* About Us

FlicKennel Miniature Dachshunds – Colorado doxies with altitude!!! 39 years’ experience raising and showing dachshunds means we raise the best – personality, temperament, conformation, coats and bloodlines in our State licensed AKC kennel - where every meal is home cooked. Our dogs are socialized from Day One and treated with love and respect. We give a written health guarantee, and all dogs we sell are current on worming and shots for age; they can be shipped nationwide with vet-check.

We have All Patterns, All Colors, All Coats - and dachshunds have more of those than any other dog breed!

We are located in rural northeastern Custer County in the Wet Mountains, foot-hills of the incredibly lovely Sangre de Cristo Mountains (pictured below), at an elevation of just over 8,000 feet above sea-level. Consequently, our dogs are healthy, hardy and strong, well able to handle the lower oxygen level up here without heart problems. We're often asked if our dachshunds have back troubles, and the answer is a resounding NO!!! Our goal is to breed-out the weaknesses inherent in dachshunds and only to improve them, if we can. We don't keep "duds" in our breeding program - any that don't pan out, or need to be retired for whatever reason, are either contributed to Colorado's Department of Corrections "Cell Dog Program," (which is glad to get every one we send them - they love our dogs!) or an excellent permanent family home is found for them. We're pretty picky about who takes our babies home, and have terminated more than one sale-in-progress because the prospective buyer wasn't exactly the type we wanted for our puppies. We don't mean to be rude, but if something doesn't feel quite right, it usually isn't. Our puppies deserve the best people and homes we can find for them!

Our dogs are available to be seen by appointment only, so if you wish to see any of them in person, you'll have to call 719-783-2955 and set up a day and time to come up the mountain. When you call, you'll be given driving directions to find us. Bring your camera - it's very picturesque up here, and you never know when you might get to see a deer, elk, bear, cougar, or just our wonderfully scenic mountains. It's well worth the drive from wherever you are, and we sincerely hope to meet you and be able to send a puppy or two home with you.
