I'm Christy D., the breeder behind Duke's Mini Dachshunds located in Gulfport, MS. Although I am fairly new to breeding, I am enthusiastic about ethically sharing my love for Dachshunds with loving families. I have a passion for excellence and healthy family pets, and I am dedicated to furthering my education to improve my breeding program and share my knowledge with others. I want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.
Q. & A. with Christy
Why did you start breeding?
I have been researching the breed for years and my goal is to better the breed.
What makes your program special?
My dogs are raised in my home, not in a kennel. I run a small program so that I can dedicate the time needed for each puppy. They are socialized with other dogs and with my 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 include cream, brindle, and black and cream. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
