Q. & A. with Northern

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Before children my first baby was a dapple dachshund. I just love the very short stature but the very big loving heart. No matter where I go my fur baby is sure to follow. Always ready for a hiking adventure or just simply cuddling on the couch with a blanket. My passion and love for my breed has made me open my heart to share that love with other families. I take pride in the family aspect of my dachshunds.

  • What makes your program special?

    My program is special because I am not only offering a pet I am offering you a new family member who will love you unconditionally. From being active, whole hearted loving, family oriented, and a very great temperament towards other animals or people ranging from infants to adults. This is an outstanding breed and I am grateful to share them with the world.

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

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