Individual Dogs/Older Pups Available to Approved Pet Homes
Last Updated 04/29/08

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!
 
  

Field Ch. Duchwood's Celtic Courage MS - "Aidon" (5 champion bench points) - Free to a good home  

Date of Birth:  July 18, 2000 (microchipped) 

Aidon has been neutered for quite awhile now.  He does not start fights with my other dachshunds but he will definitely join in and hang on once a fight starts, so he needs to find a loving home where he will either be by himself or with a spayed female or another neutered male.  He's fine with big dogs.  He is currently living in a run with 2 intact males and gets along just fine with both of them.  Aidon is very sweet and friendly and LOVES people, though, whether they are young or old, short or tall, or male or female.  He would make a fabulous therapy dog for nursing homes and rehab centers with a little obedience training.   

He likes to chew his nylabone or a big beef knuckle bone, but doesn't really care for stuffed toys or balls.  He's not a natural retriever.  However, his one passion is hunting, whether it's rabbits, rats, squirrels, birds, you name it.  So, he MUST have a securely fenced yard to run and chase squirrels in, because if he gets loose, you won't get him back easily or at all.  He becomes "deaf" and will hide in brush piles so you won't catch him.  Inside a fenced yard or in the house, he is very obedient. 

He is quiet inside the house and in his crate.  He loves to snuggle on the sofa or in bed, and to travel in the car.  He does not dig outside in the yard at all.  He is leash and crate-trained and is good for baths and nail cutting.  He is not really a very big boy, but he weighs 11.5 lb because he is very muscular.  Aidon will need special enzyme powder added to his food every day for life (costs about $45/year), so he is available to the right pet home for FREE.

  
"Cosmo" 

Duchwood's Cosmopolitan Man MS 
(Grandgables Claire of Duchwood MS x Ch. Duchwood's Lord Lennox MS) 

Date of Birth:  May 21, 2007  

Cosmo is an adorable, very friendly guy who is just gorgeous.  I really wish someone would show him as he LOVES dog shows, but he cannot be bred because his bite was originally incorrect.  It has corrected after some baby teeth were pulled and is now a perfect scissors, but I'm afraid he would pass his fault on to his offspring.  Cosmo is bright, clear red and will be a medium-sized boy at around 11-12 lb.  He is crate-trained and leash-trained and well-socialized.  He gets along fine with the other dogs.  He is available to a loving pet home for $250 on a neuter contract.  Shipping to any part of the country is $285.  Litter pedigree 

   "Morgen" 

Ch. Duchwood's Morning Light MS 
(FCh. Duchwood's Celtic Courage MS x Ch. Duchwood's Nutmeg MS) 
  
Date of Birth:  July 12, 2002 

Morgen is a hoot!  She is a gorgeous AKC champion who weighs 10.75 lb.  She is a very lively girl who loves everyone.  She also loves to dig and bark, but she was debarked by a former co-owner so noise is no longer a problem with her (she can be standing next to you barking and it sounds like a dog barking 2 miles away!)  She is showing an aptitude for field trials and will probably do well in earthdog, too.  She is available as a spayed pet for $150 to either a single person or an older couple who want a loving, but active, companion.  She is leash- and crate-trained and loves to travel.  She could care less if she has a doggy friend or not, but would do better with a neutered male if she had to have a companion.  She needs a yard (or sandbox) where she can dig to her heart's content.  She loves to destuff toys but is a good bed dog.  Shipping to any part of the country is $285.

    "DANA"

(Ch. Duchwood's Lord Lennox MS x Duchwood's Pillar of Stone MS)   

Date of Birth:  June 17, 2007 

Dana is a tiny girl weighing maybe only 6.5 lb.  She has a lovely shoulder assembly and lots of rear angles, but her tail set is a little low so she is not a show dog and she is too tiny to breed.  However, she will make someone a silly, outgoing pet with tons of energy.  She is never still and also loves to "talk" to you.  Dana is available to a loving pet home for $350 on a spay contract.  She is crate-trained and leash-trained.  Shipping to any part of the country is $250.

  
"Keelie" 
(Duchwood's Sylvan Hedonist MS (ch. pts.) x Duchwood's Little Niles MS)  

Date of Birth:  July 2, 2007  

Keelie is a small girl (around 7.5 lb.) with stunning conformation.  Unfortunately, her bite is incorrect for the show ring so she is available to a loving pet home for $250 on a spay contract.  She is sweet and silly but her personality is being repressed by more dominant females, so she needs a quiet home of her own with only one or two other gentle dogs who would not overwhelm her.  She is fine with people.  Shipping to any part of the country is $250.  
 

