Meet the breeder

I'm Claire M., the breeder behind Goodwood Standard European Hunting Dachshunds located in Portland, OR. I have been breeding since 2003. First show dachshunds, now performance. I import dogs from Eastern, central and western Europe from active hunters and trackers. These are not couch potatoes. They need a LOT of exercise. Looking for young, active, outdoorsy people for this litter. Prior dachshund ownership a must. A fence yard in a home is a must. Someone home during most of the day is a must. These are not a dog for a first time dachsund owner. Thank you for your understanding.

Q. & A. with Claire

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I love matchmaking with dogs to create a better and better dog. I love puppies and I love to see my puppies out in competition. I also love all my puppy people!

  • What makes your program special?

    20 years ago I was one of only two breeders of standard smooth FCI conformed dogs in the US. Now, I have finally convinced 3 other people to start breeding. It has been a joy to introduce the European "teckel" Dachshund to the US. I owe an enormous debt to the breeders upon whose work I build.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

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

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies have smooth coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include chocolate and tan and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Claire

Claire has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Claire partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.

“I prefer younger owners, nonsmoking, have a fenced yard, active, no giant breeds, previous dachshund experience mandatory. These are not the easiest dog and mine are prey driven so need a lot of excercise.”

Price

Puppy prices include a $2,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“$2500 for any of my puppies. This includes the 8 weeks of socialization I put into them, their 1st vet visit, and 1st series of vaccines. I also provide a 200 crate for all puppy owners who want one. I am a firm believer in crate training and I want you to be too! Dogs come with a puppy slip lead and a toy. All my puppies are AKC registered, and microchipped. I DO NOT require neutering as the latest research shows that dogs need their hormones in order to become fully adult. I have a Ring camera on the puppy pen for 24 hours puppy watching!”
