Goodfellow Kennels
Welcome to Goodfellow Kennels!
Home of top quality miniature dachshunds.
Miniature Dachshunds
"Wiener dogs," "sausage dogs," or "hot dogs?" "Dox-und" or "dash-hound?" No matter what you want to call them, these bold little dogs make excellent companions and fierce competitors!
Miniature dachshunds come in three coat types: smooth-haired, long-haired, and wire-haired. They usually weigh between 8 to 11 pounds and come in a wide variety of colours/patterns. Miniature dachshunds were originally bred down from their larger counterparts (standard dachshunds), in order to hunt quarry living in narrow burrows.
I have had the pleasure of growing up with this breed. In my 29 years, I have been the proud owner of four of these little rascals (Zoe, Heidi, Sophie, and Phoebe). They are my favourite breed and I strive to become one of the top breeders of miniature dachshunds, here on Furry-Paws.
Our goal is to establish an excellent line of miniature dachshunds from the ground up, starting with 12 males and 12 females from the store.
Our dogs are:
- fed, watered, groomed, and kept comfortable to keep their condition at 100% at all times.
- primarily trained in earthdog trials.
- entered in 50 competitions each day.
- trained daily.
- bred on day 110.
- never bred below level 20.
- bred to enhance their genetics, with the goal being 4E and 24HH.
- are not bred for colours/patterns at this time.
Our dogs will not be available for breeding or sale at this time.