  "FINDLEY"   
(Ch. Lisego Nosa Vitamin Yu Ch. Duchwood's Red Flannel Dress MS)   

Date of Birth:  October 9, 2007   

Findley is an adorable boy with a very friendly personality.  He loves belly rubs!  He's a solid puppy who is low to the ground and who will mature under 11 lb.  We're keeping his sister as the show dog, so Findley is available to a pet home for $350 on a neuter contract. He is leash- and crate-trained.  He has a dominant personality so should go to a home with female dogs or male dogs who are bigger than him.  Shipping to any part of the country is $285.

      "DERBY"
(Ch. Duchwood's Lord Lennox MS x Duchwood's Pillar of Stone MS)   

Date of Birth:  June 17, 2007  

Derby stacks just beautifully, but he moves with a slightly uneven topline, so sadly, he is not a show dog.  He is a quiet, but playful, boy who is friendly to people and dogs.  He is leash-trained but not crate-trained yet.  He is available to a pet home for $300 on a neuter contract.  Shipping to any part of the country is $285.

  "WIDGET" 
DUCHWOOD'S WIDGET MS 
(Ch. Duchwood's Buyonegetonefree MS x Ch. Duchwood's After Dark MS) 

Date of Birth:  May 20, 2006 

Widget, also known as "Widgy Wooners", is a squishy girl with lots of loose skin and blubber.  She's been on a diet and is looking better now but she does love her food!  She is a cuddly, sweet girl who is already spayed.  She is a less active, quieter dog who could probably get along by herself although she's fine with the other dogs except at feeding time.  She likes carrying around her toy rubber tire.  She is leash-trained and crate-trained and travels well.  Widget is available to a loving pet home for $250.  Shipping to any part of the country is $250.

   "OLIVIA" 

(Admindac's Almond Joy MScp (ch. pts.) x Duchwood's Mighty Sprite MS)  

Date of Birth:  July 11, 2007   

Olivia is a doll.  She's little but sturdy and her conformation is lovely.  I just happen to like her sister, Orca, a little more for show, so Olivia is available to a pet home on a spay contract for $275.  Shipping to any part of the country is $250.

  "Shelly" 
Duchwood's Shell Game MS 
(Admindac It's Hardly Done x Duchwood's May In Milan MS) 

Date of Birth:  October 24, 2005 - microchipped  

Sadly, we have to sell my precious Shelly as a pet.  She is a stunning girl who weighs just under 11 lb.  She is drop dead gorgeous and we had high hopes for her as a show dog.  She has a dynamite personality and gets along just fine with all people and dogs.  Her right rear leg suddenly developed a very slight bow (can't really see it unless it is pointed out)  within the last few months, and she kicks out slightly with that leg when moving.  She could still be shown and would finish her championship fast, but bows are hereditary, and we can't breed her.  She is available to a special pet home for $250 on a spay contract.  Shipping to any part of the country is $275. 
 

   "Graham" 

Duchwood Halls Creek Doxology - free to a special home - must meet him first! 
(Ch. Duchwood's Phoenix MS x Ch. Applehil Count Your Blessings) 

Date of Birth:  July 11, 2005 

Graham is a "tweenie" and looks like a small standard.  He weighs 16 lb. and is lovely conformation -wise.  He was part of a standard piebald breeding program that I started with a co-owner (his dam was a standard and his sire was a large mini).  He was never shown because he is terrified of men, period.  We did not get Graham back from his co-owner until he was over a year old, and he was already like this when we got him.  In over a year, my husband has fed him and tried to get close to him, but Graham is still afraid of him and will not come anywhere near him (all my other dogs love my husband).  Graham likes women OK but really loves small children for some reason.  He is a sweet, affectionate boy on a one-on-one basis, and loves his bones and Kong toys.  He loves to lay on top of his doghouse with his hind legs splayed out as in the picture above.  He is free ONLY to an all-woman household who will neuter him (forcing him to accept a man in his life would be too cruel for this dog and he would probably bite if cornered by a man).  He gets along fine with the minis and my large dogs.  He is crate- and leash-trained (sort of).  I feel sorry for this sweet boy who has to spend all of his time in a small pen with one other dog because my husband can not get his hands on Graham to put him up in his crate to feed him along with all the other dogs when I am gone.  I also will not ship him as I think that would blow his mind.

