   I'm a small dachshund breeder in Central Pa.,I am not a kennel.  I prefer to raise my doxies right in my home. They are all part of our family. I specialize in long and smooth dachshunds. All our puppies go to their new homes prespoiled, up-to-date shots and dewormed. They will go to their new homes with a health certificate provided by my Vet. I send updates & photos to all new families every week , until our puppies to go to their new homes. Our puppies are all full Akc registered (unless notified in advance). They also come with a 5 generation pedigree, 1 year health guarantee, toys, blanket with mom's scent on it, bag of Royal Canin puppy food, puppy care guide, photo album of the puppy with photos taken weekly from birth & lots of information about your new bundle of joy. Our puppies go to their forever homes, at 8 weeks. Our puppies are all vet checked, bathed & their nails are trimmed prior to going home.                                                                                     

  I received my first Dachshund when I was 15 years old, and I fell in love with this wonderful breed. When it's said "dachshunds are addictive", It is sooo true!!!  They love to make you laugh, Snuggle up with you on a rainy or sunny day. Go on walks. Play ball. They love to give lots of kisses. They love to be near you, no matter what you are doing! No matter where I go in our home, they are there. Supervising to make sure I'm doing everything the right way, and/or just keep me company. You will never find a more devoted or faithful friend! One look into their beautiful eyes & you will fall in love! I could never imagine not sharing my life with these wonderful dogs. They'll make you fall in love instantly! Yes, I was been bitten by the Doxie Bug many years ago! 

                                   With the help of my husband and daughters, our puppies are all well socialized and ready for their forever homes. I feel that when they are born and raised  within a family, they are happier. Less likely to be stressed and startled by the happenings of regular family life, when they do go to their new forever homes. They are snuggled and spoiled from birth. They are started on potty pads as soon as they start walking.  Moms are never left alone to whelp, (which can make for some long nights). We are aways there to welcome every puppy into the world and to give mom all the love and support she needs. We photograph them & document their  time of birth, color, weight and length.  

 We always fall in love with every one of our puppies. They all have their own unique personality! We love watching them come into their own. They will always hold a special spot in our hearts. Before they are even born we fall in love. There is so much joy watching every one of them coming into the world. Watching them bond and learn from their mom. Being able to share the short time that we have with them, before they leave us to go to another loving family. Many of our  puppy's families send us updates and pictures throughout the puppy's life. This always makes my day, even brighter.  

If you do not see the puppy that you are looking for. Let me know. I will gladly refer you to a breeder that has the same standards and love for this breed, as I do.

The colors that may be available are..... reds, black/tans, creams, piebalds and dapples of many colors. We will never produce a double dapple.

So, What's Wrong with a Double Dapple?

For reasons unknown, the combination of two dapple genes hitting the same area of the dog can be lethal.  Double dapple puppies can be born with no eyes, and/or no ears.   Blindness and/or deafness is also caused by the double dapple gene.  On the other hand, a double dapple can be born with no deformities at all. There are no facts or figures available (that I have found) that tells us how many dogs like this dog have been whelped.  The double dapple pattern is an acceptable pattern that is recognized by AKC.  I feel that even one dog like this is not worth the risk of a million healthy dachshunds.

We do not sell or buy puppies from petshops, agents, resellers or puppymills! Please understand when we ask you screening questions.... it's to help us to eliminate these businesses! We want all our puppies to go to loving & caring families. This is very important to us.
