Q. & A. with Chelsea
Why did you start breeding?
While living in Japan, I opened a pet grooming shop called Posh Paws Spaw and Cat Tales Kitten Rescue; a rescue organization provided by volunteer foster parents for abandoned and neglected kittens and cats. I began to take a large interest in dog shows locally. I learned about the importance of maintaining the American Kennel Club standards, preserving bloodlines, and bettering the breed.
What makes your program special?
All of our puppies are raised with love and care from the minute they are born. Each parent has a clean health history, beautiful conformation as expected for the Dachshund breed, and a caring and kind temperament. We are here to give endless amounts of information and support to you and your puppy. The smiles on families' faces, when they meet their puppy for the first time, are magical.
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 have longhaired coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, 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 guardian homes.
