Check out my friend, Janet Welch's blog spot at http://www.welchdachshunds.blogspot.com/ She has very nice miniature dachshunds and their personalities are so sweet.

These are Bailey and Oliver's puppies. 12 days old. The black and tan , on the left, is a female and the 2 males are reds. They are all available at this time. Please email Janet Welch at doxieluv@volstate.net if interested in purchasing any of these babies.

Dachshund Colors
Did you know that there are more color/coat combinations available in dachshunds than in any other breed? Sometimes having so many options makes a decision even more difficult. Aesthetics, or eye appeal, is an important consideration, but should be secondary to personality.
The colors available in dachshunds are:
Red, Black & Tan, Solid Black, Black & Cream, Blue & Tan, Chocolate, Chocolate & Tan, Cream, Fawn (Isabella) & Tan, Wheaten, Wild Boar
The patterns available in dachshunds are:
Brindle, Brindle Piebald, Dapple, Double Dapple, and Piebald
Add to the mix the three coat types and the two sizes, standard and miniature, and the list of possibilities is mind-boggling!

Choosing a puppy...
Coat Type
You probably already know which coat type you prefer, but did you know that each coat type also has its own distinct personality traits? It's fun to learn about the differences and maybe one day you'll be adventuresome and try something new.

Smooth coat is the most common. It is especially popular in the southern states because of the summer heat. The smooth coat is virtually care free...just an occasional bath is all that is needed. A smooth coated dachshund is playful and loving.

Wire coat can range from soft and curly to stiff and spiky. Both coats can be left as is, plucked by hand (such as wire dachshunds shown in competition), or shaved. It's really just your preference. The wire coat sheds very little. They are the clown of the dachshund world. They are feisty, amusing, playful and protective.

Long coat is the regal, elegant look. They do shed somewhat, but with occasional brushing it is minimal. Their temperament is usually softer, extremely loving, and very sensitive to your moods.

New Puppies born 9/11/07

Our red miniature LH dachshund, Bailey, gave birth to 3 healthy pups on 9/11/07. 2 males and 1 female. The female is going to our breeder and the 2 little males will be for sale. They should be ready to go to their new home by late October, 2007. The dame is a red LH mini {weighed 6lbs 9 oz at the time of breeding} and the sire is a choc and tan LH mini {Oliver, from Welch Dachshunds in Dayton, TN weighs around 10 lbs} so the babies shoud stay small. All the babies are healthy and nursing well and we hold each of them daily.
