Welcome to Dachshunds and Dogs
Dachshunds have been my pets off
and on since I was six. I'm not going to tell how long ago
that was but a stamp cost three cents. Since then Dachshunds have
been the main love for me. The Dachshunds I had as a kid were
standard Dachshunds. Now I have been breeding miniature
dachshunds for a few years. Dachshunds are loyal, intelligent,
inquisitive, dramatic, lively, affectionate, greedy, stubborn,
energetic and humorous little bundles of personality. Dachshunds
come in a wide range of colors and patterns. Dachshunds are
unique little dogs, thus the reason so many want to own them.
From time to time we will have liters of pups that will be home
raised and socialized. Most of these pups will be sold as pet
dachshunds with limited AKC registration.
When I started researching dogs in preparation to start
breeding. I found that the information I needed was located all
over the place. Some of the information requires some work to get
to. So as I search it out I decided to included the most useful
of it in my web site ( So I know where to go when I need to find
it.)
