FAQ’s

Are all of your dogs CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) Registered?

Yes! Pedigrees are available upon request.

Should I get a male or a female puppy?

A dachshund is a dachshund. The breed has specific traits that will be displayed by both dogs especially when they are pets and will be spayed or neutered. Some people say they want a female only because only females are affectionate, but that’s actually very untrue. Males are typically much more affectionate and they thrive on attention from their owner. Females are affectionate as well, but they tend to be more independent. This can be a benefit for some families, but some people want a dog to completely dote on them. A male is your pick if you want your puppy to be completely obsessed with you. A female will be most likely to come to their owner on the couch when she wants attention, but will move away when she has had enough and go chew on a bone. A male would be more likely to stay right next to you and never get enough. The choice is yours! But always remember that we breed for great temperament, and a dachshund is a dachshund. So either choice will be a good one, do not get too hung up on the sex of the dog.

Do you require a deposit?

We require a deposit to hold a puppy, yes. The deposit is 25% of the total of the puppy’s price. We will not hold a puppy without a deposit placed.

Can I place a deposit to have first priority on an upcoming litter?

Yes. If we have availability for upcoming litters, we can accept a deposit. We have a contract to protect both you and us that we require to be signed before accepting any deposit. Your deposit would remain on file for a future puppy from us and we will try our best to match you with what you prefer, but it cannot be guaranteed.

Do you only breed cream in longhaired dachshunds?

Yes! But this doesn’t mean that all of our puppies are clear cream with no pattern. We breed cream instead of red. We will produce puppies that are dapple cream, piebald cream, black and cream ect…!

Do you ever breed Dilute colors, like Isabella, Fawn or Blue?

No, we do not. We have our dogs tested by Embark, and that test will show if our dogs have any dilute. We specifically avoid dilute colors and we do not support the breeding of those colors. Put simply, it is too risky to breed and produce dogs with those colors. Very often, dilute dachshunds have health and skin issues. CDA (color dilution alopecia) is a common disease that these dogs will suffer from.

What do you feed your dogs?

We feed Royal Canin Pro Small Adult kibble. We recommend this feed to our clients for their puppies once they get to their adult stage. It is specifically formulated for small breeds to support their energy needs, short and rapid growth period and finicky appetites. I have tried many different feeds, this one the dogs never turn down, put simply they love this food. My dogs all have great weights and balanced energy on this feed.

Do you recommend adding anything to your dog's kibble?

Yes, we always hydrate their feed with either water, organic bone broth or goat’s milk. Hydration is so important for dogs. We live on a small farm, so we give our dogs things like fresh chicken eggs, quail eggs, rabbit meat, blueberries and other produce as either treats or additives to their food a few times a week.
