When you have been breeding Dachshunds as long as we have, you face the reality of needing to put adults up for adoption.  This is probably the most difficult part of being a breeder.  We do not rehome them because  we are tired of them or don't want them anymore.  We rehome them because we wish a better life where they can be the only dog or one of just a few pets.  We love every animal in our household but we have to split our attention among many. 

There are a variety of circumstances where we must find an adult a new home.  Some are just not meant to be breeders, some are not the breeding quality we desire (this does not detract from their pet quality though), some may have a health issue where they cannot be bred, some may have been sold as puppies and then later returned to us, and some are our retired breeders.  We only breed females until they are 4-5 years old so they have many more years of quality life once they have finished their breeding career.

We currently have 13 Dachshunds that are retired breeders and our lifetime companions.  We also have a pet Beagle, a Weimaraner, and a couple Dachshunds that we took in as rescues or that had health issues where rehoming was not an option.    All of these will stay here with us forever. 

We try our best to match the temperament of the dog to the home that they go to.  It is much harder to place an adult dog than a puppy and that is why we take extra precautions and may ask lots of questions.  Although, we welcome them to come back here we want the new home to work for them.   If we do not find one a home then we love and care for them as all of our family pets.

Adults that are rehomed will be spayed/neutered before leaving and have a dental cleaning.  They will be up to date on vaccinations, have a current Rabies tag, be microchipped with prepaid registration, be parasite free, and have a negative heartworm test within the last 6 months.  All of our dogs are kept current on heartworm/flea preventative.  Our Adoption fees range from $100-$300 depending on the age of the dog.
