BRAGGING RIGHTS! I work very hard to find just the right family for each and every puppy and I've been able to make many families happy along with special needs.
One of my females was trained as a diabetic alert dog which is an incredible honor for me. A diabetic alert dog is trained to alert you of a blood sugar drop or spike while you’re still awake enough to treat your blood sugar levels or get help. The way a diabetic service dog tells you that you need to check your blood sugar depends on their training. Both the man who accepted her as well as my beautiful Lexi are doing just fine.
Another customer just updated me that he is training his female for truffle hunting! How exciting to follow families and their puppies. I so appreciate the photos, updates as well as learning new things that my extended fur-families are up to.
Hoping everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. Updating everyone that Lexie (black & tan smooth) is expecting the end of June and Jackie (red brindle with black tiger stripes smooth) is just now coming into heat. Mad Max remains my only male.

ARTICLE FROM AKC - If you’re out for a walk and your dog or puppy starts barking at people, it’s easy to freeze and feel embarrassed. Barking is a natural behavior for dogs, but we don’t want to encourage our dogs to bark at people.
Dogs bark at people for a variety of different reasons including because the dog is excited, frustrated that they can’t greet the person, or even worried or uncomfortable about the person’s presence. Location is also important. Is your dog in your front yard barking at people walking past? Your dog may feel protective of his home, this will be particularly true for breeds that historically worked as guardian dogs. Similarly, these breeds may be inclined to bark to warn people to stay away. Regardless of why your dog is barking at people, there are games you can play to help your dog or puppy learn to ignore people.
Staying Below Threshold
Regardless of why your dog barks at people, the key to shifting the behavior is to keep your dog “below threshold” whenever possible. Meaning, you want to set your dog up for success by working with her at a distance where she sees people but is still able to turn away from the distraction and engage with you instead of barking. As she gains confidence and understanding that you want her to engage with you instead of barking you can slowly build up to being closer and closer to people.
2 handsome dudes looking for a family to call their own. DOB 11/27 with a RTG date end of January. Riley is a black and cream piebald. Very independent and curious about everything. Jackson is a black and tan piebald. And he's the leader of the pack. PM for more details and to set up a puppy play date.
Since Seresto pet collars were introduced, the EPA has received more than 75,000 reports related to the collars, including 907 involving human harm.
THEY'VE ARRIVED
Jackie delivered 5 healthy and beautiful babies. 3 girls and 2 boys. There are approximately 64 families requesting a puppy. There is about 26 families that wrote sweet notes on why they should get one and I will be reaching out over the next few days. My whole goal is to connect the perfect family with each baby. My expectations are pet only, puppy play dates if you live close and to take most excellent care of your new family member. Won't know smooth vs longhair coat for another week or so.
ANY TIME NOW poor Jackie, we were up most of last night. Lots of bells runs. Soon my little one, soon.
LUNA IS LOOKING for her perfect family. She's beautiful, small all black smooth coat. Initially fell in love with this sweetheart's personality and energy. She's a true miniature and too small for my program. PM for details, current on shots and worming.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARL one of my August 25th litter. Time is flying by far too fast! Carl's family resides in Arlington. He's smart, loves to snuggle, handsome and found his perfect forever home.
IT'S BEEN FAR TOO LONG since I've posted. As some of you know, mom turns 90 September 1st and I've been dealing with aging parent and family issues.
On a wonderful note, I've invested in new girls to join my tribe and they will be arriving soon. I've missed the joy of puppies this year. Although Jackie had one, my time with the puppy went far too fast before she joined an incredible couple that is spoiling her rotten. I'll be adding photos of new tribe members within a few days. Thanks for hanging in there with me!
Let's throw 2020 out the door!
