Parent dogs
Ava, mom
Dachshund
About Ava
Ava is an AKC registered chocolate and cream dapple female. She is a velcro dog and loves toys and cuddling. She's very smart, attentive, and athletic. If any human is up and about doing something, Ava is probably in the middle of it 'helping.' Fun fact: her dappling is over one of her eyes, so half of her right eye is blue.
Rose, mom
Dachshund
About Rose
Rose is a chocolate and tan dapple miniature dachshund. She is the elegant lady of the bunch and makes new friends so they can give her attention, as well. She is AKC registered and is so photogenic!
Great health testing

Remy, dad
Dachshund
About Remy
Remy is a chocolate and cream longhaired mini dachshund. He is my adult daughter's forever dog, and the love of her life. He was raised in a dorm, and is very social. He is gorgeous and enjoys being spoiled on his many adventures! There is something about boy dogs keeping their puppy love and loyalty, and he certainly does!
