Joe amd I have been showing and loving dogs for a combined 95 years. Joe was bitten by the toy Manchester bug and the Dachshund bug got me!! I started showing dogs at the tender age of 6,and has shown many breeds to their championship in the conformation ring and I also loved every second I was in the obedience ring' ..I was lucky enough to get to show a few Rat Terriers for a lovely lady and fell in love with the breed!! I had to have one...two..three!! Jazz was my first Rat Terrier and this girl came out of the gate running she was shown in puppy 4 to 6 and was a group placer and earned her puppy achiever award.. She finished her championship in 2 weekends of showing..taking the breed over the seasoned specials!! She completed her Grand Championship just as fast!! she is a beautiful girl with a nice temperament and does she love to show!... Even though Joe and I are relatively new to the rat terrier world we bring to the table a wealth of information and knowledge to be shared with everybody This only comes with many many years of experience ..we want nothing more than to produce the best rat terrier that we possibly can and have a lot of fun while we're doing it We have absolutely fallen in love with this breed and want to see it excel to its utmost potential!! We feel that temperament and HEALTH are first and foremost!! The beauty is secondary. Our dogs are a part of the family and enjoy hunting on our property here is Texas.

My husband and I have been breeding and exhibiting dogs since 1973. We began with Shetland Sheepdogs and began breeding longhair dachshunds in 1998. In 2003 we purchased our first wirehair dachshund and she was a group and specialty winning dachshund. She produced one 10 champions for us. In 2007 we purchased another wirehaired dachshund female from a different line and that line has proven to be most successful for us. We exhibit our dachshunds and produce a litter at least once a year. We have several stud dogs on our place and are available to approved bitches.

M Keshlear lives in So Belton, Texas and shows/breeds mini Dachshunds. I am a Silver Breeder of Merit so I have had over 50 champions with many performance titles on my dogs. I have 2 mini smooth males available to pet homes. They are about 8 wks now. I am taking them outside in the morning to get used to following me outside. I have a area that is a jungle Jim so they can learn to use their body to climb and jump. /I DNA test all my mothers/fathers through Embark vet on line. My lines are based on two geneticists - one from Canada and one from the USA. Lots of tried and true older lines. When I started to breed I did many eye checks on my foundation stock. I did patella checks and I used a pedigree program that allowed me to not breed to close. I have many males collected that I still need to breed back into and test to see what they carry or don't. I only use animals in my lines that represent the Standard. I breed for intelligence so I try to place mine with people who can keep up with them and respect that about them. I breed true miniatures - most will be under 11 lbs - 30 yrs of breeding and showing in performance and conformation events. ////Pets $1500/ $1800 to $3000 for a show dog adults $800 and most will be fixed before leaving. Socialized and excellent companions. I test for chocolate/ piebald / Cream. Because of scams I prefer you pick up your puppy at my home. I can meet you at the airport and either drop the puppy off to or bring you back to my house until it’s time to go back. /// I encourage people who get my dogs to take them to the vet as soon as possible. ////I will send pictures of the puppies I have available. I will send videos of the whole litter every couple of weeks. I prefer you contact through a text . You can also go to Qualitydogs.com and you can complete the puppy inquiry and it will be forwarded to me. copy it to a email and send it to me at [email protected]. ///I DNA test all my mothers/fathers through Embark vet on line and have for years. I don't breed Dapple so I don't get blue eyes. Breeding Piebald and Dapple together can cause genetic problems so I only breed one white gene. I breed for intelligence health and temperaments. These are small guard dogs and so are also very gamey and have alot of their own initiative.

I am Teri from Texas and breed Miniature Dachshunds. Texting me is the quickest way to get ahold of me. 972-268-5200 I was raised from birth to 18 on a Pit Bull farm. That’s where my undying love for dogs comes from. Growing up I fed, watered, bathed, dipped, trained, tube-fed, bred, birthed, even brought 2 puppies back to life with CPR. My number one reason for providing mini Dachshunds is to share the loyalty, love, and joy my dogs brought me my whole life. I want to provide the immeasurable joy to children and adults alike that quality, healthy puppies bring into our lives. To make other families happy is my greatest joy. I’m a retired Middle School English teacher. Now that I’m not teaching anymore, I have returned to my first love. I hope to make your family as happy as mine has been with Man’s Best Friend. I look forward to working with you. In solidarity with all animal lovers, a portion of For The Love Of Doxies donates monetarily and needed supplies to local animal shelters and rescues. Everyone should be free to find THEIR perfect companion! So we support all animals looking for a furever home. We hope you’ll find one of our mini’s to add to your family.

