Q. & A. with Cierra
Why did you start breeding?
Dachshunds has always been a part of my heart since I was a little girl. I ride horses and all I would see at barrel races was Dachshunds. I knew when I grew up I would own a lot of Dachshund. I have 6 now and my goal is 8-10 lol.
What makes your program special?
We pride ourselves in offering forever little family members that blend easily into your family. The dogs we have purchased from previous breeders have always had something missing. Whether it be difficulties in house training or socialization, it apways seemed like it could be better. Our program provides plenty of socialization and potty training techniques that allow the new owner to adapt quickly and add the final touches. This allows time to enjoy the puppy stage in peace without having to worry about them.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include smooth, longhaired, and wirehaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include piebald, cream, red, chocolate and tan, chocolate and cream, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
