Huntingtons Miniature Dachshunds
About Us
Thank you for coming to Huntingtons Miniature Dachshunds, a Canadian Kennel Club registered home of a few happy dachshunds.
They have all been tested - 1 year or older - and certified clear by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals for Cardio and Patella.They have also been tested by Animal Genetics to see if they are affected by PRA-cord1. We are currently working on having the adults tested by a Veterinary Ophthalmologist to receive their CHIC certification.
Our first dachshund - and after the second - brought us so much happiness, that we wanted others to have the same opportunity to experience, by giving them a chance to have a healthy, happy dachshund puppy from us. When we started looking for a family companion, it was surprisingly very hard to find a quality puppy. That's when I decided that there has to be a better way to raise these little darlings than what I saw.
Our little dachshunds are lovable family companions with excellent health.
If you are looking for quality dachshunds contact us for availability.
We occasionally have smooth and long coat miniature dachshunds in a variety of colors and patterns.
Our dachshunds are raised with lots of love and attention,with optimal health in mind. They have quality playtime inside, and outside as well, where they can do what dachshunds do best. Enjoy the sunshine, chase a ball, an occasional bird or just run around for fun. The puppies are born in my bedroom and handled daily. We also start socializing them early so they can have the best start in life.
My mother and I spend our every waking hour attending to our dogs. When you pick up your pup at 8 weeks, you will see the personality and temperament of that puppy. You will take home a sweet little pup that had a good start in life. They start out with a clean slate. However, the rest is up to you. We have a window of 3-16 weeks. You will have another 8 weeks to raise that pup to be a respectful, smart, obedient dog. If the puppy won't turn out to be respectful, smart, obedient, don't blame your breeder. Raising a puppy is a lot of work, require commitment. Sometimes you have to hire a trainer, if you can't do it yourself. Most of the time, people need help how to to train a dog properly.
Please note one thing for sure... an 8-week-old puppy is not aggressive. They haven't got an aggressive bone in their body. The first time a puppy plays, it's with his/her mother. They bite her tail, they bite her ears, they bite her lips. When she has enough, she will correct them with a little growl. They won't play with mom too long, after they play with each other. Biting each other's tail, ears etc. Until they have no teeth, it's fine, but after it hurts, so lots of chew toys needs to be provided.They may appear to play rough with each other, biting each other's tail, ears even growling, but that does not mean that they will grow up to be aggressive dogs. If you adopt two puppies, or you have another one at home, this behavior can be discouraged, and redirected to an appropriate toy. Especially if you have an older dog at home already. He/she may not appreciate a young one chewing her tail and biting her ears. You have to - again - train your puppy properly and socialize your puppy every day to make sure he or she will grow up to be an obedient dog. Ask for help. Don't wait until it's too late. I can recommend fantastic trainers in our area for future reference.
