About us:
Several years ago
during a drought, we decided to sell the kids' cows because it was
costing us too much to feed them. At first, we had the idea to breed
miniature horses. While at a parade in May of 2004, we ran into a
family friend with a dachshund puppy and fell in love with it. We
told her to let us know when she had a litter. Months later, we ran
into her at Walmart. She said she had a litter that was an accident.
The kids got so excited. We went to see the puppies and immediately
one stood out- an adorable, bouncy red girl. We had to have that
dog. The first of March 2005, we brought her home. It took us a
while to come up with her name, but when "Sassy" was mentioned, we
knew we had found it. Over the summer, we purchased 3 more dogs-
Sophie, Lexi, and Trigger. At first, we referred to Sophie and Lexi
as "The Twins" because they were sisters and looked pretty much
alike. The first of December, we got Henry. Shortly after Sophie's
first litter of 5 puppies (all boys!) we got our piebald girl Panda.
In June, we got 3 more dogs: Blondie, Frappy, and Trixie. Of course,
we didn't stop at 9 Dachsies; we had to have more. At the end of
summer, we got Bevo, Toodles, and Woody. Sophie's second litter was
born in late October, and we had our first blue and tan! We hadn't
ever seen a blue in person (or dog, rather)- we fell in love with
her. So, we kept her, and now she's our little Maggie Boo-Boo. We made
the more additions to our mini Dachshund family in early march of
2007 when we came home with Queenie and Honey.
Our puppies come pre-spoiled from our home in Vernon, Texas. We
start shots at 6 weeks with our veterinarian. We don't let
our puppies go to new homes until they are 7 or 8 weeks old due to
the small size of the breed..
