Q. & A. with Shelly

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I've always had animals and as I got older, I wanted a little dog but with big dog ambitions for adventures.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our program is built on decades of hands-on breeding experience and a deep knowledge of our bloodlines. We carefully plan each litter using proven, consistent pedigrees and dogs we know through generations. Our goal is never simply to produce puppies, but to improve with each generation while preserving correct Dachshund type, sound temperament and the qualities we value in the breed.AKC Champion
