Q. & A. with Ruth
Why did you start breeding?
18 1/2 years later after my Reggy passed I decided I wanted to help continue this amazing breed and start my own proper breeding program with the help of my daughter that has been breeding amazing minis for years. The name The Dachshund Den is loving memory of my first Dachshund Reggy. I was always sewing him Dachshund Dens to burrow in.What makes your program special?
We are small micro kennel with the focus on each and every one of them individually, loved and spoiled. All our Dachshunds are in home raised, AKC and genetically tested with no line breeding. Our goal is to provid families with happy, healthy, vaccinated, well rounded Dachshunds with great personality traits handed down by their amazing parents!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, brindle, gray (blue) and tan, blue and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Ruth was very responsive; she answered all my questions and provided weekly updates on my puppy. The whole experience was very professional, and I would definitely purchase again. Couldn't be happier with my puppy and The Dachshund Den. Thank you, Ruth.
