Sasha has a truly lovely shoulder assembly but could use more forechest. His topline is perfect, and he has good  ribbing and keel lengths.  He is still an immature boy and needs to fill out even though he is a good eater (very active outside all day).  He has lovely rear angles and has finally grown into his hocks.  His head is stunning and he looks almost exactly like his dad, Vito.  Sasha moves straight and true with reach and drive and a level topline.  He has all of his teeth and will  probably mature around 11-11.5  lb.  Sasha is very friendly and confident and is show trained.  This is one very handsome male Dachshund.  His is also quite silly, a talker, and a fanatic ball retriever.  He loves water and will make spectacular dives for his ball into the little wading pool we have for the dogs.  He is available as a definitely finishable show prospect for $750 on co-ownership to a show home only, or for $1,500 outright overseas.  I am going to start showing him later in 2008 and may end up keeping him myself.

  "Holly"

Halls Creek Decking The Halls 
(Ch. Duchwood's Buyonegetonefree MS x Auberleas Soft Music (red standard with ch.pts., both majors) 

Date of Birth:  December 26, 2005 

Holly is the result of a miniature to a standard breeding which was done to produce, eventually, a  standard piebald.  She CARRIES the piebald gene and LOOKS like a standard.  Although she weighs a little over 16 lb., she does NOT look small in the show ring.  She has a wonderful personality and LOVES to show.  She would be a great Jr. Show dog as she has the attitude.  She is also very finishable and went RWB the only time I showed her.  She ADORES small children.  Her shoulder layback is very nice but upper arm is a little short; good topline; nice rear angles; good ribbing and keel lengths; gorgeous head; front feet a little loose.  She is a free-whelper and a good mother with 8 pups in her first litter.  She is available to the right show home who will finish her.  Her price is $800 outright, or she can go to a pet home for $250.

Elvis (with those sleepy eyes!) is turning out to be a very lovely boy who will be a true small standard.  He floats when he moves with a dead level topline.  It will take awhile for him to mature and fill out, but he is going to be a stunning show dog.  He loves people and other dogs although he is a dominant boy with the other young males.  Elvis is available as a show dog on co-ownership for $600 to a show home.  Once mature, he should finish his championship easily.  He could be valuable to a mini breeding program to get that "standard" look when bred to small girls, or he could be bred to large standards females to bring the size down as some standards are getting just too darn big.   Elvis may or may not carry the piebald gene.  He is leash- and crate-trained and travels well.  Shipping to any part of the country is $285.

Reba is also going to be a small standard - maybe 16 lb. or so at maturity.  She has a perfect topline, lovely rear, nice ribbing and keel lengths, good shoulder layback, and a pretty head.  She could use more forechest and her upper arm is a little short.  She moves beautifully, though, with a level topline.  It will take her awhile to fill out and mature.  She is friendly and loves people and other dogs.  She could be bred to a large standard male to get standard pups, or to a small miniature male to get minis that look like standards.  She may or may not carry the piebald gene.  Reba is leash- and crate-trained.  She is available to a show home for $600 on co-ownership.  Shipping to any part of the country is $285.

Celine will probably mature under 12 lb., so I'm designating her as a miniature.  She is a lovely girl with tons of front and rear angles, a level topline, and gorgeous head.  She's a little narrow in front right now, but I think that will change as her chest fills out.  She is friendly and likes other dogs.  I'm thinking she will be a good match for Gunner to produce gorgeous little minis.  She is available on co-ownership to a show home for $750.  Celine may or may not carry the piebald gene.

Date of Birth:  May 29, 2007  

Gunner is another very stunning, and very correct little boy.  He will stay well under 11 lb. at maturity.  He is a clear, medium red with a perfect topline and lots of front and rear angles.  He has a gorgeous head and tight feet although his nails are brown, indicating he carries chocolate (dark eyes, black nose and eye rims).  He has a lovely forechest and long keel, but needs more rib length.  He loves dog shows and people and other dogs and is ready to show now.  I am keeping his larger littermate, Gable, so Gunner is avalable on co-ownership to a show home for $750 ($3,000 outright overseas - this dog is truly gorgeous).  He is definitely finishable in the U.S. and may even be specials quality.  I don't have the time to do him justice.

