Thank you so much for expressing interest in one of our standard Dachshund puppies. We
take breeding very seriously and it’s our desire to place our puppies in happy, lifetime
homes. Please take the time to answer the questions below as thoroughly as possible. This
questionnaire is designed to help us get to know you better and allow us to place the correct
puppy in your home if you are a suitable match for one of our puppies. Because we are a
small show home we will be keeping some of the puppies until they are a bit older so we can
watch them mature and choose who we will be keeping.