   "Watson" - already neutered 

(Ch. Duchwood's Buyonegetonefree MS x Ch. Duchwood's After Dark MS) 

Date of Birth:  May 20, 2006   

Watson is a fairly small boy (9.7 lb.), who is now neutered.  He has the cutest "hunter's crest" up his nose.  He has lovely conformation but too much white on his chest to show.  He is a little timid so would do good in a home with older children and adults.  He is crate-trained and leash-trained and travels well.  His price is $175 to a loving pet home.  Shipping to any part of the country is $275.

     "Brenna" 

Duchwood's Brenna MS 
(Ch. Duchwood's Red Alert MS x Duchwood's One Crowded Hour MS) 

Date of Birth:  February 1, 2005 (microchipped) 

Brenna is a silly girl who just did not turn out for show as she is a little underangulated in the rear.  She is leash-trained, crate-trained, and travels well.  She weighs around 9-10 lb.  and is affectionate and quiet but friendly.  She is available as a pet for $150 on a spay contract or for $275 which will include the cost of spaying her here, first.  Shipping to any part of the country is $275 which includes the crate and the health certificate.

  "Ember" - has been spayed  

DUCHWOOD'S REMEMBER ME MS  
(Ch. Duchwood's Rave Review MS x Duchwood's Mighty Sprite MS) 

Date of Birth:  April 15, 2006 (microchipped)  

Ember is a tiny little girl (about 5.5 lb) with a dynamite personality.  She is a fierce little bunny hunter who killed a bunny twice her size the first time out in the field.  She would be a good field trial/earthdog prospect as well as a good obedience prospect as she is very people oriented and wants to please.  She has a slight dip in her topline when she moves, otherwise she would be a show prospect.  She loves everyone and is not afraid of big dogs.   She is spayed now and available as a pet for $250 to a loving home.  Shipping to any part of the country is $285.

 "Byron" 

Ch. Duchwood's Buyonegetonefree MS - For sale as a neutered pet    
(Ch. Duchwood Sounds of Silence MSP x Duchwood's Magic Crystal MS)   

Date of Birth:  May 14, 2004 (microchipped) 

I really love Byron, but he as been producing a disproportionately high number of pups with demodectic mange which is a genetic defect, so he is sadly available as a neutered pet for $150 (pick-up price).  Byron loves people but is a bully with younger/weaker dogs.  He does not start fights with other dogs or join in on fights, but he constantly picks on those who are weaker than him.  Thus, he either should be an only dog or should have an older, dominant female or male as a companion.   He adores his plush squeaky toys and never destuffs them.  He used to dive into the bins of stuffed toys at dog show vendors and try to carry one away.  I once let him select his own toy at a show, and he chose a stuffed yellow ducky that he then proceeded to carry all around the show site quite proudly, going up to people to show them his new toy.  He really is a darling with people although he should go to a home with children age 10 or older as he has not been raised with them.  He is very well crate- and leash-trained and loves to travel.  Byron is a big boy at around 13-14 lb. but he will make someone a stunning and very loving, silly companion.  Shipping to any part of the country is $285.

    
"WHEELER" 

(Ch. Duchwood's Buyonegetonefree MS x Ch. Duchwood's After Dark MS) 

Date of Birth:  May 20, 2006   

Wheeler is a long, lean, leggy boy who is already neutered.  He has a lovely front and rear but a slightly arched topline.  He is a little timid but warms up quickly and is a friendly boy who loves a belly rub and gives sweet kisses.  He is crate- and leash-trained and available to a pet home for $175.  Shipping to any part of the country is $285.

     "RUSTY" 
DUCHWOOD'S RUSTY NAIL MS - has been neutered 
(Admindac It's Hardly Done x Duchwood's Little Robin MS) 

Date of Birth:  July 28, 2006 

Rusty is a smallish (9.75 lb.), gorgeous, dark red boy with stunning front and rear angles who I would like to show but who does not like dog shows.  He freezes when people come up to him, but is very loving on a one-on-one basis.  He needs to go to a quiet home with either no children or older children.  He is neutered, crate-trained, leash-trained, and travels well.  He is available as a pet for $175.   Shipping to any part of the country is $285.