Jared is a handsome, muscular, very dark, mahogany red boy with nice front and rear angles, a perfect topline, nice ribbing and keel length, and a lovely head.  He is a little wide going away but a smooth mover from the side.  He has 3 RWDs and 2 WD/BOW wins so far and 3 or 4 pts. now.   He can be a little spooky on the table so needs a confident handler.  He is available for $800 on co-ownership to someone who will finish him or for $1,600 outright overseas.  He's a good traveler and is quiet in his crate.  Jared weighs 12.3 lb. and will have to be shown in the American Bred class.  He is definitely finishable with proper handling.

Date of Birth:  August 28, 2005 (microchipped)  

"Quasar" is such a handsome boy with incredible front and rear angles.  His tail set is high but he holds his tail down in the show ring.  His first time in the ring he took WD and BOW for 2 pts.  He shows like a dream, but I have too many boys to show myself.  He has a perfect topline; handsome head with a melting expression; nice ribbing and keel length; and is a lovely mover.  He is available as a show prospect on co-ownership for $800 to a show home or for $1,600 outright overseas.  He weighs 11.1 lb but is a little porky, so he could possibly be finished out of the Open Mini class.  He likes people and other dogs and is crate and show-trained.  He has brown nails so probably carries the chocolate gene from his sire.

(Ch. Grandgables The Gladiator MS x Ch. Duchwood's After Dark MS) 

Date of Birth:  August 29, 2005 

Danny has finally matured and has turned out better than I thought he would.  He 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.   He is available as a show dog for $800 on co-ownership to someone who will finish him - I have started showing him and he is wonderful show dog.  He loves the show ring and is rock steady on the table.  He will only be available for sale overseas once he has finished his U.S. championship and I have had time to breed to him.   Danny weighs 11.5 lb.  He can be shown in the American Bred Class.  He is definitely finishable with proper handling. 

Duchwood Fool's Gold MS x Ch. Duchwood's Buyonegetonefree MS 

Date of Birth:  July 24, 2006 

Lazer has really morphed into a lovely boy with nice front and rear angles, an incredible forechest, and a handsome head.  His topline looks slightly off when stacked, but is perfectly level when moving.  He tends to lean forward too much when stacked, which is what throws his topline off. Ribbing and keel lengths are OK.  He has all of his teeth and some white hairs down the midline of his chest.  He is going to be a medium-sized boy - maybe 11-12 lb at maturity.  He is a really spectacular mover with a level topline and tons of reach and drive.  He has brown nails (nose is black) so probably carries the chocolate gene.  He is friendly and confident and show-trained.  Lazer is available as a show prospect for $750 on co-ownership to someone who will finish him or $1,500 outright overseas.

Date of Birth:  October 24, 2005   

Seth has turned out to be a really beautiful boy with a solid topline, lots of reach and drive, a handsome head and lovely front and rear angles.  He is a nice mover with lots of reach and drive.  He is a little timid in strange situations and needs extra attention to bring out his personality although he was prancing around at a recent show and seemed to enjoy himself.  I really think he is intimidated by the other boys here and that his personality will really blossom when he gets away from them.  He is available to a show home on co-ownership for $700 (U.S. and Canada only) or $1,400 outright (overseas only) to someone who will finish him.  Seth weighs 11.3 lb. but probably should weigh around 11.5-11.7 lb.  He's a little skinny because of all the girls in heat.  He will have to be shown out of the Amercian Bred class.  He is definitely finishable with proper handling.

Cosmo is a gorgeous, clear red boy with fantastic shoulder layback, lots of rear angles and a good topline.  His upper arm is a little short, he's a little leggy for  my taste, and he could use tighter front feet.  He is a superb mover with a dead level topline and lots of reach and drive.  His head is extremely handsome.  He LOVES dog shows and people and other dogs and would make a fun show dog for someone.  His bite was originally undershot, but it corrected itself when we pulled his upper baby teeth.  However, he may pass this trait on to his offspring, so I am NOT selling him as a breeding prospect, only as a show prospect for someone to have fun with.  He is show-trained and ready to show now.  Cosmo is available to a show home for $500 on co-ownership (no breeding rights or very limited breeding rights) or for $1,500 outright overseas.
