Breed: Dachshund | Member Since 12/4/2007
We are active breeder/exhibitors. We often have a special in the national breed rankings most years. In 2015, our GCH Kinderteckel's Lancelot was #5 smooth dachshund in the country (breed). Six other dogs of our breeding finished their AKC championships in 2015, and champions of our breeding in Russia and Europe had very nice wins and titles, as well. We are serious breeders who exhibit at our national breed specialty show and Westminster. We do not have a "kennel" and only keep "house dogs." I do not keep more dogs in my house than we can properly maintain and love, but we have finished AKC championships on over 40 dogs of our own breeding over the past fifteen years, finished many others from outside breeders, and have points/majors on a few others of our breeding that are out in show homes. My dogs can easily go between show ring and soccer games, since they are well socialized, well bred dogs. My dogs have both AKC conformation titles and, with some owned by people who do performance events, performance titles. The second dachshund in this country to be awarded the new Barn Hunt title is an AKC Grand Champion of my breeding, and he also has Earth Dog titles. Dogs of my breeding have gone Absolute at large competitive field trials. Don't believe the hyperbole put out by breeders who don't want to breed for proper conformation...AKC show dogs have been bred for centuries to hunt, and show dogs can still hunt!!! Form follows function.
At the 2012 AKC Eukanuba National Championship in Orlando, Florida, our 2 year old red smooth standard female went Best Opposite Sex to Best of Breed (to the #1 smooth dachshund in the country) and also Best Smooth Bred By Exhibitor. She was also honored at our nationals in 2013 for being the #9 Smooth in the country for 2012. In 2009, a different one-year-old smooth champion, who is a much-loved pet in her "other life" in a local pet home, won the 1st Award of Excellence at Eukanuba. This qualifies her for entrance into the Crufts show in England. She also did very well at Westminster, even though she was the youngest dachshund in breed competition. We had Winners Dog at our nationals in 2014, plus numerous other awards with other dogs in competition that week. Our dogs have attended Crufts and the World Show.
I've bred two ROMX (DCA Register of Merit Excellent Top Producers)and just had my favorite "bed dog" Lily qualify for the highest level of DCA Register of Merit possible... ROMO (DCA Register of Merit Outstanding). Only thirteen smooth dachshund females in history have ever done this. We also have two additional ROMX qualifiers (bred by Judy Anderson and Sara Sewall) in our home.
I am extremely careful when it comes to letting a promising puppy go to a potential show home. I need to get to know you well, so we can build a relationship as co-owners. Please contact me for more information regarding a potential show prospect. Co-ownership is the norm with responsible breeders who let show prospects go to outside homes.
Not every puppy is a true show prospect, no matter how well planned the litter. If you just want a great looking, well bred representative of the breed, I do let pets go on spay/neuter contracts only, to well qualified homes.
