Q. & A. with Catherine
Why did you start breeding?
I have been fortunate to be raised by a long-time lover of the breed, who has bred and shown dachshunds my entire life. I have since developed and honed my own expertise within longhair dachshunds, specifically English creams and flashy dapples.
What makes your program special?
We are proud to be an intimate, family-oriented breeder. We raise all of our pups in-home with our family, giving them plentiful exposure to children, chickens, and other experiences! Our pups are sweet, social and cuddly balls of joy.
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 have longhaired coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, chocolate and cream, chocolate and tan, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Dachshund
About Lilly
A shaded cream longhair dachshund, Lilly loves to be a part of the pack. When she isn't hanging out with the other pups, she's curled up next to us on the couch. Her favorite place to be is sunning on the porch, or playing with the kids.
Sammy, dad
Dachshund
About Sammy
Sammy is a laid back and calm dude who just wants to sit on your lap and go on car rides. His favorite things are hanging his head out the window, treats (specifically any type of bacon), and giving his signature long-eyed pout.
