Sorry there can never be a guarantee! 🤷🏼‍♀️ We will find out when you find out! But you’re going to love them just as much no matter their size!🤍

One thing I’m no longer going to do is guarantee that a puppy will stay a miniature.

Here’s why.

This isn’t about my breeding program. This is about being honest.

If you’ve spent any time learning about dachshunds, you’ve probably already discovered that two miniature parents can still produce puppies that mature into small standards. Genetics simply don’t work like a guarantee.

Lately I’ve heard stories of people becoming angry because their dog ended up a couple of pounds bigger than they expected. That honestly makes me sad, because somewhere along the way we’ve started focusing more on a number on the scale than the amazing dog standing in front of us.

Years ago I had more very tiny miniatures. Most of those dogs are now retired. Today my adults are generally around 11 pounds and up. Some are tweenies, some are small standards, and I absolutely love that. They’re athletic, sturdy, healthy, and still perfectly sized to be your lap dog and best friend.

So if you message me asking for a guaranteed miniature, I’m going to be honest and tell you I can’t promise that.

And if you’re only looking for the smallest dachshund possible, I’m probably not the right breeder for you.

But if you’re looking for a healthy, beautiful, well-socialized dachshund with an amazing temperament, raised inside my home, loved every single day, and given the very best start in life…

Then we’re probably going to get along just fine.

At Cherished Dachshunds, I don’t breed for the smallest number on a scale.

I breed for healthy dogs, sound structure, wonderful temperaments, and lifelong companions.

Because in ten years, your dog’s heart will matter a whole lot more than whether they weigh 10 pounds or 14.

I’m using this sleepy boy for attention 💙

This has been very heavy on my heart for the last week or so. Our local community is in complete dismay over this tragic death of Aimee, a Husky, whos life should have been much much longer.

**The Pennsylvania senator has proposed new legislation aimed at preventing future animal neglect. The law, known as Aimee’s Law, would create a publicly accessible registry of individuals convicted of felony animal abuse offenses in PA.**

I hope that other states see this and make a decision to do the same.

Rest easy, Aimee🪽🌈 🤍 🐾

The death of a puppy in Erie, emaciated and nearly frozen, is prompting action in Harrisburg. State Senator Dan Laughlin announced on Monday that he will introduce Aimee’s Law. If passed, the…
