Q. & A. with Candace
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with Mini Dachshunds after getting my first two in 2024. While searching for AKC puppies in 2025, I realized I wanted to start my own breeding program. With the help of my mentor, husband, and loved ones, I learned everything I could—and now, we’re proud to begin our first year in the breeding world!What makes your program special?
What makes our breeding program special is the full-time care and love we give. Being home daily allows us to raise our puppies in a family-friendly environment, ensuring each one—and every mom and dad—is healthy, socialized, and deeply loved. I also enjoy connecting personally with every future puppy parent.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 include wirehaired, smooth, and longhaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include piebald, cream, red, black and cream, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
