OUR
RETIRED BOYS
(Duchwood's Albomaculatus Nanus x Duchwood's Pebblestone MS, ROM [field pts.])
The first male piebald dachshund in breed history to finish his championship is his brother, PI, bred by us and owned by Jean Jasinsky of Cedarhurst Kennels in Minnesota. Phoenix is the second smooth piebald male dachshund to finish his championship. He is a spectacular mover and passed on his movement to his pups, as well as his outgoing personality and long keel and ribbing. He's well on his way to his field championship, too, and just needs a 1st place to finish. He was a size increaser (he weighs 11.5 lb) and has been used in a standard piebald breeding program. BAER tested 7/2/03 by Dr. George Strain, LSU - bilateral hearing perfect.

Wolfie is an elegant dog who is both a bench and field champion. He was Reserve Winners Dog at the Dachshund Club of America National Specialty Show in 1998. He has excellent ribbing and keel length, nice front and rear angles, and fabulous side movement. He weighs 12 lb. but seems to be a size reducer. His champion black/tan piebald son, Crosby (Duchwood's A First For Me MS) can bee seen below, and his champion daughter, Afton, (Duchwood's After Dark MS) is on the female page. Wolfie experienced back pain and ataxia (the wobbles) at age 10, but has fully recovered with steroids and extensive crate rest.

Little AJ has his dad's fabulous front and a better rear than Bryce, plus he's smaller (10 lb) and lower to the ground. He's a smooth moving machine like dad, too! His head resembles his grandad, Decker. AJ is co-owned and lives with Christine Goddard of YNot Dachshunds in Tennesee. He won Winners Dog at the National Miniature Dachshund Club's Mini-Expo, August 2004, a piebald first! He finished his championship with his final major only 2 weeks later. He is the sire of 1 champion son so far. He was not a dominant stud like his dad so he was neutered and placed in a pet home.
(DCh. Duchwood's Big Black Wolf MS x Ch. Duchwood's Nutmeg MS)
Crosby is a small, low-stationed boy with lots of angles and a plain head. He is a lovely mover. He is the sire of 6 champions to date and appears to do well as an outcross sire. However, his dam developed epilepsy at age 4, his sire is showing signs of back trouble at age 10, and now Crosby is having back problems as well at age 5. He will be neutered and placed when he recovers.
(Duchwood's Barney Rubble MS [Ch. pts.) x Duchwood's Panda MS [Ch. pts.])
Saber is a black and tan piebald male who has a few single show points. He was not not campaigned to his breed championship as he got so excited in the ring that he carried his tail way too high. However, he is a very good obedience dog and has started showing in Novice B. I've also started agility with him. He is small (10.4 lb.) but has solid bone, an elegant head and forechest, and lots of front and rear angulation. His puppies out of 3 different bitches are beautiful. He has been neutered and will stay here.

Jedi is a very elegant black and tan piebald male with an outstanding head, front, and rear. He is a spectacular mover. He won only 1 champion point and was retired from the show ring since he disliked it so much. He turned out to be a wonderful producer, though, with 2 champion offpsring. Jedi resided in Wisconsin with his co-owner, Jan Dubois, of Kinder Dachshunds, but has now been placed in a loving pet home.
(Ch. Duchwood's No Way Noah MS x FCH. Kinder's Demure Gray Lady MS, ME)
Dash, a 9 1/2 lb. red male, started his show career with a bang by going Reserve Winners Dog at the National Miniature Dachshund Club's Expo Specialty Show in 1998 at the age of 9 months. Dash is a great grandson of our very first dachshund, Ch. Duchwood's Tad of Doxdane MS, C.D.X., T.D., C.G., and his bright intelligence reminds us of Tad. He's now starting to hunt like his mom, Demi. He is neutered and has gone to his retirement home in Las Vegas.
(Ch. Duchwood's Phoenix MS x DCh. Kinder's Magic Mirror MS)
Sean finished his championship quickly but grew too large for our breeding program. He was neutered and is now living in a pet home in Montana.
(Duchwood's Saber Blade MS [Ch. pts.] x Duchwood's Little Belle MS)
Decker is a tiny but solid 10.75 lb., mahogany red piebald male with heavy ticking and a feminine head. He has excellent keel and rib length, nice front and rear angles, a dippy topline, and is just too darn cute (he knows it, too!). He's not a show dog but was a dynamite agility dog with his Open Agility title and 1 Open Jumpers leg! His champion son, Bryce, out of his first litter with Jazz, is just gorgeous. Unfortunately, Decker is also retired from agility since he blew a back disk and had surgery. Although he can run around, he will never be normal again. Agility had nothing to do with him becoming paralyzed - genetics did. He had not done any jumping in 4 weeks. He went down again a year after his surgery, but came back up after steroid blasting. Decker will stay here for life.
(Ch. Ward's The Cowboy Way MS x Duchwood's Pixie Princess MS)
Aidon is a solid red boy who finished his field championship and won an Absolute (the field equivalent of Best in Show or High in Trial)! He's a dynamite hunter and also has several conformation ch. points. He's heavy-boned, with a wonderful, strong rear, but could use more keel and ribbing length and better shoulder layback. He carries the piebald gene recessively and produced pretty puppies. He has been neutered and is available to a loving pet home for $200 who wants a very energetic boy.
