Inga, mom
Dachshund
About Inga
Don't let her beauty fool you, Inga has an extremely strong prey drive. She won 2 first-place ribbons and earned 14 AKC points at her very first field trials in 2024 at just 1.5 years old. She loves to play fetch, find hidden treats, learn new tricks, get belly rubs, and snuggle. She's hidden dapple so half of her puppies will be dapple. Her grandfather was a grand champion from Von Wolff Kennel Dachshunds so she is considered AKC Champion Bloodline.
Helga, mom
Dachshund
About Helga
A picture is worth 1,000 words but pictures of Helga don't do her justice, she's gorgeous! With beauty comes a bit of harmless sass (barking is her love language), but we wouldn't want our dachshunds any other way. Helga is a wonderful mother, she keeps her puppies well fed, very clean, and she plays with them which is so fun to watch. Her heat cycles are some of the longest we've ever heard of (12-19 months apart) which makes her litters few and far between but so worth the wait!
