Hello!  We are Clyde and Kim White, married for 41 years living in South Central PA.

 We have two children and 4 grandchildren & an outside stray cat whom I feed daily. His name is "The CAT"... He is a nice one whom someone must of dropped off.

My husband & I have retired from owning and operating a Personal Care Retirement Facility for 33-1/2 years. We are downsized to a small group under 10 while converting to small one bedroom apartments with a mini kitchen. Clyde stays busy with an established Septic Hauling business. I stay busy caring for my doxies & puppies.

I am a "motherly" type of person  who enjoys caring for people and living creatures. Several years ago I would rescue small kittens I would find outside and nurse them back to health and then find them a home. We have kept 4 in our home with us, but found homes for the other kittens, as I could not keep them all.

 We first decided to get a Dachshund for Christmas the year of 2005.

 We never owned a Dachshund before. Upon looking at the smooth coats, the lady asked if   we ever seen a "long haired" Dachshund. We never knew there were long haired dachshunds. She had a litter that were 3 weeks old. They were adorable. We picked a little girl and named her Daisey.

 Upon weekly visits to see our puppy, we noticed a little long haired red boy running around   that was really cute. The folks said he wasn't for sale. He was going to be a breeder male for   them. After two more visits the folks said, "If you still like him, he's for sale, we found   another one". So we ended up going home with "Rosco" even before we got our little girl at   8 weeks old.
So as the story goes....They were intended to be "pet's" however, I thought I might enjoy   breeding because they are so nice and lovable.

 After much research and reading about breeding, I felt I was ready to give it a try.

 Every delivery is exciting and nerve racking, hoping all goes well.

 Sadly things can go wrong in a delivery, and we loose a pup here and there, or we end up at   the emergency clinic with a c-section.

 All in all it is hard work, from birth to 8 weeks with caring and cleaning, but always   rewarding.
They love to lay in your lap and be center of attention.

 When Rosco & Daisey were grown, the vet said Rosco was too big for Daisey, so we had to   find a smaller male. So one dog lead to another, then another, then another....my Daughter   said I have the "empty nest syndrome". My nest is not empty now!

                                            ABOUT OUR DOGS

 Our dogs are our pets. It's like one huge family with lot's of kid's!
They all have different personalities, behaviors, and habit's.
My females are planned breedings, no "accident's" here.
I do not force breed my female's. If they turn the male away, then so be it.

 They are not left with the male for the entire week to be hounded constantly by the male.

 Ties with the male of choice are monitored to ensure a successful tie or not.

 Due dates are then more accurate, and I am fully aware of when pups are due.

 I do not leave the mother during labor and delivery even if it means I stay up all night. I   assist if needed. I do cut the cords, stimulate, warm, and dry the puppy. I suction, and   ensure they nurse right away on the mother.
Our female's are given their proper rest. They sit out for rest times during breeding years.

 Some of our retired breeders may become available for adoption from time to time, and 

 they make wonderful companions.

 I am very selective where my dogs go, and make sure it is a suitable placement.
Our breeding dogs are healthy, up to date on shots, and have regular wormings.

 They all have straight teeth and backs, and good temperaments. We do not have any   aggressive or biting dogs.
I have taken a pet CPR & First Aid Class, and also a lot of research and reading on whelping
and delivery before getting started.

 I feel responsible for each and every puppy that is born, and make sure it has the best I can   give.

                                           

                                          BREEDING OUR DOGS

​

 Being the most important, it is my desire to breed for temperament, and then for   conformation and color. I will not breed a Dapple to a Dapple, or a Dapple to a Piebald.
A Dapple to a Piebald is a double pattern, and you would not know how to registered it, you   can only pick one.  A Dapple bred to a Dapple makes a double dapple pattern and some pups can be born blind, deaf, or missing limbs. It is not worth the risk.
It is my desire to produce happy, healthy puppies in a home environment where they hear   every day noises such as the phone, TV,  sweeper, people talking, ect.

 Puppies are held, loved and played with to help with the adjustment to a new home.
Puppies are fully weaned and separated from Mom at 6 week's old. This helps with the
adjustment to a new home. There is nothing worse than bringing home a new puppy that is   not weened or been separated from Mom.  My puppies are also taught to go potty on pee   pads starting at 3-4 weeks. They soon learn to go "there" and not in their sleep and play   area. This will help with outside training...which they are ready for when they leave.

 I enjoy being able to offer a variety of color's, pattern's, and coat's, Everyone likes something
different, it's a matter of personal taste. I like that the "Dachshund" breed, do not all look   alike.
We offer true Miniatures, 11 lbs or less at one year of age, and Tweenies, 12 lbs to 15 lbs. at one year of age. We do not breed for standards which are 16 lbs. to 35 lbs. However some of my pups might get to 16-20 lbs. as adults as a few of my breeders are out of larger champions lines.

 I strive to better the breed by looking for quality pedigree's in my breeders. It is well worth   the wait if you want a certain color or coat for a clean, well adjusted, happy, healthy puppy!

 I spend countless hours with my dogs...a full time job that I love and enjoy very much.
