Helping new and prospective people to the longhaired
miniature dachshund with information is one of our goals. Whether on the phone,
at a Northwest all-breed show or specialty, or now on the internet, we enjoy
talking about dogs and dachshunds in particular!. For new, old, and
perhaps future friends in this delightful, dashing and dapper breed, our website
exchanges information about our longhaired miniature dachshunds, future
breeding and show prospects, and reminisce about our foundation dogs of Calista.
Contact us about the occasional availability of a home
raised and trained young adult or an adult dog that will make a great family
pet.
We are enjoying the shows in 2009. While at National Miniature Dachshunds'
Mini Roundup under breeder judge Robbie Lloyd we received an Award of Merit. The
following day at the Greater Portland Dachshund Club Specialty under breeder
judge Cyndy Senff, we received another Award of Merit on AM/CAN/INTL CH JOSKIP"S
EXCALIBUR MLCR "Kalan".
We are looking forward to puppies from the breeding of Joskip's A Date To
Remember ML "Dylan" and CH Calista's Combined Assets ML "Carlin". Dylan was
Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best Bred By Exhibitor at Mini Roundup and GPDC
Specialty. I have been looking for the right dog to breed Carlin to for a couple
of years and Dylan is gorgeous. Not only do these two have the phenotype and
genotype to compliment each other, but this will be another step where we use
the results of our AHT-PRA testing; we are breeding a "clear" to a "carrier".
All of the offspring will need to be tested, but we are hoping that this
breeding will result in some show quality "clear" puppies.
Sincerely,
