About Rockin DachshundsWe bought our first dachshund puppy in April 2004 as a birthday gift for our oldest daughter. We started with this breed because everyone told us that if you live in the country you need a dachshund to keep snakes and mice away from the house. Sadie was her name and she did exactly what everyone told us, she kept snakes away from our house. The other thing Sadie did for our family is she made us fall in love with the character of the dachshund breed. They are very loving and sweet dogs with the best personality. Then Sadie had a litter of puppies and we were hooked. Now we have 17 dogs, and we love and shower each of them with attention just like they are the only one.
Our facility is located on 200 acres in Texas about 45 miles southeast of San Antonio. Our breeding stock is housed in what we call our canine condos. Their accommodations include bed, food, water, heat, air conditioning and an outside run that they can access to at their convenience. When our bred females are approximately 2 weeks from delivering a new litter we move them into our home to whelp and the puppies are there until they find their new homes. We worm the puppies every 2 weeks and they are started on Puppy shots at 6 weeks. We strive to raise healthy, happy, well adjusted puppies in a clean facility. Our puppies have to be at least 8 weeks old before they can leave our facility.