2020 brought a mix of good & bad. My mother's aging has brought new challenges and a few old ones. I'm sure this is something that I share with some of you. I did return to school and completed WSU's Master Gardener program (yea) and I rehomed some of my females to incredible homes. I miss them and their new families share pictures of spoiled rotten girls! One made it into the SERVICE DOG program for someone with diabetes which I'm very proud of. May 2021 bring everyone good health and much love. I'll be introducing my new family members down the road. I'm hoping for a litter come spring with Mad Max and Jackie however, so far ... Jackie doesn't seem too interested. Fingers crossed and prayers said. Be safe everyone.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET MAD MAX ###II you're my guy!

Wondering why dogs eat grass? Here's why your dog may be chewing on weeds and grass on your walks.
DID YOU KNOW ... TODAY IS
2nd Best Thing I've ever done. My tribe...
BROWNIE DELIVERED on Wednesday, August 25. Labor was long and challenging for her. She delivered 4 boys. Two chocolate based cream males, one black dapple and one black and tan male. I'll be reaching out shortly to the families who delivered letters and specifically requested males with specific coats. If those families have already found a puppy elsewhere, then I'll continue to go down the list until everyone has found their home. Once that has been done, I'll update everyone. Thank you everyone for reaching out. Over 220+ people are looking for puppies and it's challenging to not be able to give everyone a beautiful doxie puppy.
Thank you
Special Delivery...finally Downtown Brown aka Brownie is delivering her babies . I will update later today or tomorrow on gender and coats. For now ... we're busy.
At the moment I have just under 200 people reaching out for a miniature dachshund puppy and I have one confirmed pregnancy and another possible one for this fall that I should have confirmation on shortly.
I've reached out to my mentors and other breeders on how they are handling their "list" I've gotten several responses. First one is raise your pricing Marie ... it helps everyone asking for more if you just increase your pricing. That's not me! I'm not driven by the money as much as I'm driven to find incredible homes for my puppies. So here's what I'm thinking. Write me a short story on your love of doxies and why I should pick you. Several of you have and I've been moved by your stories. Many of you know that I lost my home of 20+ years December 2016 due to an electrical fire. My son got me up and out the door but I went back in for my dogs and got turned around and Eric had to come back in and drag me out. I lost my original tribe so I understand your loses. I get it.
Any one who sends me a story will be put into a lottery and I'll research stories, pull names and reach out to families. As most of you know, I do not take deposits until puppies are viewed by families and picked. This is the best I can do and I hope that everyone understands. Be safe out there and I'll be reaching towards the end of August on first litter. Thank you everyone.
AND THEY CALLED IT PUPPY LOVE ...
Next planned litter due around August. Thank you everyone.
INTRODUCING Jackie. Sleeping beauty and yet holy terror on 4 short ones.
GABBY'S BOYS are ready to go to their new home any time after June 1, 2020. Please follow up with me on convenient time ... enjoy every minute of your day.
Sweet noys
INTRODUCED wet puppy food to Gabby's big boys today. Locked Gabby and the brothers ate like pigs. Most excellent first time. Pictures tomorrow...
Gabby's babies - we are blessed to have 40+ inquires. The challenge is that we only have 5 babies to adopt out. I've narrowed the list down to about 10 by eliminating smooth coats and more specific requests. I'll be reaching out to those people this weekend in hopes of finding best homes for babies.
Thank you everyone and please remember that we'll have another litter around August timeline. Thank you again.
GABBY IS NOT READY TO SHARE. However, I did take quick photos. Top 2 dappled are boys, I think and the other 3 are girls. It's been a rocky 36 hours for my family...more specific tomorrow.
5 ... Gabby has 5 beautiful puppies all nursing and getting cleaned. Pictures and gender ID in a day or so.
GABBY'S UPDATE I've been up since 145am with steady labor. She has one beautiful pup so far. I believe in giving moms a day or two to adjust and rest. I'll be back later today with a head count. Then back in a day or two with gender update along with coat details.
Later gater
Gabby is still taking belly rubs and sleeping. Waiting is hard to do.
