Penny 💖
Chocolate Based Cream Dapple.
Carries: Points, dilute, Piebald, ticking

Every breeders dream for color/pattern.

But then there's me...whom is way more concerned that her coat isn't very nice (I like a much longer coat).
I need to learn to be patient, coats don't come all the way in until 3 years old. She's only 7 months. I just need to be patient 🙃🙃🙃 but I'm definitely struggling.

🚨 Scam Alert Friends! 🚨

‼️‼️The scammers are out in full force again, and I’ve been blocking and deleting fake accounts. If you ever see someone tag you on my page talking about puppies or asking you to “join their page,” please do not click any links. Those are scammers ‼️‼️ IMPORTANT note...they are getting alot better at disguising themselves...using regular named pages. They are catching on to what we KNOW to avoid and are getting smarter.

I do my best to catch and remove every one of them, but sometimes a few sneak by before I can block them. Please stay alert only trust updates and information that come directly from this page. 💕🐾

Also just for funsies.. anyone that comes into my comments with any negative comments or has anything to say that is anti-breeder, I will immediately block. Im done arguing with ignorant people, I dont have time to deal with the cry babies.

‼️Dachshunds were bred to hunt — not to be accessories or purse dogs.‼️

This breed was intentionally developed to track, chase, dig, and confront prey such as badgers. Their long bodies, strong chests, and bold personalities weren’t designed for looks — they were built for work. Even in today’s companion homes, those instincts are still very much present.
⚠️Many dachshunds will instinctively chase squirrels, birds, rodents, cats, and anything that moves quickly — and yes, they may also dig with impressive determination.
⚠️If the chased ends in a "catch" please prepare for what was caught it to end up❌️

Because of this, dachshunds are frequently misunderstood. Their small size leads people to assume they are delicate, passive, or content being carried everywhere. In reality, they are confident, driven, and determined working dogs in a small package.

They are not fragile decorations.
They are not fashion accessories. 🚫

They are small dogs with big instincts, strong opinions, loud voices, and a love for digging.
Digging is a natural behavior for dachshunds. They were bred to go underground after prey, and that instinct often shows up in yards, gardens, blankets, furniture, and bedding. This behavior isn’t misbehavior — it’s genetics. Proper outlets, supervision, and management are key.

Barking is also a natural part of this breed. Dachshunds were bred to alert and vocalize while working, and many will bark to announce movement, unfamiliar sounds, or perceived threats.

❗️This is not a flaw - it’s a trait.❗️
As an ethical breeder, it is our responsibility to be transparent about these traits — not to downplay them for the sake of a sale. Placing a dachshund into a home that expects a dog with no prey drive, minimal barking, no digging, perfect off-leash reliability, or toy-like behavior sets both the dog and the owner up for frustration and potential safety issues.

🔴 Responsible dachshund ownership requires:
• Understanding the breed’s prey drive, digging instinct, and vocal tendencies
• Proper use of leashes, fencing, and supervision
• Realistic training expectations and consistent boundaries
• Mental stimulation and enrichment to channel instinctual behaviors
• Environmental management instead of punishment for natural traits

Ethical breeding goes far beyond producing cute puppies. It means educating potential buyers, having honest conversations, asking the right questions, and carefully screening homes to ensure each puppy is placed with owners who respect the breed and are prepared to meet its needs.

When dachshunds are treated as dogs first — not accessories — they thrive. Respecting their purpose, instincts, and individuality leads to safer homes, happier dogs, and a stronger future for the breed.

I can only add one video (stupid) so I chose this one of them barking at one of my goats 🤣

✨️ADULTS✨️
I have a duo that I would consider finding a retirement home for. They MUST go together. No exceptions.
Bonded pair!

I am only considering this because they are getting older and Kass is getting grumpy. Im sure they would much rather prefer a home with less dogs and more one on one attention.

Both were born and raised here.

Kass - 7yrs old - Female
Blue and Cream smooth
Spayed
Fully potty trained and kennel trained

Remy- 4yrs old - Male
ee cream smooth
✂️Neutered
Potty trained (if let out enough) and Kennel trained
Has a bladder issue and is on special food (needs to be on it for life) - this needs alot more elaboration if interested.
🚗 Best car dog you could EVER ask for.

Things to know:
Kass is Remy's mom. Both do not do well with other dogs (they do fine with my dogs, but they were raised here with them) and neither likes children.
High prey drive. If you have a squirrel in your yard or maybe a bunny- now you dont.

If you are in any rush - please do not message me for more info. It takes me alot of time and conversation to know if a new family is a good fit. It is a long process.

I would prefer within reasonable driving distance. I dont want them going to far away ❤️

🎄 Puppies Aren’t Christmas Presents — They’re Long-Term Commitments 🐾

Every holiday season, many families consider surprising someone with a new puppy. While the intention is usually loving, the weeks that follow tell a different story. Shelters across the country regularly report a noticeable increase in surrendered dogs right after the holidays — often puppies that were given as gifts.

The reason is simple: once the excitement fades, the reality of caring for a young dog sets in. House training, constant supervision, teething, chewing, and the cost of early veterinary care can quickly overwhelm families who weren’t prepared for the responsibility.

⸻

Why Doing Breed Research Matters

A major factor behind post-holiday surrenders is choosing a dog without understanding its needs. Every breed (and mix) comes with unique traits, and when those traits don’t fit a family’s lifestyle, the dog often ends up in a shelter.

💡 Energy Levels

Some dogs are high-energy athletes who need daily running, mental stimulation, and structured activity. Others are calmer and more content with moderate exercise. When a dog’s energy doesn’t match the household, frustration builds on both sides.

💡 Grooming Needs

Long-haired and double-coated breeds require regular brushing and sometimes professional grooming. For some families, shedding or grooming demands become overwhelming.

💡 Size and Strength

The tiny puppy under the tree may grow into a large, powerful adult. Owners are often surprised by the training and space requirements of larger breeds.

💡 Behavioral Tendencies

Herding breeds herd. Terriers dig. Hounds follow their noses. These natural instincts can be wonderful — but only if the family understands and can manage them.

⸻

The Better Approach for the Holidays

If your family is thinking about adding a dog, consider using the season to prepare instead of purchasing impulsively. Research breeds together, talk to veterinarians and trainers, or plan a shelter visit after the holiday rush. Making an informed decision gives both the family and the future dog the best chance at a happy, successful life together.

⸻

In the End…

Pets are family, not presents.
A dog’s life can span 12–15 years or more, and their care requires time, patience, and resources. When you’re truly ready — we’re here to help guide you, support you, and keep your new companion healthy at every stage. ❤️🐶
