 The DESCRIPTION of PIEBALD in the proposed revision to the AKC STANDARD OF THE DACHSHUND by the Dachshund Club Of America failed to pass in July 2006.  However, the SENTENCE WHICH CURRENTLY ALLOWS PIEBALDS TO BE SHOWN TO THEIR BREED CHAMPIONSHIPS STILL REMAINS in the March 2007 revised standard:
 "Although base color is immaterial, certain patterns and basic colors predominate".
NOWHERE is there any PENALTY of any kind for excessive white - it is not listed as a minor fault, a serious fault or a disqualifying fault.  White can be considered a "base color", which is "immaterial" , or unimportant, according to the standard.
THERE ARE NOW 44 U.S. CHAMPION PIEBALD DACHSHUNDS!
Several piebald Dachshunds have been awarded points, including majors, since the revision took effect in March 2007, and 6 have finished their AKC championships!
DEAR JUDGES:  DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED!  Apply the standard

DUCHWOOD'S DO-IT-ALL DOXIES!
   
We are also proud of the performance Dachshunds we have bred.  The Duchwood doxies with the most titles to date are:  Field Ch. Duchwood Great Expectations MS, C.D.X., AX, NAP, AXJ, OJP, also known as "Stella" (the black/tan on the left).  We congratulate her and owner, Holly Deeds, of Chattanooga, TN, for their continuing hard work!  Onward to Utility!

U.S./Can. Ch. Duchwood's Cedarhurst PI MS, U.S./Can. C.D., RAE, JE, NJP, also known as "Pi" (the black/tan piebald on the right).  We congratulate him and owner, Kathleen Johnson, of Duluth, MN, for their amazing accomplishments.  Pi just needs a first place to finish his field championship!  


Duchwood Kennels has been in existence for over 25 years breeding quality, AKC-registered,  Miniature Smooth Dachshunds for pet, show, and performance events.  We are also involved in field trials, agility, and earth dog tests with titles in all of these venues. Our emphasis is on sound temperament and movement.   Most of our pet quality puppies are placed with families who have young children.  We have been breeding piebald (or spotted) mini smooth dachshunds since 1990, but still maintain a separate line of solid red and black/tan show/pet/field dogs, as well.

Occasionally, we have show and pet/performance quality puppies and adults available for sale.  Pet puppies are always sold on spay/neuter contracts with limited AKC registration papers and health guarantees.   People interested in a pet puppy should be prepared to provide references.  Serious inquiries from established show breeders are invited for show-quality puppies as we do sell our good ones, both solids and piebalds.  Show pups will be sold on co-ownerships if we do not know you.  Stud service is available to approved, show-quality bitches only.  Outside bitches may be temporarily co-owned by us for the duration of their litters so that we will have control over where their puppies are placed if we do not know you well.

Duchwood Kennels will always take back any dog or pup we have sold at any time for any reason if the owner is not able to provide it with a loving home.  We will find a good home for it or it will stay here permanently.

Note:  All titles are AKC (American Kennel Club), the only true, original dog registration and show organization in the U.S.  Other so-called " registries" such as the CKC (Continental Kennel Club), SKC (States Kennel Club), and APR (American Puppy Registry) were formed by people  kicked out of the AKC for rules violations.  They formed these "clubs" so that they could say their puppies were "registered" and the uneducated public would think they were buying a purebred puppy. Never buy a puppy from someone who uses these registries as there is no guarantee that the puppy will be purebred.  These organizations will register literally anything without proof of lineage.  They even encourage the registration of mixed breeds which they call "designer breeds".  These "designer breeds" are nothing more than mutts since they do not breed true, yet people are paying ridiculous prices for them.  Don't get sucked in by the hype on these web sites and even on TV.  A mutt is a mutt and to think otherwise is to seriously delude yourself.
