A BREEDER'S LIFE
A Breeder is one who thirsts for knowledge and never really knows it all, one who wrestles with decisions of conscience, convenience and commitment.
A Breeder is one who sacrifices personal interests, finances, time, fancy furniture, and deep pile carpeting! They give up the dreams of a long, luxurious cruise in favor of turning that all important Show into this year's "vacation".
The Breeder goes without sleep (but never without coffee!) in hours spent planning a breeding or watching anxiously over the birth process, and afterwards, over every little sneeze, wiggle or cry.
The Breeder skips dinner parties because that litter is due or the babies have to be fed at eight. They disregard birth fluids and puts mouth to mouth to save a gasping new-born, literally blowing life into a tiny, helpless creature that may be the culmination of a lifetime of dreams.
A Breeder's lap is a marvelous place where generations of proud and noble champions once snoozed.
A Breeder's hands are strong and firm and often soiled, but ever so gentle and sensitive to the thrusts of a puppy's wet nose.
A Breeder's back and knees are usually arthritic from stooping, bending, and sitting in the birthing box, but are strong enough to enable the breeder to Show the next choice pup to a Championship.
A Breeder's shoulders are stooped and often heaped with abuse from competitors, but they're wide enough to support the weight of a thousand defeats and frustrations.
A Breeder's arms are always able to wield a mop, support an armful of puppies, or lend a helping hand to a newcomer.
A Breeder's ears are wondrous things, sometimes red (from being talked about) or strangely shaped (from being pressed against a phone receiver), often deaf to criticism, yet always fine-tuned to the whimper of a sick puppy.
A Breeder's eyes are blurred from pedigree research and sometimes blind to their own dog's faults, but they are ever so keen to the competitions faults and are always searching for the perfect specimen.
A Breeder's brain is foggy on faces, but it can recall pedigrees faster than an IBM computer. It's so full of knowledge that sometimes it blows a fuse: it catalogues thousands of good bondings, fine ears, and perfect heads... and buries in the soul the failures and the ones that didn't turn out.
The Breeder's heart is often broken, but it beats strongly with hope everlasting... and it's always in the right place! Oh, yes, there are breeders, and then, there are BREEDERS!!
*** LIFETIME RETURN POLICY ***
My puppies are not a "just a dog", and before purchasing my puppies please know I DO NOT want - for any reason - any puppy of mine to ever face being "given up" to a shelter, or worse. I expect anyone purchasing a puppy from me to always know I'll always have a place, or find a forever home for, all of my puppies in case of need. If for some reason they cannot be cared for by their new family I will ALWAYS take back one of my puppies, no judgement will be made.
Our adults are kept up on all shots, wormings, heart guard, and flea meds. We want all of our moms and dads to be as healthy as possible so they can provide you with healthy and outstanding pups to add to your family.
Before acquiring a longhaired or shorthaired miniature Dachshund you must know that this breed can live up to 16 years, it’s a responsibility to consider. The miniature longhaired Dachshund requires that you groom it at least twice a year and must be combed regularly. A well groomed dog is a happy dog.
Puppies go home with a puppy packet, bag of current puppy food, dew claws clipped, 1st set of shots (includes record), information on dachshunds to read & a CD of all the pictures taken of your new baby doxie for you to keep!
WE WILL NEVER KNOWINGLY SELL OUR PUPPIES OR ADULTS TO ANY PET STORES, OR PUPPY MILLS. PUPPIES ARE LIVING BREATHING CREATURES, THEY ARE NOT AN "ITEM" TO JUST BE PASSED AROUND! I AM VERY PROUD AND HAPPY TO BE THE BREEDER I AM. I WANT TO PROVIDE HEALTHY AND HAPPY PUPPIES TO FAMILIES.
WE DO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE / SELL A PUPPY OR ADULT TO ANYONE WE FEEL IS NOT FIT.
