HOME RAISED MINIATURE DACHSHUNDS
If you're searching for a Miniature Dachshund Puppy, you have come to the right place! At Sassy Doxies we specialize in breeding AKC Miniature Dachshunds. We breed smooth dachshunds, long hair dachshunds, and now wirehaired puppies too. Living with us are; two black and tans, a black and tan dapple-pie, a smooth cream, two longhair creams, a wirehaired black and tan piebald, a light red piebald, a chocolate pie wirehair, AND a year old Bloodhound. When I say living with us, that is exactly what I mean. We have no kennels. These dogs are first and foremost our pampered pets. We choose to breed them because we enjoy it, and we believe we provide healthy, high quality pets with a good AKC pedigree.
We are located on a small farm near Winchester Wisconsin. It is no longer a working farm, although keeping it up is a lot of work! We have a large garden, several outbuildings that are slowly being renovated, a collapsed barn, and 7 acres of room for the dogs to run. (In case you have never heard of Winchester, we are about 12 miles west of Neenah, which is about 30 miles south of Green Bay) It is an interesting location, we are 15-18 miles from Neenah, Appleton, Oshkosh, and New London.
We take pride in breeding Doxie puppies that will become a part of your family. We treat every puppy just as if we were keeping him/her ourselves. (it does make the day when they leave us kind of sad, but we will only sell our puppies to people we believe will provide great homes for them, so that helps) Our puppies are handled and played with many times every day. (They are raised right in the middle of the livingroom.) This helps them to become loving and social dogs. The puppies also enjoy playing with our "pack" of adult dogs when they get to be 6-8 weeks old. Even Bubba, our Bloodhound, loves to play with puppies. Our puppies are sold with a health guarantee and are always current on their shots and de-worming. We want to help your new puppy make the easiest possible transition into his new home.
We would love to talk to you about your special puppy.

Here are some pictures of the dogs and our farm. We are slowly winning the battle with tall grass, weeds, and old farm buildings. (have you ever heard of Teasle? It is particularly hard to get rid of thistle like plant.) The dogs don't care. They have fun wherever they are on the property, as long as their people are with them.
Nitschke likes to take advantage of a nice day.
I don't know what this metal thing is, but it came from the barn and the dogs love to go through it. You can see Daisy Mae in one end, but there are two other dogs inside.
We planted some sunflower very late this year. Here is the first blossom. (the posing fly was an accident)
I would have liked to take a picture of the birds at the bird feeders AND the dogs, but I pretty much have to choose one or the other.
This flower (I think it is a perennial geranium) keeps coming back like a weed in the garden. Here it is in with the half drowned out potato plants. Bubba is always ready to help dig potatoes. .
The dogs........just being dogs.
These two girls are both due to have puppies soon, but that doesn't stop them from poking around in the squash. (and weeds)
There has been so much rain that the rotten boards on top of the old barn have sprouted a nice crop of weeds.
We haven't had rabbits in this building for almost a year, but Sassy still remembers and runs to the door whenever I get anywhere near the building.
If one dog finds something interesting, the others are quick to follow and investigate.
These two pictures go together. In case you don't know about Catalpa Trees........they have huge leaves,nice looking flowers in the spring, and long bean like pods that drop in the fall and spring. You would think that raking up the leaves in the fall would be a real pain, but unlike maple and oak leaves, there really isn't much too them and they completely disappear if you mow over them. The pods too don't need to be picked up as the lawn mower dissipates them nicely. (of course if you have a lawn that you keep looking like a putting green.......never mind.) Last year I saved some seeds and planted them this spring when I started the tomato and pepper plants. They grew nicely and they are planted around the farm now. I am planning on planting some more next year. If you would happen to want some seeds to start some seedlings of your own, just let me know and I will send you as many seeds as you want.
Bubba says....Come on in Bogie!!!! The water's fine!!!! And Bogie says....... No don't think so, I'll just watch.
I don't know what was so interesting in the rocks but both pregnant girls were very intrigued with something that apparently a mere human would never notice.
Remember "Where's Waldo?" Here you need to find Chopper and Peaches. Hint.....only the tails show. The water this year got so high here that it covered half the garden. This section is still too muddy to mow. The dogs think it is a prime hunting ground.
Here are Mom (Ellie Mae) and Dad (Bogart) clowning around just two days before the puppies are due. Just think what the puppies might be like from a goofy pair like this!!!!!! I did NOT pose these pictures.
