Q. & A. with Phil
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding because I loved the breed and wanted to see others as happy with them as we are. I love their playful and lovable nature.What makes your program special?
We are a small breeder, and we give all our attention to our dogs and puppies when they are born. They are raised in our home and socialized with both adults and all of our grandkids.

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.Where do your breeding dogs live?

I I had been searching for a Mini Dachshund for years but never quite found the right fit—until I met Phil. Purchasing my very first puppy through him was the best decision I could have made. From the very beginning, Phil and Jan have been nothing short of amazing. Their responsiveness, support, and deep knowledge of the breed made the entire process seamless and reassuring. It’s clear how much love and care they pour into raising their puppies—their passion truly shines through. My puppy, Oswald, is the most loving, friendly, eager-to-learn, and well-behaved dog I’ve ever met. I genuinely believe his wonderful temperament is a direct result of the exceptional way Phil and Jan raise their dogs. I couldn’t be happier with my experience, and I truly believe the reason I waited so long to get a dog was because I was meant to find this one. Thank you so much Phil and Jan!!!!!!!

We are getting our puppy from Phil in January. He has been wonderful to work with. He sends videos and pictures weekly so we can see how our new furbaby is growing. I can see how much he and his wife care for their dogs and I know the puppies are going to be loving because of that.

Phil has been wonderful to work with! He regularly sent me updates and pictures of our girl. You can tell he really cares about his puppies, and the buyer as well. We are so happy with our sweet Mavis. She came pre-spoiled and we couldn’t love her more :)

We picked up our puppy baby a couple weeks ago and it couldn’t have gone any better. Phil stayed in touch before the pick up and sent many updates and pictures. Once we picked her up it was a breeze. We feel in love with our puppy friend immediately. Phil explained everything very well and told us everything we needed to know. We even got a puppy starter bag from Phil. Phil and his wife are very passionate about their dogs. You can tell they love them all!
