Q. & A. with Holly
Why did you start breeding?
We love the Dachshund breed! After the loss of our first dachshund (she came from a pet store because I didn’t know any better) who died from something that was never picked up on, and was avoidable, I decided to breed the healthiest dachshunds possible so no one would have to go through the same thing. We DNA test all of our dogs and offer a health warranty. Dachshunds are our passion & family.
What makes your program special?
At Sugarbakers Kennel, we produce excellent companions. We understand the importance of dog health, temperament, & pedigree, & every breeding decision is made accordingly. We are also constantly improving our breeding program & work closely with top experts & the best veterinarians that specialize in genetics & reproductive health. All of our breeding dogs are shown for confirmation championships.
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 and black and cream. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
