15 AKC Champion Wirehairs

Ch Vindachs Queen of Diamonds MS

We are members of:

We usually have between 4 and 5 litters a year producing 15-20 pups. While some do end up in the show ring most end up as a loving family companion including those who obtain their AKC championship. Our primary goal is to maintain dachshunds who are physically and mentally sound and are a joy to be around. Occasionally, we have a few adults who would make some family a great companion.

Why should I purchase a purebred AKC Dachshund from show lines, I only need a pet? This is a common question we get from people interested in a dachshund for a pet. Breeders put a lot of thought in each breeding. Producing a desirable pup is not an accident. Breeding try to utilize parents that have a minimum of poor qualities and an abundance of good qualities. An ideal dachshund should be physically sound, have a good temperament with a minimum of genetic problems. This can only be accomplished on a consistent basis, where the breeder has a good knowledge of both the sire's and dam's family history. Pups usually are no better than the genetic material supplied to them. I can't say it enough, good pups come from quality parents. To insure that these pedigrees (family tree), are accurate AKC can check breeders records. Within the last ten years, AKC has required breeders to have there males used for stud to have a DNA profile, thus pups sired by a male can be traced genetically back to this sire. Use of pedigrees for breeding information is not useful if the pedigree is incorrect.

Generally, pups produced from these quality ancestors are not any more expensive than those found in pet stores. All our pups which are sold as pets receive a limited AKC application, a contract which discusses health guarantees, feeding schedules, health records and price. The contract also requires that the pup be either spayed or neutered at the appropriate age.

Dachshunds come in several coats types: smooth, long or wirehair. We only breed smooth and wire coats. If you are interested in longhaired coats, you might visit with Amanda Hodges at:

Most of our dachshund come in black and tan or red colors. We do have an occasional dapple or brindled patterned pup. We occasional have an adult male or female available as a pet.
