RUBY & STRIPE PUPS
INTRODUCTION:
Wirehaired dachshunds are neat, with typically feisty personalities and great hunting instincts that reflect their terrier heritage. Both Ruby and Stripe are wires, and these guys are, too. They were born and will be ready for pickup on.

THE PARENTS:
RUBY is our shortest-wirehair, almost smooth in appearance, but she's all wire in temperament - very loving, a great mom, but she could go out and tirelessly hunt all day with the best of them. Wires are great verminators, ridding a home of mice, rats, chipmunks and whatever other critters there might be.
STRIPE is a wheaten-brindle, where the dark brindle striping almost completely obscures his ripe-wheat base color, turning him a deep blue with hints of gold - it's hard to see except when we've clipped him nearly to his hide, usually for the summer. He has champions in his bloodlines, and has been shown, winning his classes each time.
The parents' photos are posted below their puppies' descriptions.

Shaggy and scrappy as any terrier, it is believed that wirehair dachshunds were the result of crossing smooth doxies with wirehaired or rough terriers. The AKC Breed Standard says the ideal wirehair dachshund has short, smooth hair, not sticking out in all directions, but doxies don't read and our dogs typically have "crazy hair," except for Ruby. Her sons have her rough, coarse hair, and they're shaping up to be lovable, sweet, and tenacious fighters for all that's right in the world, although they'd rather curl up in your lap and stay warm this winter!
THIS BOY is a "small, dark and handsome" little guy - "ten feet tall and bullet-proof" in his own mind - he's fearless! Black & tan is a classic coloration for doxies, but there's something really "James Bond"-like about putting that suit on a wirehair - they grow out their little black or tan beards and tan eyebrows, and look just as debonair as if they had "top-hats and tails," ready for a night on the town. Take our "Dapper Dan" out for the evening - he has the same short, rough and wiry coat as his mom, but in GLOSSY BLACK! He is available for only $250. You'll be oh so glad you chose this guy - wirehairs are in a class all their own!
THE MOTHER:
Flicks Ruby Red Whine MW is a sweet little red wirehair, born Oct. 3, 2006, the daughter of Randy, an American cream piebald smoothcoat, and Sparky, a wheaten wirehair. Sparky has a very calm demeanor for a wire, which she has given in good measure to Ruby. Of our wires, Ruby has been the very best little mama. She is NOT for sale!
