Q. & A. with Caleb
Why did you start breeding?
Our story begins when I was an eleven year old farm girl. My dad helped me adopt my first dachshund, a spunky little red girl. She is the reason I fell in love with the breed that’s “half a dog high and a dog and a half long!"
What makes your program special?
We offer a 100% two week health guarantee and a five year genetic health guarantee with each puppy, leaving you with the satisfaction of knowing you are adopting a healthy new family member. Age appropriate vaccines are kept up-to-date and each puppy is examined by our vet before leaving our home.
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 piebald, cream, black, chocolate, chocolate and tan, chocolate and cream, black and tan, black and cream, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
