Q. & A. with Ann
Why did you start breeding?
I have been involved in breeding many species—cows, horses, sheep, goats, rabbits and even cats. I enjoy the science of reproduction and the intricacies of genes are inherited and expressed. Breeding Dachshunds is a wonderful way to blend my passions—for reproduction and for the breed.
What makes your program special?
We take pride in being a smaller, family-run program that relies on science, genetics and breed standards. Our goal is to create puppies that not only improve the Dachshund breed but also make wonderful pets.
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 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 red, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
