Individual Dogs/Older Pups Available to Approved Pet Homes
Last Updated 02/05/12 
We occasionally have available for sale older individual dogs which do not fit into our breeding program or who are retired from the show ring.  Some dogs sold as pets are already spayed or neutered but those that are not MUST be spayed or neutered by their new owners before any AKC registration papers will be sent.   For serious inquiries, contact Sandy at (225) 629-5067, or MRUSSEL1@IX.NETCOM.COM 



PLEASE CONSIDER US, TOO, WHEN LOOKING FOR A LOVING PET.  WE MAY BE OLDER, BUT WE'RE EITHER HOUSE-BROKEN ALREADY, OR MUCH EASIER TO HOUSE-BREAK THAN A TINY PUPPY.  WE LOVE PEOPLE, TRAVEL WELL IN THE CAR, WALK ON LEAD, STAY QUIETLY IN OUR CRATES, AND HAVE HAD ALL OF OUR SHOTS. 

WE CRAVE INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION  - PLEASE GIVE US A HOME  OF OUR OWN!
 
  "BREEZY"- already spayed - has field points - available to a performance home (preferred) or a very active pet home for free  

Duchwood's EZ Breezy Covergirl MS (field points - needs just a 1st place to finish her field championship) 
(Ch. Duchwood's Captain Gavin MS x Lisego Nosa Byaki-Buki)  

Date of Birth:  June 11, 2009  

Breezy is an adorable, VERY BUSY, little girl who only weighs around 8.5 lb.  The photo of her standing was the closest we got to her being still and as you can see, 2 feet are off the ground.  Breezy went to a pet home at 4 months of age, but was crated all day when her owner was at work, received inadequate exercise in the evening, and ended up being a resentful, destructive, little bundle of energy (who can blame her?).  We are glad she was returned to us so we can find her a more appropriate home who understands her need for exercise.  She would be a perfect jogging partner, agility prospect, or would be happy in a home with a yard and another active Dachshund to help wear her out.  She LOVES everyone, loves to travel, and is crate-trained (has never messed in her crate as long as we have had her back - at times crated up to 9 hours at night).  She loves to hunt and will take off to go hunting, so she needs a very secure yard.  The light bulb went on at her first field trial, and she now has several placements and only needs a first place to finish her field championship. This is a delightful little girl who loves to play with other dogs and is very food- and toy-oriented.  In one session, she figured out the full-size dog walk and the A-frame, and didn't even notice the bang on the low teeter.  This would be an awesome agility dog.  She is available to an active, involved pet or performance (preferred) home for free.  Shipping to any part of the country is $300.  
 

   "PATTI" 
Duchwood's Cow Patti MS 
(Admindac's Almond Joy MScp (ch. pts.) x Dual Ch. Duchwood's Beach Babe MS)   

Date of Birth:  July 5, 2007   

Patti is a small, silly, very lively, friendly girl who needs an active pet home.  She is a lovely dark, chocolate/tan with brown eyes, not the usual green eyes that many chocolates have.  Her conformation is nice but she needs more rear angles so we never showed her.  She had 2 litters and we are keeping a daughter and son, so now Patti needs a home of her own.  When she gets excited, she makes these funny leaps on her hind legs.  She gets along with the other dogs but is definitely a bossy girl.  She would probably do well in agility and the field.  She is available to a loving home for $150 (includes cost of spay/dental).  Shipping to any part of the country is $300.

   "REGGIE"
Duchwood's Regimental Renegade MS
(Ch. Duchwood's Quasar MS x Grandgables Claire of Duchwood)

Date of Birth:  November 12, 2009

Reggie is a beautiful, light red boy with a darling personality.  He quickly warms up to people and gives little kisses.  He also "talks" to you if he feels he is being ignored.  He's a playful, affectionate boy and gets along with all the other dogs, but he has no interest in hunting whatsoever, which is very un-Dachshund-like.  He'd rather play with toys and cuddle and go for walks, but has no interest in running free in the woods or fields (as a matter of fact, the very idea horrifies him!).  His conformation is gorgeous and he's a stunning mover, but he is rather large for a show dog at 13 lb., and he has a brown nose and nails that the judges don't seem to like, so he is available to a wonderful pet home for $200 (includes cost of neuter).  He is crate-trained and leash-trained, and likes to travel.  Shipping to any part of the country is $300.

    "BOBBI" 
Duchwood's Bobbi Sox MS 
(Ch. Duchwood's Red Alert MS x Duchwood's On The Dark Side MS) 

Date of Birth:  February 2, 2010 

Bobbi is a TINY (6 1/2 lb), adorable, very active red girl who loves little children.  When excited, she lifts her upper lip and "smiles".  She is crate-trained, leash-trained, and loves to travel.  She gets along fine with all other dogs.  This affectionate little girl needs a family of her own.  She likes men and will bond very tightly to one person.  She is available as a pet for $200 which includes the cost of spaying.  Shipping to any part of the country is $300.

    
"MISS KITTY"  
Duchwood's Miss Kitty MS- free to a good home 
(Ch. Lisego Nosa Vitamin Yu x Duchwood's Cow Patti MS) 

Date of Birth:  June 14, 2010 

We had been hanging onto Miss Kitty for show, but her topline is too soft.  She is a small, cute, very lively girl who can be affectionate and silly (loves belly rubs), but is definitely timid in new situations. She loves playing with my Border Collie but is too dominant for dogs smaller than she is.  Miss Kitty is rather weird in that she freezes when anyone reaches for her, but will not bite, so I would even trust her with kids.   She seems very unsure about accepting affection and sits stiffly in your lap despite extensive socialization and loving, but will come up to you on her own if you are sitting on the ground and roll over for a belly rub or lean against you.  Miss Kitty is gamey and likes to hunt.  She really needs lots of one-on-one attention and would do good in a quiet home with another, more confident dog and with an owner who is very understanding and patient.  She is leash-trained, crate-trained, and travels well.  She is available as a pet for free (new owner will have to spay her).  Shipping to any part of the country is $300.

