Puppies
Longhair dachshund information. Most people are more familiar with smooth coated dachshunds (short hair) but there are a lot of good things about longhairs that people might not know. The temperament
of longs is supposed to be more mellow and laid back than smooths, and we have found that to be generally true. Longhairs don't shed much, in fact they probably shed less than smooths. Longhairs do not have an undercoat, so they don't shed in the spring. Longs feel softer. Longs don't really need all that much grooming to keep them looking good. A little brushing once a week does just fine, and if you don't brush them at all, they still look good. Longs tend to accept the cold Wisconsin winter temperatures better than smooths. There is one thing about longs though that is not as good. They do have a tendency to pick up burrs more easily than smooths, but they are so cute they can be forgiven that one little problem.

Ellie Mae's puppies and both the parents are PIEBALDS. (That is the spotted cow look) In dachshunds, piebald is not a color, it is a pattern. That means that white isn't even mentioned when referring to their color, even though the puppies are more white than anything else. The puppies in this litter should be ready for their new homes about September 30th.
Alex is Ellie Mae and Bogie's first born. Alex is a very dark red in color. It looks like he is going to be a wirehair. Alex is no longer available, because he decided to make his forever home with Nancy and Dan in St. Charles, Illinois. He is happy that he will have a lab and another wirehaired dachshund to play with.
Austin is one of Ellie Mae and Bogart's puppies. He is a lighter red and should end up looking quite a bit like his mother. They both have quite a bit of ticking (the freckled look) It looks like Austin will be a smooth coat like his mother. He is the most active puppy in the litter. Austin is available with Limited AKC Registration (pet) for $500.
Augie. Is one of Ellie Mae and Bogart's puppies. He is a lighter red like his mother. It looks like Augie will be a wirehair like his dad. Augie is available with Limited AKC Registration (pet) for $500.
Artie is chocolate/tan in color, like his dad Bogart. It looks like he will be a smooth coat, and not have ticking. Artie and his sister Angel have decided to stay together and take over the home of Jim, Sandra, and Ann in Schofield, Wisconsin. He is also looking forward to having fun with Molly, their English Bulldog.
Annabelle. She is a light red in color. It looks like she will be a smooth coat. Annabelle says she is NOT afraid of Hodags, so she wants to move to Rhinelander with Amanda and Joe when she gets older.
Angel and Artie have a lot in common. She is also chocolate/tan in color. It looks like Angel will also be a smooth coat. Angel thinks it is going to be great fun to go to her new home in Schofield, Wisconsin with her brother Artie. Sandra, Jim, and Ann probably think they will be in charge, but she is planning on teaming up with Molly their English Bulldog, and with Artie's help the humans won't have a chance. (she looks inocent in picture #1, but look at #2.....she is practicing being the top dog)
Here are Ellie Mae's puppies as they were being born. I tried to get a picture of the puppies as each new puppy was added to the pile, and yet wait until the puppy was dried off and looking pretty good. Normally that would have been hard to do, but these puppies were spaced out between 20 minutes and an hour between births, so it was possible.
These pictures were taken September 1st.
Sassy has been the alpha female around here since we got her. Ellie Mae, however, thinks that she would like that position. There have been a few skirmishes between the two and Sassy has always come out on top, but mother dogs get pretty possessive about their puppies and we weren't sure how it would work out having Sassy's and Ellie Mae's puppies right next to each other in the living room. So far they are staying away from their rival's puppies and things have been peaceful.
Sassy's puppies are both solid colors. They should be ready for their new homes about October 6th.
Mitch is Sassy and Chopper's puppy. There is quite a variation in the color called "red" in dachshunds. A dog could be dark brown almost chocolate color, or a very light almost cream color and both would be called red. In Mitch's case, he is kind of a medium brown color, but Chopper's puppies sometimes get lighter as they get older, so it's hard to say for sure what color he will end up. It looks like Mitch will be a smooth (short hair). Mitch is available with Limited AKC Registration (pet) for $500.
Those 3 are the puppies that we have available at this time. The next 5 already have picked out their new homes.
Maddie Is one of Sassy's puppies. She is a very light cream color. Her dad, Chopper, specializes in light cream puppies.Maddie will be a longhair. When she is older, she is planning on being a big part of Tony's family in Monroe, Wisconsin.
