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 Kathy Johnson 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.
(Duchwood's Webster MS [Ch. pts.] x Duchwood's Pebblestone MS, ROM [field pts.})
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.
(Ch. Duchwood's Red Alert MS x Duchwood's Lindy Star Sapphire MS)
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.
(Duchwood's Saber Blade MS x Field Ch. Duchwood's Starlight MS, CGC)
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 had mild ataxia at age 5 but recovered, so he is now neutered and in a loving 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. Aidon had mild IVDD at age 8 (ataxia - the wobbles in the rear - and pain). He made a complete and rapid recovery on crate rest and steroids.
(FCh. Duchwood's Celtic Courage MS [ch. pts]. x Duchwood's Rubystone MS)
"Casper" has an outstanding body with a perfect topline, great front and rear angles, and long ribbing and keel. His head is OK, eyes a little round and his ears are a little high-set, and his feet could be a little tighter and heavier boned. He is a fabulous mover and is also proving to be an enthusiastic bunny hunter who has now finished his field championship. He weighs 11.0 lb. He was neutered and placed in a pet home in California.
(FCh. Duchwood's Celtic Courage MS x Ch. Duchwood's Nutmeg MS)
"Pierce" is a beautiful boy, though rather large (11.75 lb.), with a stunning head. He has tons of front and rear angles and a good topline. Ribbing and keel could be longer, but he is a wonderful mover. Pierce does not carry the piebald gene recessively. His puppies have been outstanding (see Raven and Darcy). Pierce has gone to Marina Kovalenko, Lisego Nosa Kennels, of St. Petersburg, Russia, where both he and his children will eventually be seen at World shows in Europe. Pierce is Zwerg size and has all of his teeth.
(Ch. Duchwood's Count Cameron MS x Duchwood's Stepping Stone MS (ch. pts.))
Ramsey is a handsome boy with an incredible front assembly and lovely rear angles. His head is gorgeous and he's a friendly boy. His tail set is quite high but he carries his tail low when gaiting. He really has matured and is looking lovely. He is a nice mover with a level topline. Ramsey was bred once, neutered, and placed as a pet in Pennsylvania since no one was interested in him for show and we had too many boys. He produced 3 show pups out of 3 from his one and only litter.
(Ch. Duchwood's Phoenix MS x Ch. Applehil Count Your Blessings)
Graham is a small standard boy (18 lb.) who was never socialized properly by his first owner. He is terrified of men and so could not be shown even though he is a beautiful boy. We bred him once, then neutered him and placed him in a loving pet home in Wisconsin.
(Ch. Duchwood Sounds of Silence MSP x Duchwood's Magic Crystal MS)
Byron is a clone of his dad with a little more elegance. He has a wonderful shoulder assembly, perfect topline and tail set, lots of rear angles, and a gorgeous head. His feet could be tighter but he's a lovely mover. *BAER* tested 7/30/05 by Dr. George Strain, LSU - bilateral hearing perfect. Byron is truly gorgeous and loves people but he has been producing pups with demodectic mange so he has been neutered and placed as a pet in a loving pet home in Louisiana with Sasha. Pedigree
(Can. Ch.Grandgables Bean And Done It MS x Can. Ch. Duchwood's A Southern Girl MS)
"Harley" was bred in Canada by Darrin Pettitt. He is a stunning, mahogany red boy with good bone, lovely front and rear angles, a handsome head, and a perfect topline when stacked; he does not hold the topline when moving so was not shown. He is a nice blend of English and U.S. bloodlines, and we are excited about the pups he has produced as he seems to be a size reducer.. Harley weighs 10.75 lb. He was neutered and retired to a special pet home in New York.
(Ch. Duchwood's Red Alert MS x Duchwood's Lindy Star Sapphire MS)
Fargo is AJ's brother, and went on co-ownership to Admindac Kennels in British Columbia. He's a flashy, handsome, large boy with lots of angles, a showy personality, and a pretty head. He finished his Canadian championship quickly and produced several champions in Canada. He has been retired to a pet home.
(Ch. Grandgables The Gladiator MS x Ch. Duchwood's After Dark MS)
Danny is a very handsome boy who is a superb mover. He has lovely front and rear angles, long ribbing and keel lengths, and a good topline that shows only a little dip when moving. His head profile is lovely but he is a little broad across the topskull and his eyes are a little round. He has a happy-go-lucky attitude towards life and loves the show ring. He has gone to a show home in France where we hope he will light up the show ring with his personality. We kept 2 of his daughters.
(U.S./Russian Ch. Duchwood's Pierce Arrow MS x Duchwood Fool's Gold MS)
Gavin has a lovely front (upper arm could be a touch longer), good ribbing and keel length, a wonderful rear, and handsome head. He could use more forechest. He has a wonderful personality and loves everyone. He is a spectacular mover with complete extension of his hocks, something you do not ordinarily see in a Dachshund. Gavin is also showing promise as a bunny hunter, with several placements at field trials. He still has not even seen a bunny yet. Sadly, Gavin has experienced IVDD (March 2010) problems and has been removed from our breeding program. He is walking again after being steroid blasted and we hope he will make a full recovery.