   "AUDREY" 
Duchwood's Hurricane Audrey MS 
(Ch. Grandgables The Gladiator MS x Ch. Duchwood's After Dark MS) 

Date of Birth:  August 29, 2005 (born during Hurricane Katrina) 

Audrey is a healthy, active, friendly girl with a cute "hunter's crest" up her nose.  She did not turn out to be either a show dog or a producer (1 litter), so she needs to find a home of her own where she wil not be just one of the crowd.  She travels well, loves to cuddle, and gets along with everyone.  She is available as a pet for $150 (includes cost of spay and dental) and shipping to any part of the country is $300.

  "Miss Piggy" - available as a pet or show dog after her first litter born in early February 2012 is weaned 

Duchwood's Miss Piggy MS 
(Ch. Lisego Nosa Vitamin Yu x Duchwood's Cow Patti MS)  

Date of Birth:  June 14, 2010  

Miss Piggy was a very fat puppy which is how she got her name.  She has now slimmed down (weighs around 10 1/2 lb.) and her name no longer fits her so her new family can name her anything they want.  She is an active, happy girl who is fine with people and other dogs.  She is just stunning when stacked in a show pose, but is just a mediocre mover, so we are keeping her sister, Miss Daisy, instead.  Miss Piggy is crate- and leash-trained and loves to travel.  She is available to a loving pet home for $200 (includes cost of spay) and shipping to any part of the country is $300.

  "Cerise" 

Ch. Duchwood's Certainly Cerise MS, field pts. 
(Ch. Duchwood's Count Cameron MS x Ch. Duchwood's Morning Light MS)  

Date of Birth:  March 15, 2006 

We are devastated that our gorgeous, silly, sweet Cerise cannot give us any puppies.  She was our only intact piebald champion.  She had to be spayed due to pyometra, so we have decided to try to find her a very special pet home while she is still young.  As you can see in the picture, her tail is never still.  She gets along fine with all dogs and most people, but does not care for small kids.  She is a snuggler and loves toys.  Cerise is available to a special home for $150 (includes cost of a dental).  Shipping to any part of the country is $300.

  "TASSEL" 
Duchwood's Little Tassel MS 
(Ch. Add-Sim's Johnny Be Good of Saytar x Duchwood's Sophisticated Lady MS)   

Date of Birth:  May 1, 2008   

Tassel is a very tiny (maybe 6 1/2 lbs.) red girl who is just too adorable.  She is very friendly and active and stays thin despite eating almost 2 cups of food a day.  She was too tiny to show, but gave us 4 lovely puppies.  She now needs a loving lap and would make anyone a good pet.  She is good in her crate, gets along fine with other dogs, and loves to travel.  Tassel is available to a good pet home for $200 which will include the cost of a spay and dental.  Shipping to any part of the country is $300.

   "KENO"  
Duchwood's Keystone MS 
(Admindac's Almond Joy MSCP x Bonlon's Houston Dixie Chique) 

Date of Birth:  December 16, 2007 

Keno is a dark chocolate/tan doll with dark eyes - so sweet and affectionate and wants to be a lap dog.  He just has not turned out for show so he is available as a pet (will be neutered here first) for $150 to a loving pet or performance home.  I think he would be a great agility dog - I have had him doing small jumps and the dog walk and he is always on top of his dog house.  He is eager to please and loves to travel, although he is a little timid at first around strangers and not used to children (he won't bite), so he should go to a home with either no kids or older ones.  Keno gets along fine with the other dogs and is quite playful and active.  This is not a dog for an apartment unless he can go on long walks or jogs a couple of times a day.  He is a muscular boy who weighs around 13 lb.  Shipping to any part of the country is $300. 
 

     "TIMBER" - available to a performance home only! 

Duchwood's Good Timber MS 
(Duchwood's Ramsey The Rake MS x Ch. Duchwood's Secular Sonnet MS) 

Date of Birth:  August 24, 2007 

Timber is a truly gorgeous boy with incredible conformation, but he is also a very BIG boy at 15 lb., so we cannot show him successfully although he has some nice class wins at specialties.  He is the sweetest guy with a lovable personality who loves everyone and loves belly rubs.  I have been doing agility with him and he seems to enjoy it just like his brother, Tango.   He did great at his first Novice Agility trial.  He's a big mush puppy who loves to cuddle, too.  I really hate to place him but I just have too many boys.  Timber is avalable to a really special performance home for $250 and will be neutered here first.

       "CELINE" - On Hold, deposit received - going to a pet home in Texas 
Duchwood's Eyes On Me MS (ch. pts.) 
(Duchwood Halls Creek Doxology x Halls Creeks Decking The Halls) 

Date of Birth:  September 9, 2007 

Celine is a big girl (14 lb. "tweenie") who is just too big to finish her championship and breed even though she has a few champion points and she loves to hunt.  She is a gorgeous girl and very sweet, although she is somewhat shy with strangers.   She is very affectionate, squishy, and cuddly, but if scared and cornered by strangers, she will bite.  She needs a loving lap of her own, though, and should go to a home with no small children.  She gets along fine with other dogs and is crate-trained and leash-trained.  Celine is available for $150 (includes cost of spay and dental).  Shipping to any part of the country is $300.
