🐾 A Little Bittersweet News from Our Dachshund Den 🐾
Since 2016, I’ve had the absolute joy (and occasional chaos!) of raising 55 longhaired dachshund puppies. It’s been a journey filled with sleepless nights, wagging tails, and that irresistible puppy breath. We’ve celebrated milestones and mourned heartbreaks - especially the two precious boys who were born sleeping. Along the way, I’ve made lifelong friends and memories I’ll cherish forever. 💛
A huge thank you to Cecilia and Gina for trusting me with my very first pair of dachshunds - the duo that started it all and still have my whole heart. To Jaci and Deonna, thank you for allowing me to bring Sunni and Millie into my program, which beautifully expanded my lines. Sunni has left quite the legacy of gorgeous, sweet pups! And to Jennifer, for sharing your wisdom, friendship, and endless dachshund knowledge. You’ve truly been such a gift.
After much thought, I’ve decided it’s time to retire from breeding due to ongoing health challenges. My focus now will be on giving my six beloved adults the spoiled, happy life they’ve more than earned… think extra cuddles, treats, and maybe a little less puppy chaos for all of us. 😉
To everyone who has supported me, followed my journey, adopted one of my babies, or simply cheered from the sidelines - thank you from the bottom of my heart. To the 45 wonderful families now raising a Sunshine Acres baby (or two… or three ☺️), I couldn’t be more grateful for you.
Here’s to a new chapter filled with naps, belly rubs, and the dachshund kind of happiness that never fades. 🐶❤️
