Over The Moon Dachshunds and Doodles

Q. & A. with Chantel

• Why did you start breeding?

  My journey into responsible breeding began after a heartbreaking experience with my first Dachshund, who sadly came to me with significant health issues as a result of irresponsible practices. He was taken from his mother too young and was severely undersized—a clear indicator of a poor start in life. That moment was a turning point.

I deeply love this breed and am passionate about providing families with a wonderful, healthy 'sausage dog' to cherish for many years.

• What makes your program special?

  Our commitment to our dogs is for life. We practice responsible breeding, which means we never over-breed and we do not rehome our dogs after they retire from our program. Each dog is a beloved family member first and foremost, and they remain with us for their entire lives. Our puppies are raised inside our home, where they receive daily handling and socialization.
