I'm Paddi M., the breeder behind Celtic Dachshund Farm located in Chapman, NE. We are a small family-owned breeding program that strives to protect and promote the quality of the breed.
Q. & A. with Paddi
Why did you start breeding?
I was raised with my parents showing and breeding black and tan Coonhounds. It was almost a right of passage!
What makes your program special?
We promote our breed. We refuse to allow puppies to go to homes that are not pre-approved. We do background checks as well. These are not just our dogs these are our family!
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 colors in your program?
Our puppies are red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
