Hi! I would like to tell you a little bit about us. We are dog lovers of long hair miniature dachshunds. We got our first black and tan miniature dachshund almost 10 years ago. That is all she wrote.

I live with my family about 15 min. from Little Rock, Arkansas. I have a wonderful husband, 3 children and 3 fur kids. I raise my puppies for family pets.

If you are considering one of our puppies please do some research  BEFORE you purchase. Not every breed will fit into your lifestyle or family. Don't go by looks alone.

We were given  a variety of animals by God. He also gave us the responsibility to take care of them. Please do not purchase a puppy on the spur of the moment. Please consider carefully, because your puppy will be a long-term family member. The puppy will require a lot of attention and love . But they will be definitely worth it.

DOG TREAT RECIPES FROM ME TO YOU!!!!!

Mouldy/spoiled foods

Alcohol - serious intoxications have occurred when dogs have been given alcohol to drink as a "joke". Also, dogs seem to be attracted to alcoholic drinks, so drinks should not be left unattended.

Yeast bread dough - yeast from homemade bread produce alcohol-ingestion of raw yeast dough can result in serious alcohol intoxication. Additionally, there is a risk of bloat and gastrointestinal obstruction from the dough as it rises in the stomach.

Coffee grounds, beans & tea - caffeine is a no-no for dogs, as it acts as a stimulant and can cause severe heart acceleration and seizures

Hops (used in home brewing)

Tomato leaves & stems (green parts):  a Nightshade plant, tomatoes contain trace elements of nicotine, mostly concentrated in the leaves and stems

Cooked Bones - bones become brittle in the cooking process and splinter when broken. These splinters have sharp edges that can rupture/puncture the stomach lining. Amongst the most dangerous cooked bones are ham bones, pork chop, chicken and turkey legs

Raisins and grapes

Cigarettes, tobacco, cigars
