Q. & A. with Taya & Mike

  • Why did you start breeding?

    It all began with an English Springer Spaniel named Mally. A childhood best friend that had an ever-lasting impact on my life after my father's passing. When Mally passed a few years after my father, life wasn't whole anymore. You never know how much a dog can impact your life till they are gone. Our dogs have brought us so much joy and happiness that we wanted to give back to them by producing the highest quality dogs and providing them a great life with wonderful families.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our program is special because of our dogs. We hold our dogs to a high standard and make sure they pass on the best traits and health. We find so much fulfillment in raising and preparing them for their loving, forever homes. We truly love our puppies and know you will too! Priding ourselves on helping all of our new families find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Dachshund puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    A little over a year ago my husband and I started looking for a companion for our English Cocker Spaniel. We wanted a caring breeder who made sure placement of their puppies was a good match. Finding a breeder with a solid, healthy bloodline and one that left their tails natural was a bit of a challenge. That is until we found Taya! She was a delight to work with. She spent time interviewing me over the phone and was upfront that she was chatting with a few other families before she made her final placement decision for the pup we wanted to join our family. Taya called the next day and said she was ours if we were still interested. My husband hopped a plane and brought home our newest family member. She is a healthy delight, full of puppy mischief and loves to play with our other 4 year old dog. Taya has checked on our pup multiple times since she joined us and I love sending her pictures as she grows up! I highly recommend Taya and Clucking Homestead Springers & Dachsunds!
