At
Morgan’s Dachshunds, we breed for quality, temperament, and
conformation. My four-legged kids are raised in-house under foot with my
three two legged kids. My goal is to consistently breed healthy dogs
with show potential. I breed longhairs exclusively. My colors consist of
red, black and tan, cream, chocolate, and Isabella. My puppies come with
a two-year guarantee to be healthy. My guarantee can be found on my web
site under policies. I have shipped to all corners of the US and parts
of Canada. All come with the shots appropriate for their age and are
wormed. I am glad to send out photos of my puppies, moms and dads. I do
not sell to pet stores!
If you are interested in a new companion, you are always welcome
to come by and see my available puppies. I have references and am glad
to give them at any time.
1. How long have you had the breed? How long have you been breeding? Why did you choose dachshunds?
2. Do you show? (Not necessary if you're looking for a pet- but if the breeder is not showing, what $ are they investing in their dogs... are they there solely to have pups & make $? Also- show breeders TEND to be more aware of dachshund issues because at shows a lot of information is exchanged & there's more of an opportunity to learn. Show people are generally more aware of what a dachshund should be structurally & genetically- lineage, etc. This tends to keep you away and hopefully limit some defects that can arise. Your breeder should know the breed inside & out- and be honest with you when questions arise.)
3. If not showing- what is the goal for their kennel/dogs? Long term... what's the plan, where do you want to be? Are you involved with any clubs? (a good breeder will be showing- or at the very least involved with a kennel club, etc... and will have focus for their dogs/kennel- and more than likely the answer from a good breeder will not be financial.
(To clarify the financial aspect... when you are TRULY involved with your dogs the $ you make can be less than the $ that goes out. If you get lucky you break even between food, bedding, shots, puppy care, a new dog now and then, and show costs- 1 weekend showing 1 dog is usually $75. My daughter and I show 2 to 3 dogs per weekend that we show... and try to show at least 1x per month.)
