminal activity?

I am a breeder and I am not cruel, dumb, uncaring or criminal. I am

not racking in money while sitting on my butt. Every penny I make I

earn through blood, sweat and tears.

My greatest joy is a healthy puppy and a wonderful home.

The cards of thanks and the pictures of

my puppy with its new family is the fringe benefits of my efforts.

I am an animal lover, nurse, midwife, heavy laborer, customer service.

representative, and marketer. AND I am a breeder.
