CLARK'S BREEDING PROGRAM

The Biography of Clark's Rigger Clark’s Rigger, born July 7, 2021, is a core sire in the breeding program. A Miniature Long-Haired Dachshund of remarkable quality, he is recognized for his striking red coat, his specialized genetic profile, and a pedigree that connects directly to the breed’s most prestigious foundations. Physical Characteristics and Signature Crest Rigger is defined by his vibrant red coat, which follows the classic breed standard for long-haired varieties with its straight, silky texture and elegant fringing. While he shares the rare "crest" genetics found in the program, he possesses a distinct physical marker: • The Single Chest Crest: Rigger displays a signature vertical ridge of hair along his chest. This singular crest serves as a unique identifier and a point of comparison to Ollie’s multi-point profile, assisting in the program’s goal of tracking how these hereditary traits are passed to future generations. Comprehensive Genetic Profile Rigger’s status as a stud is supported by detailed DNA profiling and health screenings finalized between 2021 and 2026. His genetic makeup provides critical predictability for the program’s future litters: • A Locus (Agouti): ay/at (Sable/Tan points). • E Locus (Extension): E/e (Carries recessive red/cream). • K Locus (Dominant Black): ky/ky (Non-brindle, allows for expression of the A locus). • B Locus (Brown): B/B (Does not carry chocolate; produces black-based pigment). • D Locus (Dilute): D/D (No dilution). • I Locus (Intensity): I/i (Carries the intensity marker for shaded coat depth). • M Locus (Merle): m/m (Non-merle/Non-dapple). • S Locus (White Spotting): S/sp (Carries the piebald gene). • Health Markers: He is officially Clear/Normal for Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA-CORD1-CRD4). This clear status is a vital asset, guaranteeing that he cannot pass this specific form of hereditary blindness to his puppies. • Official Certification: His genetic identity is verified through an AKC DNA Profile (V40018240), and he is fully registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC), Continental Kennel Club (CKC), and United Kennel Club (UKC). Distinguished Ancestry and Lineage Rigger’s pedigree is a high-profile blend of British and Canadian champion lines, specifically selected to reinforce structural soundness and breed "type." • Paccanni and Teckelwood: Rigger shares a foundational heritage with Ollie, anchored by the Paccanni and Teckelwood lines. The Paccanni influence brings the refinement of top-tier international champions, while the Teckelwood lineage is famed for its Register of Merit Excellent (ROMX) producers. These ancestors are celebrated for consistently producing offspring with superior conformation, including proper "laid-back" shoulder assemblies and level toplines. • Historical Foundation Kennels: Rigger’s deeper five-generation pedigree includes several influential names that have shaped the modern Miniature Long-Haired variety: o Knights and Wynona: These lines are historically significant for maintaining the elegant proportions and calm temperaments desired in the breed. o Lookout Mts and Dashndoxies: Specialized kennels known for their dedication to preserving the functional beauty of the dachshund. • The Boondox Influence: Through his ancestral network, Rigger benefits from the legendary Boondox bloodlines. This includes the influence of Boondox Panama Jack, the all-time top-producing longhaired sire, whose genetic legacy of style and balance is felt throughout the most successful modern dachshund programs.

