Q. & A. with Ilse
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with dachshunds the moment I met my first girl, Penny. She changed everything. From her sweet spirit to her hilarious personality, I knew I wanted to share the joy these dogs bring but not just by placing puppies. I set out to truly better the breed I adore.

What makes lengthydog.co special? It’s all love. Our mini doxies are raised in our home, snuggled daily, and treated like family from day one. We focus on health, sweet temperaments, and that classic dachshund charm. It's not just breeding—it’s sharing the joy of doxies done right.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and standard sizes. 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.

Ilse was very kind and answered any questions I had quick and honestly. She kept me updated and was responsible when it came to information she gave me that was needed for the puppy. She was sweet enough to fly up to Montana to drop off Aki for me and I loved meeting her and her husband. I would definitely get another puppy from them in the future!

Ilse was very easy to contact & ask questions regarding my pup! They replied in a timely manner & sent updated pictures as he grew. Upon meeting Ilse, I received a bag with puppy food, treats, toys & litter blanket.

Ilse was very responsive and regularly sent me photo updates of my pup! She’s very knowledgeable about the breed and even gave us a little welcome bag when we picked up our pup, filled with food, a blanket, treats and more. I’ve recommended her to family and friends.

This was our first puppy in many years and we were not sure about the process but Ilse was very helpful. She was great about answering questions we had and even sent us videos and pictures as we asked. Our puppy was healthy, well trained for his age and has such a loving temperament we couldn't be happier.
