Q. & A. with Christina
Why did you start breeding?
A Legacy of Love for Weenie Dogs
My love for dachshunds — or “weenie dogs,” as we affectionately call them — began in childhood, passed down from my mother, who adored the breed. Growing up in the country, I was surrounded by animals of all kinds, and it didn’t take long for my heart to find its true companions in these little dogs with big personalities.
For over 25 years, I’ve been proudly raising and breeding dachshunds. To me, they’re more than just dogs, they’re family. There’s nothing better than coming home after a long day to be greeted by wagging tails, warm snuggles, and those soulful eyes that seem to understand everything.
Breeding dachshunds has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Every puppy is raised with love, care, and early socialization to ensure they grow into happy, healthy companions. My mission is to match each puppy with a loving family where they can bring joy, just as they’ve brought to mine.
This isn’t just a hobby — it’s a family tradition. My children have grown up with dachshunds by their sides and now have beautiful weenie dogs of their own. Watching this legacy continue through the next generation fills me with pride and hope for the future.
Whether you're looking for your very first dachshund or adding another to your family, I’m here to help you find that special puppy who will steal your heart.....just like they’ve stolen mine.
What makes your program special?
All of my dachshund babies are truly part of our family. Each one is like one of my own children. Letting them go is always the hardest part of what I do, because they take a piece of my heart with them. From the moment they’re born, they are loved, nurtured, and raised right here in our home with constant care and attention.
I dedicate myself to raising well-socialized, confident, and beautiful puppies who are ready to thrive in their forever homes. Health, temperament, pedigree, and conformation are all top priorities in my breeding program. But just as important is the love and one-on-one time each puppy receives, because I believe a happy, well-loved puppy makes the best companion.
We pour our heart and soul into every puppy. Potential families are carefully screened to ensure our babies go to homes where they’ll be cherished and treated like family for a lifetime. Matching the right puppy with the right home is a responsibility I take very seriously.
Our mama dogs give birth in the safety and comfort of our home, with me by their side every step of the way. I’m there to assist during delivery and ensure both mom and puppies are healthy and supported. From day one, the puppies are gently handled, cuddled, and exposed to loving human interaction to help them grow into well-rounded dogs.
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 and longhaired 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, black and tan, black and cream, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