The Biography of Clark’s Diamond Clark’s Diamond is a central figure in the breeding program, a Mahogany Red Dapple Miniature Longhaired Dachshund born on June 29, 2021. As the daughter of foundational dam Clark’s Precious and sire King’s Teddy Bear, Diamond represents a carefully planned bridge between the program's elite historic bloodlines and its future. Physical Characteristics and Breed Hallmarks Diamond is a striking representative of the mahogany or rich deep red coat color. Her physical profile includes several unique and desirable breed traits: • The Chest Crest: Like her mother, Diamond possesses a distinct chest crest, a hereditary ridge of hair that is a focal point of the program's tracking of the Huntersbroad line. • Dapple Patterning: She displays a vibrant red dapple pattern, which she inherited from her father, King's Teddy Bear. • Distinct Markings: Her deep red coat is accented by dark "eyeliner" and "lipstick" markings, which are particularly prominent due to her rich mahogany base. • Coat Texture: Her hair is long but not overly thick, featuring elegant waves and a tail where the hair characteristically curls around the bone. Comprehensive Genetic Profile Diamond’s genetic standing is backed by verified DNA testing (AKC DNA V40018239) to ensure the integrity of her litters: • A Locus (Agouti): Ay/at (Sable/Tan points). • E Locus (Extension): E/E (Dominant black/red extension; does not carry recessive cream). • K Locus (Dominant Black): ky/ky (Non-brindle; allows for the full expression of her A locus patterns). • B Locus (Brown): B/b or b/b (Carries or expresses chocolate pigmentation). • D Locus (Dilute): D/d (Carries the dilution gene). • I Locus (Intensity): I/i (Carries the intensity marker for coat depth). • M Locus (Merle): Mh269 (Harlequin/Dapple). She inherited this specific marker from her father. • S Locus (White Spotting): S/sp (Carries the piebald gene, though she carries a gene that prevents visible white spotting in her own coat). • Health Status: She is confirmed PRA Clear (Progressive Retinal Atrophy), maintaining the high health standards of the program. Elite Ancestry and Lineage Diamond’s pedigree is a fusion of prestigious foundation lines, notably the Parracino and Teckelwood kennels, which are celebrated for their structural excellence. • Sire Side (King’s Teddy Bear): Her paternal lineage brings in established names such as WAK, Conness, Sadie, and Wheelers in the 4th generation. The 5th generation includes specialized lines like Ratzlaffs, Sartinly, Collindox, HvH, and Slinkers. Deeper heritage showcases legendary producers such as SAJs, Ra Das, Dragonkeep, and CH Wastel. • Dam Side (Clark’s Precious): Her maternal lineage features a "hall of fame" of historic kennels that extend back more than five generations, including CH Woodhealth, CH Hickory Hill, CH Foxfyre, and CH Add Sims. Precious’s line is specifically noted for being free of Parracinos influence, providing a valuable genetic outcross. Legacy and Future Role Diamond is a premier protégé in the program, carrying forward the specific conformational traits of her ancestors, such as refined necksets and level toplines. She was recently bred to Mr. Ollie Man for a highly anticipated June 2026 litter, continuing her legacy as a cornerstone dame of the program.

The Biography of Mr. Ollie Man Mr. Ollie Man, often called Ollie, is a foundational stud and a central figure in the breeding program. As a Miniature Longhaired Dachshund, he is celebrated for his rare physical traits, a prestigious multi-generational pedigree, and a robust genetic health profile that ensures the quality of his offspring. Physical Characteristics and the Huntersbroad Crest Ollie is a primary carrier of the rare "Huntersbroad Crest," a hereditary hair ridge often considered a hallmark of excellence in elite Dachshund lines. His distinctive physical profile is defined by a five-point crest system: • Nose Zipper: A clear ridge of hair running along the bridge of his snout. • Ear Swirls: Unique hair rotations located behind both ears. • Chest Seam: A signature vertical ridge of hair along his chest. • Symmetrical Hindquarters: Symmetrical hair swirls that separate at the hindquarters near the tail. Ollie features a rich chocolate-based red coat with straight hair. He displays characteristic cream-colored shading behind his legs and ears, giving him a refined and striking appearance. Comprehensive Genetic Profile Ollie has undergone extensive DNA and health testing to provide a transparent and scientific look at his breeding potential. His genetic markers as of 2026 include: • A Locus (Agouti): Ay at (Sable/Tan points). • E Locus (Extension): e e (Recessive red/cream). • K Locus (Dominant Black): ky ky (Allows for the expression of the A locus, non-brindle). • B Locus (Brown): B b (Carries the chocolate gene). • D Locus (Dilute): D D (No dilution). • I Locus (Intensity): I i (Carries the intensity marker for shaded coat depth). • M Locus (Merle): m m (Non-merle). • S Locus (White Spotting): S sp (Carries the piebald gene). • Health Results: Ollie is confirmed PRA Clear (Progressive Retinal Atrophy). He has tested positive for the IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease) marker, a common genetic finding in the breed that informs careful, health-conscious pairing strategies. Elite Ancestry and Kennel Heritage Ollie’s pedigree is a synthesis of high-profile kennels that have defined the dachshund breed across North America and Europe. His lineage includes a concentration of champion bloodlines known for their structural soundness and "Fixed Pigment"—a trait where puppies are born with their permanent dark markings. • Teckelwood and Paccanni: These are the primary foundations of Ollie’s pedigree. The Teckelwood line is famous for producing Register of Merit Excellent (ROMX) producers, a title reserved for dogs that sire a superior number of champions. Paccanni influence brings the elegance of British and Canadian champion lines into his heritage. • Historical Influences: Ollie’s ancestry traces back to legendary producers like Boondox Panama Jack, the all-time top-producing longhaired sire in breed history. • Shaded Cream Roots: Through the Moon and Delaunes lines, Ollie inherits the genetics of the true English Cream. These lines were selectively bred for their unique silken coat texture and mild, loyal temperaments. • Supporting Lines: His extended pedigree features other notable names such as Parracinos, Hickory Hill, Wildwoods, Rose Farm, and McMillan, all of which contribute to his excellence in conformation and health.