www.Gloriousminis.com Johnny and Jessie are from Texas and breed Dachshunds. 512-596-7501 The highest quality Purebred AKC Mini Dachshund Puppies. Our Purebred Miniature Dachshund puppies are healthy, friendly and guaranteed. Parents registered with AKC. Lifetime Temperament Guarantee Lifetime Eye Guarantee Lifetime Hips/Elbow Guarantee Lifetime Heart Guarantee Five Year Hereditary/ Congenital Guarantee (Complete Head to Tail) 7 Day Unconditional Health Guarantee We strive to produce only the highest quality, healthy, and sound, family companions as well as show/agility/ and obedience prospects. My dogs are my best friends. They receive the best care and loving attention at all times. My dogs are kept in my home and are members of the family, and more than a bit spoiled. Every pup is raised lovingly from birth which produces a much more sound and gentle temperament resulting in a much better family companion right from the start. This shows in the pups we raise, as well as the resulting adult dogs. We do not believe in sacrificing anything in the process. Our days are spent interacting with our dogs, grooming, walking and playing (or even napping). I know the key to a rich relationship with any animal is very dependent on good breeding and socialization. Every dog is bred for excellent conformation, health, and temperament to become the best family companion available. I know that they will exceed every expectation you have of them. We take great consideration and time to individually pour tremendous amount of love, caring, and attention to the details that make all the difference in the years to come. We asked that you fill it on application so that we can get to know you, as much as you get to know us. You see we hand pick all of our Mommies and Daddies to join our family Please understand why we are so elite and choosy, I would drop everything to drive or fly across the country to rescue one of my babies! You may notice in the contract well you're welcome to pass along to a relative or a friend, but you're legally obligated to call me personally before you surrender one of our babies to a shelter or a rescue. We simply will not allow our fur children to end up at a shelter or rescue ever! We will always welcome them back home. Each one of our babies is meticulously and affectionately cultivated and doted over 24 hours a day 7 days a week from the moment they're born until we finally are forced to let them go. When they leave our hands to go into yours. We expect the best care for them for the rest of their lives. In return you will find no better friend anywhere in the world. The Difference: Unlike other breeders who offer you a photo and a price and nothing more, we work diligently to observe their personalities, and to encourage good traits and behaviors early on; in this way you're not just buying the book because the cover looks good. You actually to know the story and so although the book will unfold in your environment and along with your interaction, you are informed and know what it's about and to expect this is a way that lets you completely fall in love and know it’s a book you would read lifetimes over and over. I assure you each one of our babies gets an immeasurable amount of love, time, scrutiny, and individualized coaching poured into them, this makes all the difference in the world over the next 20+ years to come. Although some personalities are independent we are trying by design to make the biggest cuddle monster and little love bug that can be found anywhere in the entire world. I cannot put into words the amount of love you are about to receive back. I spent over 250 hours researching before I bought Glory. I was willing to pay any price $10,000 plus and ship from Russia or Europe or anywhere worldwide. Simply put, I found the highest standards that could be located or purchased, and we have taken those standards and elevated them to the preeminent level I was hoping existed, but could not find. That is why our guarantees are the strongest you'll find anywhere. (If you find better guarantees please let me know!) To use a metaphor your best friends mind is like clay, it can be molded into any masterpiece the time is taken to create. We simply are making the best start to the ultimate masterpiece that can be. Puppies are born deaf and blind but with their noses wide open! We immediately start associating smells, tastes, physical contact, and all environmental inputs with them so that when their eyes open they associate what they see with the smells and taste we have embedded in their memories. When they can hear, we ring a bell to associate the sound with the taste smell and sight. For example a little smell then a drop of gravy on their tongue and then as they grow every time we ring the bell and give them a treat they associate the sound of a ring bell with something good! Building on that, when it's time to go outside for potty training we ring the bell by the back door and they all come running. By the time they're 6 weeks old, all the puppies are hurling themselves out of the doggie door into the backyard for potty training. We take special care to do many hours of sensory input including loud noises, car rides, submersing the body up to the neck in water, and too many more examples to list. This method embeds memories that definitely affect behaviors later in life, such as not to be startled at loud noises, perhaps to become a swimming dog, and too many more to list. I'm against crate training, specifically using a crate with metal bars especially over long periods of time. We do recommend a soft crate however because dogs are den animals that need a dark quiet safe place as a refuge. Ultimately all of our dogs and all of our babies are in the bed with us every night snoring in our ear cuddling against our neck, heartbeat to heart beat, breath to breath, and we wouldn't have it any other way! Unlike other breeders who may have nine females, kept in a kennel, and puppies may or may not get some attention or touch; these super special rarities here share our life, and ARE our life! My parents were dog breeders of Irish setters I literally was going to AKC shows while I was in diapers. I thought it was quite normal for everyone to have dogs around them and be consumed in their life with dogs and everything about them. We had dachshunds as indoor pets and later in life I was a breeder of Labradors for decades, with amazing success. When by chance I came back to the Dachshund breed I realized what I had been missing, and I've been faithful to them ever since. Dachshunds have personalities bigger than any dog I've ever met. They're not for everyone but for those who understand that for such a small dog they have the largest personality that can be found of any dog, there's no other that will do. We absolutely love to show off and welcome you to come to our home and meet the family and catch this infectious passion!! What we do, the whole process, is an absolute work of love. Now for the next couple of months we expect to get very little sleep, but in the end the Mommy and Daddy's who send us back photos, videos, amazing stories, and who compliment us on how different and absolutely wonderful their new family members are, they make everything we do worth it. I could care less about the money, the real reward is the former mentioned and especially when it is noticed by all you know and meet, that you have something special that can be plainly be beheld but more so sensed. Rock Stars everywhere we go is a compliment I hold dearly from a member of our extended family. Please pour over our web site and see why you cannot find this anywhere else. Good luck, and God bless.
